BISMARCK BOYS
MOTHER AGAIN
SEEKS US. AID
Mrs. Marie Hanson, Who
Walked to Washington,
May Again Make Trip
WANTS COMPENSATION

Mrs. Marie Hanson, former resi-
dent of Bismarck, who has walked 20
Washington once and travelled to
army camps on horseback in behalf
of her son, one of the heroes OF
the Argonne and st. Mihiel, was in
Bismarck yesterday again, coming
here from Miles City, Mont. Sh.
is going from here to Eureka, S
D. and may make another trip tc
Washington seeking compensation
Mrs. Hanson lived in Bismarck fol-
decade, until about seven years
ago. Mrs. Hanson formerly was Mrs
John Anderson.
Mrs. Hanson rode through the
west two years ago, from South Da-
kota, visiting the various army
camps throughout the west, search
ing for her son, whom she knew had
returned safely to the United States
from France, and who had disap
peared.
Joe was missing for nineteen
months, and his brother covered al
most the entire country on horse
back, and at last her efforts were
rewarded. A detective notified hel
that her son had re-enlisted in th'
army, this time in the cavalry ant
and had gone to Brownsville, Texas
where his old lung trouble return
ed. that he had been posted as I
deserter, finally arrested and sen
to the military prison at Leaven
worth to begin a two-year term.
Gets Pardon
| His mother, on hearing this, i'm
mediately started to Washington Of
foot, to ask the president to inter
cede and pardon her son. The par
don was granted. While on his wa,
home, the boy was arrested for sign
ing a postoffice order sent to
comrade, and was sentenced t.
serve two years in the same prison
Again his mother, who had not see
him since he had run away to en-
list at the age of II, started afoo
to Washington, and again the presi
dent acted in behalf of her boy, VIII
was discharged. The boy is living i
| South Dakota. where he hopes to re
cover from lung trouble claimed
have been aecentuated by bein
gassed in France.
Brother Killed
While in France the only brothe
of Joe Anderson, Lieut.. Donald Ar
derson was killed in action. Hi
mother received word Of this tn
next day after she had been not
fled that Joe had been gassed an
wounded in the same battle.
Mrs. Anderson from Eureka,
D. probably will go to Kansas, an
from there to Washington, but tn
time in flivver. She will see
compensation for her disabled so
and declares she also will fight ft
the soldier bonus.

STRIKERS WEAKENING

Dusseldorf, Feb. 2.-The BLOCK

was complete today.
Not a single ton of coal or coke
from the Ruhr valley has entered
Germany for SO hours, the French
authorities announced, adding tina
the measures they put into effee
at midnight Wednesday and totall
effective.
The Germans showed no signs
denying the French statement as t.
the effectiveness, but they reporte,
one train of 46 coal cars disregard
ing all signals ran the blockade al
Horde, near Dortmund, yesterday
afternoon and escaped into interior
Germany.
Guard All Lines
The French have men guardinC
every line into Germany and the di
rectors have been informed that an
locomotive that attempts to escape
will be fired upon. Inquiries ad-
dressed to French authorities as tc
why they have not resorted to the
simpler way of tearing up few
hundred yards of track along the
occupied front brought the reply
that they did not wish to interfere
with any traffic at present other
than coal and coke, and desired 70
give the railway men full opportuni-
ty to resume work.
Would Resume Work
As matter of fact the striking
railway workers were showing a Dis
position today to resume their work
on many Of the lines in the interior
of the Ruhr, French military guarl-
ing only lines around the bordcr,
and the itnerior roads now are being
partially operated by Germans.
The strike at Cologne seems 20
be petering out. The Duesseldorf
station was open today at noon fof
the first time since January, but
only small proportion of the sch =
duled trains are running.
Food Supplies Ahead
General Payot, the French quar-.
ter-master general, said that tn
French army service supplies weye
operating efficiently. He said h.
had seven days food supply ahes
while the poilu is assured fifty day
ration of his red wine, which is ju
as essential to the morale of IL
French army as food.
Tobacco dealers and manufactur'

ed by French authorities that tn
must pay the tax on tobacco

was arrested and expelled today.
