WESTENHAVER, District Judge.
The question presented on this demurrer is the effect of the state of war between the United States and Austria-Hungary upon the two-year limitation imposed by the wrongful death statute of Ohio. Gen. Code Ohio, §§ 10772 and 10773 — 1. These sections require an action for wrongful death to be commenced within two years after the date of the death, but, if so commenced or attempted to be commenced within two years, and it fails otherwise than upon the merits, and the two years have expired, a new action may be commenced within a year after the date of such failure.
