"ANCEL OF SIBERIA"
is BUYING REFUGE
FOR HUMAN WRECKS
(By Associated Press)

STOCKHOLM, April 25.-A refuge
OF rest and PHYSICAL rehabilitation
where the human wrecks of German
war prisoners from Russia and ST.
IBERIA may be treated and salvaged is
being purchased by Miss Elsa Brand
strom, known throughout Central Eu-
rope and Russia as 1.-The Angel OF
Siberia
Miss Brandstrom is negotiating for
village in southern Germany which
she proposes to turn into a human
reclamation camp for the derelicts
that once marched proudly under Hin
denburg and other Teutonic military
leaders against the Russians and were
captured and sent to Siberian concen-
tration camps.
They remained in Siberia till long
after the World war was over and
there are still thousands of them left,
free to return home if they could. But
they have neither the means nor the
physical strength to do so.
Miss Brandstrom is young Swedish
Red Cross nurse, the daughter of the
late General Edward Brandstrom, for
many years Swedish minister to Rus
STA under the cars regime. Leaving
her comfortable home in Stockholm
and the aristocratic social set in which
she had been brought up, she led
small Red Cross expedition into West
ern Siberia and has succeeded in re-
patriating thousands of German and
Austrian war prisoners.
Wrecks Needed Attention
But she found that when the former
soldiers reached their homes they
were unable to assume their former
places in society. They were wrecks
that had to be attended to. So she has
collected a considerable fund and
hopes to purchase village and have it
ready for occupancy this autumn
| AS to the war prisoners still wander
| ing about Russia and Siberia, many of
them will never be found, and none
of them will ever be able to get back
without outside aid. Miss Brandstrom
! proposes to continue rounding up these
waits and bring them to her haven
! of rest.

The White House Gardens

to this pastel group of flowers.
The west garden is laid out along
lines similar to those of the east plot.

flowers featured Spring bulbs arc

Rose Garden Arch.
The attraction in this garden, aside
from the roses, is an arch at the far
end, formed by the privet of the hedge.
English ivy on the lattice beneath this
arch forms soft background for a
small statue. Here again, economy
is noticeable in White House manage
ment The plan called for a marble
statue, but plaster of Paris had to be-
substituted to fit the fund available.
The statue, graceful flute boy, is
now undergoing a spring renovation
before it is set out for the garden sea
son.
Between the garden hedge and the
house runs a beautifully laid out walk
that is really a continuation of the
rose garden. Eight rose trees line
the grass on either side of the walk
and a privet arch forms the gateway
at either end. This is called the Pres
ident's Walk, because it is a shor;
outdoor route from the Executive of

weather, it is commonly used by the
! President in preference to the CORR

speed was challenged by a player of
another team.
Arrangements had been made for
a race between the two, which, be-
cause of the baseball schedule, had to
be run on a Sunday. The plans for
the race had already been made, when
Billy got converted, but the time could
not be changed, and if Billy was to
withdraw, it would mean a defeat.
The First Test.
"My teammates had put up their
money on me. They came to with in

and finally Billy did, he said in tell

"You can't get away from the grip

well, his afternoon sermons are de-

in the audience beside him, they are

Those are the three elements that
have been drawing the people to Billy
Sunday, as a survey of his audiences
suggests. They come because of his
humor, they come again because he
grips them and because they are
made to think.
And the faces of the audience, re-

those three interests, mixed and ming

or to pathos, to gripping climaxes, the
faces of the audience change and ex-
