A Box Car
Robert Imbrie, described as " delegate of the American High Commission to Angora," lives with his wife in a railway passenger car, which he has converted into a " model apartment. "
Angora has no decent hotels and there is a dearth of houses; so when 35 representatives of European business interests in Turkey announced their intention of going to Angora to settle directly the economic clauses of the peace treaty, the Turkish Government was worried. The Imbrie scheme gave them an idea. They are fitting up a train of passenger cars as living quarters for the busy business delegates.
The Imbries are the center of much admiration in Angora social circles. The wife of Mustapha Kemal Pasha is a frequent visitor to the perambulating residence of the United States representative. She has even expressed a desire to have the apartment given to her in the event that Mr. and Mrs. Imbrie be unfortunately compelled to leave!
