 The train had attained a frightful pace. Already glimpses of its long, curving roll on the distant hill might 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."
 It 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 sin gle track below Signal. More than once 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 othersi
 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.

 He told Helen, closely watching the dots and dashes, what he had sent. "I should have an answer in a minute"
 It came almost at once. Signal sta tion operator first tried to write it, thenfthrew down his pen and repeated its words unsteadily to the frightened girl.
 "NO. 20 LEFT ON TIME. BE TWEEN HERE AND THE RIVER"
 With wide-open eyes she looked in. tently toward the mountains. At the 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, navi- gable tidewater stream and water way that fed a considerable traffic to the railroad Her father had put across the San Pablo huge jack knife drawbridge-the best an hon. est engineer and an honest railroad could build. Just over the river from Signal station he had al ready put in, as a start towards dou- long passing track.

MASS ATTACK RESORTED
TO in DESPERATE BATTLE
By the Sun News Service }

d
Paris, June 2-FoIIowIng up their sue
cess in the CaiIlette wood yesterday aft
ernoon, the Germans launched a powerful
attack this morning on the sector to the
east, extending from the Vaux Pond, I'M
mediately west Of the village of vaux, to
the village of Damloup, to the southeast
at the foot OF the heights Of the Meuse.
The center OF this line is in front Of
Fort Vaux. which was the objective of
the German assaults. The Germans sue.
ceeded in occupying part of the village
OF Damloup. but were not able to gain
a foothold on the heights above. Even at
Damloup, the scene of the only German
success, the greater part of the village
remains in French hands.
The mass attack, which has been used
by the Germans throughout the recent re-
newal Of the Verdun offensive, as 1t was
used in the earlier days of the campaign
for Verdun. was brought into play again
on the Vaux front with corresponding
loss to the attacking troops.
As the waves surged up the heights to
the fort and fell back again, torn to pieces
by the French fire, masses of re-enforee-
ments moved forward from Dieppe, behind
the German lines to the northeast, and
came under the fire OF the French heavy
batteries. Under this fire the supporting
troops broke and fed back to Dieppe.

Serious offensive operations by Zapatis-

ported to the State Department yester-
day in official advices, are expected to
have a SOLDERING effect on the belligerent
attitude assumed by Gen. Carranza in
his note to the United States.
Taking advantage OF the action Of the
de facto government In moving large
numbers OF troops northward toward the
border, Zapata, according to the reports,
has launched an active campaign, which
may threaten Mexico City itself. It is
expected that as a result OF this Car
rama will have to draw heavily on his
troops in the north.
Had Pact with villa.
The chief significance at the present
time Of the zapatista activities lies in
the fact, disclosed by the capture Of GER
tain correspondence OF Villas after the
Columbus raid, that Villa had an ar
rangement with the Morelos bandit chief
tain whereby eventually the Zapatistas
and Villistas would effect a combination
in a supreme effort to overthrow the
Carranza government
For weeks the whereabouts Of Villa
and the remnants of his followers has
been mystery, and 1t is regarded as
not beyond the bounds OF possibility that
If he is still living he may either have
Joined Zapata, or have gotten close
enough to be in communication with him.
About week ago the Mexican Embassy
here gave out q statement saying that
Zapata had instructed his followers to
cease their attacks on Carranzista troops
and to confne their operations to the
wrecking Of all trains carrying Ameri-
cans and other foreigners. Judging from

with favor upon ex-senator Theodore

The next two days will be devoted by
