The reason why I wanted to present this phase of It at this time is that the Committee on Foreign Affairs has reported a bill to exempt from the operation of the alienenemy act these several subject peoples now resident in the United States that are. when considered under International law. conceded subjects of AustriaHungary. but who are perforce very much opposed to AustriaHungary. They are the Czechs from Bohemia. the Slovaks from Moravia. the Poles from Silesia. the Ruthenians from Galicia. and a great number of Rounmanians from the eastern section of Hungary.- a great number of Serbians from the south country. and many Italians from the Adriatic country. and also very many Croatians and Slovenes. I looked up our immigration tables. It is stated therein that we have about 3.000.000 of them in this country. ninny of them not citizens. why I do not know. But just the moment the opportunity came. by our declaration of war. for them to show their opposition to their ancient enemy and their favor for our country they sprang to the colors and went into the Army.
