Gets Out Of War Zone.

Sioux Falls.--Philip StrobowitZ, q
tailor employed by a Madison firm, has
been reunited with his wife after a
separation of four and one-half years.
After prolonged efforts she finally was
able to get out OF the war zone In 20
land with her children and sail for the
United States to rejoin her husband.
When Strobowitz left Warsaw vel
four years ago to come to the United
states he intended to send transpor-
tation as 500 as possible for his wife
to come to America. He first had to
earn the money in this country tc pay
for her transportation. The val broke
out before he had accumulated sufG-
cient money and communication be-
tween husband and wife was broken
of by wal conditions. Last October
he sent money to her last known ad-
dress for her transportation to Amer
lea but he eve learned whether or
not the money ever reached her. Fin
ally an international organization Of
Hebrews took hold of the case, with
the result that Mrs. Strobowitz was
brought to the United States with the
aid OF the organization and now has
been reunited with her husband. The
arrival Of the wife was almost like one
returning from the dead for Strobe
WITT, as he had commenced to fear
that she had died in some of the refu-
gee camps of Poland.
