Action by enemy alien; war suspends limitation. When a person shall be an alien subject, or citizen of a country at war with the United States, the time of the continuance of the war shall not be a part of the period limited for the commencement of the action; but nothing in this section shall be so construed as to consider any citizen or person of any state engaged in rebellion against the United States Government as an alien.
