cars, furnished by East st. Louis
Qll) merchants. They encamped
Immediately along the railroad
right-of-way.
They Immediately announced
their plan of capturing a train.
Equally determined to prevent
the capture" the railroad massed
seventy special police and detectives
to guard the freight yards.
The detectives, under command Of
Captain William Waiman, said their
orders we're to prevent the men from
boarding a train at any cost.
G. w. Galloway. president Of
the Baltimore 81 Ohio, was here 10
protect the railroads interest in the
pending war"
Local POllce neutral
I'VE will not allow our property 10
be confiscated," Galloway said.
The railroad will not stand by
idly. and allow these men to board
its freight trains"
Local police we're neutral in the
conflict. City officials greeted the
veterans. and said they sympathized
with the purpose Of the crusade.
Citizens and local American
Legion posts fed the men during
their stay here.
Indiana state police, who escorted
the party from the Illinois line,
said their only instructions we're to
see that the veterans arrived here
without disorder.
Capture" Of train loaded with
perishable freight at Caseyville. Ill,
by the bonus army" resulted in
mobilization Of six companies Of
militia, but no violence occurred.
Reioined by Leader
The pilgrims we're rejoined by
their commander chief" w. w.
Waters of Portland, Ore, at Sum-
ner, III. Waters left the group, after
the standstill developed at East ST.
Louis, and went TO Washington, Ind.
Washington, Ind, is 100 per cent
for US was the word Waters
brought back TO his comrades. IF
we're as welcome at Washington,
D. c. the pilgrimage will be a
success"
The military discipline of the
band was maintained closely. Two
veterans were dismissed from the
group, when 1t was discovered they
had been begging.
The crusade is organized on COM
munistic lines. There are four
companies" each with its COM
handing officer. All decisions are
made by vote of the members.
Each man, dressed in remnants
Of army uniforms, and shabby
civilian clothing. wears a blue "serv-
ice stripe" with his Identification
and unit number.
All are registered, and are re-
quired to show their honorable dis
charge papers before being allowed
to join the band.

ago it was commonplace if the murderer
screamed out an insult or cry for vengeance,
for the mob to roar back: Down with DeblerI

At that time Anatole Deibler was pariah
outcast, even to common folk If he walked
into cafe where he was known drinkers would
sink away, fellows playing cards in q back
room would stop their game and even barten-
ders looked sickly 1t was partly horror Of
Deblers profession and partly the belief that
he brought bad luck
When he asked for the hand of neighbor's
daughter, the father indignantly refused. No
proprietor was willing to rent him a house
apartment People closed the shutters hur-
riedly when he passed in the street. No one
wanted his trade, no one would say pleasant
word to him.
Since 1871 the Paris executioner has served
all France and Corsica, and DeibleT met the
same reception when he travelled to provincial
cities to flip off head. The expression
Monsieur de Paris" comes from the fact that,
to the proyncials he was the gentleman from
Paris; indeed, kind of bogyman.
A miraculous change has taken place in the
public attitude since then, due largely to the
man himself
Today, if Anatole Deibler is not invited to
the most brilliant Partisan soirees, he is at
least welcome guest at the cafe around the
corner or in any home in the neighborhood,
and the skill with which he overcame an
almost insuperable barrier shows much genius.
AS young man he was not called to do his
military service, for both his father and grand
father were headsmen. No one else in France
could escape service but the army would not

to serve. He was taken finally and was the
butt Of many cruel jokes but it gained him
respect. That was the first step in a carefully
thought-out campaign of which the watch
words seemed to be tact, sympathy, efficiency.
host of other mortals with much smaller
handicaps have not succeeded so well as he
has done
DEIBLER also objected to his title Of
u "bourreau," brutal word meaning
executioner
In the popular mind centuries of horror and
hatred were packed in that little word. The
French language, which has polite glossy ex-
pressions for many unpleasant things, had no
nice term for a headSman. Deibler thought
it over for months, even years, and finally
persuaded the ministry Of justice to change
his title to Executor deS Hautes-Oeuvres," a
vague judicial expression implying person
who merely carries out the sentences of the
high courts of justice. It threw the RESPONSE
bility for his grim penalty onto the judges and
juries, in part This change was master stroke
of psychology. Even the riffraf mob which
gathered to watch executions commenced to
get different slant on Diebler's role.
Somehow the public also began to appreciate
that holding executions under so many critical
eyes was a delicate business. A hangman or

With Debler the drama was over in flash.
He had a tact and a sympathy never seen be-
fore, but he worked like lightning. There was
no confusion, no nervousness Both actor and
audience were dazed by his efficiency 1t was a
relief to the French government for years to
have one public servant, and especially one
playing such a spectacular, sinister, unsym-
pathetic role, to be absolute perfection.

"A DEIBLER proved himself unique in a
lVI. sinister role. For example, he never
entered a cell with the warders to tie up a
condemned mans hands, but that he bowed
and said:
'T am sorry to do this, monsieur. Unfortu-
nately, it is the rule here" Psychologically,
this was a knockout. The poor wretch prob
ably had not been called "Sir" for months. For
him it was the mark of a white man. who
would treat him as decently as the law per-
