Whereas, under and by virtue of the authority vested in me by Aircraft regulations the Constitution of the United States as Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States and of the militia of the several States when called into actual service of the United States, I declared and established as a war measure by proclamation No. 1432 of Feb- Vol. 40, ruary 28, 1918, rules and regulations governing flying by aircraft within the whole of the United States and its territorial waters and of the insular possessions and of the Panama Canal Zone, declaring said territory a zone of military operation and of military preparation;

IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS, it appears that the public good will be promoted by excluding certain lands within the States of Idaho and Wyoming from the Caribou National Forest, and by restoring the public lands subject to disposition in the excluded areas in a manner authorized by the Act of Congress approved September thirtieth, nineteen hundred and thirteen (38 Stat., 113), entitled "An Act To authorize the the President to provide a method for opening lands restored from reservation or withdrawal, and for other purposes";

Now, therefore, I, WOODROW WILSON, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the power in me vested by the Act of Congress approved June fourth, eighteen hundred and ninety-seven (30 Stat., 11 at 34 and 36), entitled "An Act Making appropriations for sundry civil expenses of the Government for the fiscal year ending June thirtieth, eighteen hundred and ninety-eight, and for other purposes", do proclaim that the boundaries of the Caribou National Forest are hereby changed to exclude the areas indicated as eliminations on the diagram hereto annexed and forming a part hereof.

And I do further proclaim and make known that in my judgment it is proper and necessary, in the interest of equal opportunity and good administration, that all of the excluded lands subject to disposition should be restored to homestead entry in advance of settlement or other forms of disposition, and pursuant to the authority reposed in me by the aforesaid act of September thirtieth, nineteen hundred and thirteen, I do hereby direct and provide that such lands, subject to valid rights and the provisions of existing withdrawals, and where lands withdrawn as phosphate are involved subject to the conditions applicable thereto, shall be opened to entry only under the provisions of the homestead laws requiring residence, at and after,

State of Idaho under the provisions of the Act of Congress approved
March third, eighteen hundred and ninety-three (27 Stat., 592), shall
not be abridged in so far as any of such lands are affected thereby.
Unsurveyed lands are not subject to the provisions of said act, but in
the absence of a prior adverse right, the preference accorded the
State of Idaho thereby, where the township has been surveyed, and
the plat thereof filed while the lands were reserved for forestry pur-
poses, will attach immediately upon the restoration of such lands to
selection and entry under the general land laws of the United States
on October 20, 1919, as herein provided, and continue for sixty days.
Prospective applicants may, during the period of twenty days pre- etc.
ceding the date on which the lands shall become subject to entry,
selection or location of the form desired under the provisions of this
Proclamation, execute their applications in the manner provided by
law and present the same, accompanied by the required payments,
to the proper United States land office in person, by mail, or other-
wise, and all applications so filed, together with such as may be sub-
mitted at the hour fixed, shall be treated as though simultaneously
filed and shall be disposed of in the manner prescribed by existing
regulations. Under such regulations conflicts of equal rights will be
determined by a drawing.
