III and Alone, Aged Woman
Finds flepose in Death
That Was Denied Her
During Life.
Unclaimed, unhonored all that
, remains of Mrs. Louise Rusch Mohr,
mother of two boys in the Rain
how division in France, lies in the
Jackson undertaking establishment,
awaiting burial by the Red Cross
home service department.
Poor, sick, homeless and alone, the
aned woman came from Lincoln
Monday, seeking from the local Red
Cross some word of her boys.
Exhausted Every Resource.
To Mrs. Richard Schuenemann,
1118 South Twenty-seventh street,
who took her into her home, where
she died Tuesday, the forlorn moth
er confided that though she had ex
hausted every resource, had written
numberless times to the War de
partment, she was without one word
of information concerning the
whereabouts of her boys.
Even the knowledge of whether
they are dead or alive was denied
her. By day she scanned the long

Dreamed of Som.
Night brought no relief. War
swept battlefields on which her sons
might be lying, pain-wracked hospi"
tal cots which might hold her boys
such dreams as these brought un
told suffering to the little mother in
all the dark days of the war.
When peace came, and with it no
word from either of her boys, the
little woman expressed the wish to
come to Qmaha to glean some in
formation concerning her boys. But
she knew no soul in the big city ex
cept Mrs. Schuenemann, whose
mother in Lincoln she had nursed
through a recent illness. In ap
preciation of the woman's service
to her mother, Mrs. Schuenemann
invited her to stay at the Schuene
mann home while in Omaha.
But the excitement was too much.
The hopes and fears of . the news
about to be vouchsafed her were too
great. The brave heart broke. "Or
ganic heart trouble" the death no
tice reads.
Long Nights of Suspense.
Seen in death, the features are
those of a motherly-looking person
kindlv-lined, but oh, so very
tired! Tired of the long days and
nights of suspense, waiting for a lit

hard days of work to eke out her

on the face is a mole on the left side,

What burial robe there will be,
will have to be provided by the Red
Cross, as the woman had scant ef
fects and no money. A few letters
written in German from that coun
try in 1909, mention the name of one
of her boys, Frederick, but give no
further information as to possible
relatives or friends.
Efforts Are Fruitless.
All efforts of the Red Cross home
service department to trace rela
tives in Lincoln have proved fruit
less. Unless some one who knew
her recognizes the accompanying
photograph taken in death, the body
will be put to rest without a sin
gle sorrowing friend.
According to a state law, the body
is the property pf the state. Were
it not for the Christian burial the
Red Cross will give the body, if no
one claims it, the remains of the
mother who gave two sons to Uncle
Sam could be used for dissection
purposes.
Foreign Exchange With the
Russians to Be Stopped
Washington, Feb. 28. Foreign
exchange transactions between the
United States and Russia have been
prohibited by the federal reserve
board and similar action has been
taken by the authorities of Great
Britain and France. It is under
stood that one purpose of the step
is to stop the financing of bolshevik
propaganda.
The reserve- board, it became
known today, acted at the request of
the State department. Evidence was
obtained, it is said, that large sums
of money had been made available
in the United States for use of bol
shevik agents. Practically the only
means of stopping this was tc? shut
off these transactions.
Tungsten Mines Closed.
Boulder, Colo., Feb. 28. The

as a result of the cancellation of war
orders was given as a reason.
Rioting in Munich.
Copenhagen, Feb. 28. Rioting
