sTRATEC|C VETERANS USE SOAP 0N RAILS ID
 STOP MOVING TRAIN

CASEYVILLE, ILL, May 25, - With the aid of some soap and some strategy that would have done credit to a World War general, BIO World War veterans captured another freight train here Tues day on their hilarious journey to Washington, D. c.
 The soap went upon the rails to cause the locomotive driving wheels to spin, thus slowing up a Balti- more and Ohio freight train. The strategy confounded railroad po- lice who thought the travellers had diSbanded when in reality they were laying in wait for another freight.
 After days of opera bouffe, com mandeering of trains in the vicin- ity, the veterans are enroute again to Washington, from Portland, Ore, under the command of w. w. Wat CTS, to lobby for passage of the Sol dlerS' bonus bill.
 Waters announced today tn a t the caravan had given up in dis gust. He left East St. Louis in a bus. Most of the ex-soldiers, who have been camping on top of a freight train which the railroad refused to move, said that they would hitch-hike either to Wash ington or back home.
 The railroad heaved figura- tive sigh of relief and began to roll it's long delayed freight trains out of the East St. Louis yards. One train arrived in Casyville, seven miles away, only to have the wheels begin to slip. The crew then began to scratch their horny ears; and just about that time the veterans began to arrive. They climbed on board, uncoupled the cars in sev- eral places and announced that the train would remain in Casey vile until they were allowed to ride east. The trainmen said that was fine because they had been or dered to stop any train in it's tracks if they found a veteran on board.
