BELGIUM MUST BE
 TRUE BUFFER STATE
Interesting Book By Belgium Minister To Japan Situation Is Removed

TOXIC, Jan. Il. Correspondence of The Associated Press)-In an introduc ton which he contributed to a book entitled Belgium. and the European War" which has just been published by Count della Faille de Leverghem, the Belgian minister to Japan, Premier Count Okuma declares his judgement that the peace of Europe and the whole world demands that Belgium be made in the future more firmly than ever a buffer state. The work of Count della Faille is a review of the situation in Belgium since the entrance of German troops at the outbreak of the war. The author discusses in de- tail the evidence concerning the ques- ton of the violation of Belgian neu- trality and alleged German acts of cru ] city and reaches the conclusion that the proof of German cruelty is as Ov- erwhelmins as is certain the violation of Belgian neutrality.
 "The existence of Belgium as buff fer state is indispensable to the peace of the world" wrote Count Okuma in his preface to the volume. The occu- patton of this buffer state today by the | Germans. he declared. was not only in opposition 10 the stiplatiOns of the treaty of 1889 but it is inadmissible from the standpoint of justice and con | trary to the principles for the pTeser- vation of the peace of Europe. To make Belgium what she was before, namely, to make her buffer state on more solid basis. is very necessary not only for the peace of Europe but also for the peace of the whole world. i He added: Resides it is a work of i justice. We cannot help admiring Bel gium where, from the King down to the simplest citizen, all, in this terri ' ble struggle, are fighting with such des peration for the future Of the state and for justice and that at the risk of their lives and with no thought of them selves. We have no doubt whatever that the final voctory will be on the side of justice and that the loyalty will be crowned with success"
 In the conclusion of his volume Count della Faille makes a reference

like a film through her head, Helen
was dashing out of the Office when the
scream of a whistle signal bore down
on her ears. Confused as she was, it
meant nothing to her. A chance, a
hope, had flashed across her mind and
her resolve had been taken-to reach
the passing track switch and side
track the fatal runaway before it
should strike and scatter to destruc-
ton the helpless passenger train.
Rocket, without a thought other
than of alfalfa and undisturbed repose
in his dropping head, stood at hand in
the sunshine. To his amazement his
mistress running to him, h~eadlong,
vaulted upon his back. In her fear,
she cried to him. The horse heard-it
seemed as il he understood. He woke,

of the rein, so quick he almost bolted
from under his mistress, who vas try
ing to seat herself, the brute galloped
with Helen down the main track for
the river bridge.
She painted at great drafts of sun
ny mountain air as Rockets wiry legs
stretched and bounded under her.
With every stride her mind cleared.
With this, her courage mounted. II
was, after all, no more than a smart
dash for her to attain for everyone
safety. The bridge was a difficulty,
but Rocket, who could thread a lava
bed without bruising a fetlock, or
cross a prairie-dog town at full speed
and hold his mistress as steady as if
she were sitting a rocking horse, was
not likely to balk at %galloping over
mere ties-besides, she would give
him his time. At the worst, any
bridge, she said to herself, must be
reached before it can be crossed, and
her eyes were already fixed hard on
the n she must cross, when she
thought she saw the great jack-knife
span ahead moving mysteriously on
its balanced bed. Urging her horse
to his best, centcring all Of her facui-
ties on mastering the ticklish task
ahead, Helcn's eyes set in a stare on
the jack-knife, to determine whether
it was moving or trucking her strain

doubt was resolved; to her consterna-

bottom OF the hill before they reached

The conductor acted quickly. Pick
ing up a lump of coal he scratched q
message on a white signal flag and
wrapped 1t around a wrench. Cedar
Grove station was hardly a mile ahead.
AS the engine dashed past it, the con-
ductor, In the gangway, hurled the
message through the Office window.

wired the tidings instantly to the next
station. That station was Signal.
in the bouncing engine cab there
were grave faces. What are you GO
ing to do?" shouted the engineer.
Without hesitation the conductor
cried: "Cut off the caboose and stop
it-let the train go!" The engineer
agreed: We've only got one life
apiece. No time to lose George!" he
yelled to his fireman, make for the
caboose." .
The fireman, perhaps the youngest
man in the two crews, without answer
ing, continued to hunt for a wrench.
Wake up, George" shouted the con
ductor, come on"
Searching the tool box, the fireman
shook his head. What do you mean?"
demanded the engineer, catching in
excitement at his companions arm,
aren't you coming?"
The fireman did not hurry his an
swer. No. I'll stay here" he said,
turning simply. He was a stubborn,
well-set fellow, really a big, clean
looking boy-with a heavy head of
dark hair pushed under his grimy cap
and a slow, clear eye matching his
deliberate way of speaking.
Stay herei" Numbered the conduc-
tor in surprise. Are you crazy"
He caught the fireman's osscr arm
and with the engineer talked to the
obstinate fellow. The two, who liked
him, pulled the boy toward the tender.

climbing the grade east of a big hill
known IN the division as Blackbird

pump, after baking all morning, had
quit. and the conductor going forward
found the engineer, after repeated eff
forts with the big machine, helpless.

request was curt: Bring in No. las

Stay and be-hanged," shouted the
conductor, with a fiery expletive. Let
him alone, boys" he cried, angrily.
Hes dippy. Comet" And with his
companions hustling close after, he
started over the coal on the tender.
The train had attained a frightful
pace. Already glimpses of its long,
curving roll on the distant hill might
be cen from the window of Signal
station, where the disturbed operator
had taken the message OF the runaway
from Cedar Grove and was reading
it to Helen Holmes, breathless beside
his table:
"AIR BRAKES BROKEN DOWN.
RUNNING AWAY. SIDETRACK NO.
20. NO. 145."
1t was the import of the last SEN
tence which for an instant froze her
senses. Her father! The passenger
train facing that runaway on the sim
gle track below Signal. More than
nee she had heard her father declare
that the stretch between Signal and
the next station, Beaman. must be
double-tracked - only, money was so
hard to get. If the lack of it should
now cost him his life, the lives Of per-
haps half a hundred others!
While she was thinking, the opera
tor was working ~furiously at his key
with a message for Beaman station.
His one hope of avoiding the head-on
collision was to catch the passenger
train beyond Beaman.
STOP NO. 90. RUNAWAY ON
MAIN LINE"
He told Helen, closely watching the
dots and dashes, what he had sent.
Il should have an answer In a minute"
1t came almost at once. Signal sta
ton operator first tried to write it,
then threw down his pen and repeated
its words unsteadily to the frightened
girl.

TWEEN HERE AND THE RIVER"
With wide-open eyes she looked in
tentIy toward the mountains. At the
moment, the rolling hills now hid the
runaway, but the situation was chart
ing itself, like lightning, In her mind.
Between where she stood and where
the passenger train was coming, the
line crossed San Pablo river. q navi-
gable tidewater stream and q water
way that fed a considerable trafic to
the railroad. Her father had put
across the San Pablo q huge jack

river from Signal station he had al
