]\ WASHINGTON, D. C.—Attention
| j has been drawn to a law on the stat
| ute books which, as soon as the joint
[ resolution declaring a state of war ex
| its was adopted, applies to all unnatur
j alized Germans in this country. The
J law is as follows:
j “Whenever there is a declared war
| between the United States and any
j foreign nation or government, or any
j invasion or predatory incursion is per
j petrated, attempted or threatened
> against the territory of the United
* States by any foreign nation or gov
i ernment, and the president makes
, public proclamation of the event, all
! natives, citizens, denizens or subjects
1 of the hostile nation or government,
being males of the age of 14 years
and upward, who shall be within the
United States and not actually natur
j alized, shall be liable to be appre
j hended, restrained, secured and re
! moved as alien enemies. The presi
dent is authorized, in such event, by
his proclamation thereof or other pub
lic acts, to direct the conduct to be
observed on the part of the United
States towards the aliens who become
so liable, the manner and degree of
restraint to which they shall be sub
ject, and in what cases and upon what
security their residence shall be per
mittee!, and to provide for the removal
of those, who, not being permitted to
reside within the United States, re
fuse or neglect to depart therefrom,
and to establish other regulations
which are found necessary in the
! premises and for the public safety.”
Under the old Prussian-American
treaty of 1828, German citizens here
would be, to an extent, exempt from
the provisions of this law. The United
States, however, has refused to accede
to a proposal of the Berlin govern
ment that the treaty be reaffirmed!
with changes and additions, and it is :
understood the document will be de
dared abrogated.
BE NEUTRAL
MADRID, April ID.—Count Roman
ones, president of the council of minis
ters, received a representative of the
Associated Press at the presidencia to-1
day, and discussed the various ques
tions growing out of the European war
as they affect Spain now and in the j
future, and the increasing importance 1
which the war has given to strength
ening the friendly relations and estab
lishing a strong commercial under
standing between Spain and the Unit
ed States.
Count Romanones is not only the j
guiding spirit of the government dur- j
ing these war days but he is in effect j
the government itself, for while head j
of a ministry responsible to the king
j and cortes, yet this responsibility has
1 never been successfully challenged, so
I that Romanones has come to be rec
j ognized as the embodiment of Spanish
! policy, much as President Wilson is ac
cepted in Europe as the exponent of
| American doctrine.
The president of the council was still
at his desk at 8 o’clock in the evening,
receiving delegations form the cortes,
•which he had just decided to suspend,
in order to give the government a
freer hand without the embarrassment
of popular discussions over delicate
war measures. He has the easy and
agreeable manners of a high-born
Spanish nobleman, combined with an
approachable and sympathetic tact
which have made him the idol of the
liberal and democratic elements of the
cortes and the people.
“Spain appears to be firmly deter
mined to maintain her attitude of ab
solute neutrality between the two
belligerent parties,” was suggested to
the president of the council.
“Yes, absolute neutrality together
with a maintenance of international
law," he replied. “We feel that both
should go together, and while deter
mined not to vary from the course o:
neutrality which we have observer
from the outset, we belie vq this shouh
be done without permitting the princi
pies of international law and justice t<
i be obscured or varied in the slightest
! degree—a right which is of great im
! portance to Spain and particularly t(
I the lesser neutral countries like Swit
| zerland, Holand, Denmark and th<
I Scandinavian countries, for without
i
[ the safeguards of international law
j these lesser countries are at the com
I plete mercy of the great and power
| ful nations.
x » in f*a,v lb x^ ma amu\ ?
an easy task to reconcile this observ
ance of neutrality with the mainten
ance of all the well established safe
guards of international law, because
the war has created many entirely new
conditions never before presented
when international law was being
evolved, as in the case of the new dis
coveries by which warfare is conduct
ed in the air, under the sea, and with
the aid of wireless communication. We
believe, however, that Spain will be
able to accomplish these two desirable
objects—neutrality and the observ
anace of international law—and that
in reality the seeming conflict be
tween them is largely one of detail
which can be adjusted by the exercise
of good will and generous disposition.”
“From what you have said,” was
suggested to the president of the coun
cil, “it is inferred that Spain is equally
determined not to enter the war.”
“That is a very definitely fixed pol
icy on our part,” he replied. “We do
not want war and do not like war, and
we not only hope but we confidently
expect and believe there is no occasion
whatever now, and will be no occasion
in the future, requiring Spain to
change her attitude of neutrality and
enter the war. Spain has every inter
est in remaining at peace, and has
absolutely no interest in going to
war.”
ROOSEVELTIAN VIGOR
BACK OF ARMY PLAN
WASHINGTON, April 10.—Colonel
Roosevelt, full of his olrl-time vigor
and enthusiasm, began here today a
personal campaign designed to resu't
“at the earliest possible moment” in
the appearance of the American flag
and American soldiers, including him
self, upon the firing line in France.
The former president placed his
plans for recruiting a division of
troops before President Wilson at a
half-hour conference at the White
House and during the remainder of the
day and evening was busy with callers
at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth. He talked about
his project to the chairmen of the mi
nority members of the house and sen
ate military committees and made ar
rangements to write them letters giv
ing more specific details.
Confers with Officials.
He conferred with Secretary Baker,
and with Howard Coffin, Daniel Wil
lard and Julius Itosenwald, members
of the advisory commission of the
council of national defense. He also
received calls from the British, French
and Japanese ambassadors, Assistant
Secretary of State Phillips, Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Franklin Roose
velt, many senators and representa
tives and a score or more of personal
friends, some of them civilians and
others officers of the army and navy.
Squarely Behind Wilson.
The colonel apparently enjoyed him
self thoroughly. He did not spend a
quiet moment from early morning un
til late at night. At all conferences
he spoke not only of his own plans,
but made it clear that he stood square
ly behind President Wilson in his pro
posal to raise a war army on the prin
ciple of universal military service.
He emphasized that his plans were
not intended to interfere in any way
with the policy of the administration
and that he was anxious to place him
self and the division he proposes rais
ing under the orders of whatever reg
ular army officer may be given com
mand of the expeditionary force.

UNITED STATES
DIE INDUSTRY
I
NKYV YORK, N. Y.—Since the out
break of the European war, the United
States has developed a growing indus
try, and there are now 20 or more
concerns manufacturing dyes, al
though the bulk of United States pro
duction is concentrated in less thanj
half this number; including the]
makers, big and little, of intermedi- j
ates of every desrciption, the figure of |
producers would probably exceed 120.
One concern which three years ago
was turning out 3,000,000 pounds of
dyestuffs a year by using imported in-1
! termediates is today manufacturing
I its own intermediates and is equipped
to turn out 30,000,000 pounds of dye
stuffs a year. Another concern which
in 1912 was capitalized for $75,000 and
employed 50 men and five chemists is |
todayl capitalized at $5,000,000, and '
employs 1000 men and 38 chemists.
Dr. Edward Ellery before the Amer
ican Chemical society points out that
America is now selling dyestuffs in
all the open markets of the world.
In 1914 about $350,000 of dye was
exported, whereas in the year ended
June, 1916, more than $5,000,000 ofj
dyes, including natural dyestuffs, was i
sold to France, England, Spain and i 1
Canada.
Until 1914 the quantity of suitable
coal tar produced in this country was
limited because illuminating gas in
almost all cities is produced by the j
decomposition of water with heated ,
coal in which process the coal tar is;
not a by-product. However, the United :
States is now getting increasing quan- |
tities of coal tar as a by-product of
the coking ovens. The unprecedented |
demand for pig iron has caused a
great expansion in the coke industry
and as improvements are made in the
ovens, the United States will have a
f
sufficient quantity of suitable coal tar
to meet its needs in the dye industry.
It is also true that capital was some
mhat cautious about embarking in any
new enterprises, and especially so in ■
view of the fact that it would be
obliged to compete with industries
that another government was subsi
dizing, as was the case in Germany
Heretofore the dye industry has been
of secondary importance as far as
United States business was concerned
but since the outbreak of the war it
has become of national welfare, and
developments indicate that when the
•need arises the chemist, aided by the
capitalist can successfully meet the ■
situation.
