Imposing Building.

The imposing international building
will stand on an attractive site cover
ing about five acres to the south OF
and In close proximity to the White
House, the state war and navy de-
partment building, the Corcoran art
gallery, and that of the Daughters of
the American Revolution. 1t Is also
near the Washington monument. The
dimensions of the building will be APP
proximately 160x160 feet, its main por-
ton standing two stories above a
high studded, basement and being In
turn surmounted by dignifed ballus-
trades. The rear portion, in order to
cover a capacious assembly hall, will
rise still higher.
The general architecture will sug-
gest Latin American treatment out of
respect to the fact that 20 Of the FL
republics are of Latin origin, at the
same time possessing such monumen-
tai characteristic as will make II har-
monize with the general scheme for
the improvement Of Washington. II
will be constructed throughout of
steel and concrete, with the effect of a
Spanish stucco finish n with white
marble steps, foundations and trim
minBs.
A large reading room will be a fea-
ture where. can be seen all the South
as well as North American publica-
lions, besides important historical
data. A beautiful assembly chamber
that, for present purposes. may be
called the Hall of the American Am
bassadors," will provide the only
room of its kind in the United States
especially designed for international
conventions, receptions to distin-
gf,ished foreigners. and for diplomatic
and social events OF a kindred nature.
The bureau Is strictly an international
and independent organization, main
tanned by the joint contributions,
based on population of the FL Amer
lean governments.
Nearly 100000 will be spent in
construction and fitting up h build
ing, of which Andrew Carnegie con-
tributed $750,000. 1t will be unique,
not only for Washington, but In all
the world, serving as an international
headquarters or offices In one national
capital Of 81 American nations, the
nearest approach to 1t being h new
temple Of peace, now being erected at
The Hague.

BAKE AND FREEZE
LEG TO SAVE LIFE
DR.. Sullivan, an Inferno, Aids
Policeman Carpenter Where
Elders Despaired.

New York. May 12-After experienced
physicians had declared that even am
putation of a leg might not save the
life OF Policeman Coles Carpenter, and
a priest had been summoned to admin
lister the last rites OF the church. DIR.
Raymond Sullivan. a young inferno In
st. Mary's hospital succeeded, by the
alternate baking and freezing process,
In saving Carpenters life and leg.
While stepping from a car last July
Carpenter fell on a rusty nail, wound
ing his right leg. Modification set in,
and last December It was decided am
putation was necessary.
DR.. Sullivan, son OF DIR. John d. Sulli-
van, a police surgeon, said he believed
he could save the limb. As amputation
in Carpenters condition was most pre-
carious, the inferno was allowed to take
the case.
DIR. Sullivan baked Carpenters leg
In q heat from $50 to 200 degrees to in
duce a rush of blood to the limb. He
then plunged It into an ammonia ice
tank to drive the blood out quickly and
carry away the impurities which had
caused modification. The treatment
proved effective and early in April Car
penter could use his leg with the aid OF
clutches. Last night he took a long
walk without h c~rutches. His leg
will soon be normal.
