Prayers of Aged Mother for Son's Pardon Answered

WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. -- The prayers of an aged mother for her erring soldier son fell on sympathetic ears at the whit'e house on Thursday and Mrs. Margaret Anderson, the 63-year-old mother who made her way largely afoot from Sioux Falls, S. D., to Washington, left the white house strong with hopes that her son would soon be returned to her. Her son, Joseph, is serving a two years sentence at Leavenworth on a charge of desertion. The boy, a private in company K, 139th infantry of the 35th division, was wounded and gassed at the Argonne. After his return from abroad he receivel a furlough but failed to return to his regiment. He then enlisted in a coast artillery unit under a different name, which constitutes desertion under military law. POINCARE'S INTENT
