ernmont circles OF tho advisaoillty
OF eScmpting some Of the many races
included IN the Austro- Hungarian
Empire who are supposed to have no
sympathy with their home country
and arc in reality It's unwilling sub
jects. There are thousands OF them
actively engaged in industries in this
country. particularly In mines, In fac
tories and in shipping labor along mo
docks.
Senator Knox OF Penhsylvania said
that the declaration Of war does not
mean that mine workers OF these
races will be treated as alien enemies.
