CALExICO, Calf, Jan. 19.-Just
as soon as the weather permits to-
day, the three army aeroplanes here
to seek Lieutenant Colonel Bishop
and Lieutenant Robertson, missing
army aviators, will fly to Laguna
Prieta, where, it is rumored, = Indians
saw the bodies of two men. The re-
port has aroused great interest at
Camp Beacon, and this will be the
first flight to be made by the avia-
tors here.
This is the first definite report the
officers have received since the two
aviators were last seen January 10.
In case this proves worthless, the
combing of the Sonora desert will
be taken up from Sierra Mayor.
A heavy rain is still falling on
both sides of the border, delaying
the start Of the aviators.
Downpour Of Rain.
CALEXICO, Calf, Jan. 19.-Even
the elements seem to be arrayed
against Lieutenant Colonel Bishop and
Lieutenant Robertson, army aviators,
missing since January 10. The down.
pour of rain for the past twenty-four
hours mas Deen tne heaviest III sever
al years, and instead of showing signs
of abatement, indications today are
favorable to an increased precipfta-
tion.
As a result, the three army aero
planes are held at their base camp,
twenty-eight miles south of the bord-
er, the six aviators impatiently hop
ing to be able to fly late today to in
vestigate report that two bodies
were seen toward Laguna Prieta, and
another report that the two bodies
are under the wrecked aeroplane in
the Sonora desert.
From meagre information received
from automobile parties in Mexico,
searching the territory between Cal
exico and the Gulf OF California, it is
believed not a wheel will be able to
turn today. The horses of Mexican
cavalry and American civilians are
making poor time in the mud and
are useless where clim bing is un-
avoidable.
The stories told by Indians of see
ing the bodies of two men clad only
in underwear lying near a water hole
in the desert, while not accepted as
true, strengthens the fears of many
that the aviators have been killed by
bandits who hoped to realize some
thing upon the aeroplane, valued at
$1,000

in which the missing aeropalne must

Lynn Colbert, IA. son of Mrs. B.. Colbert, of 1918 Poplar street, is iii the Davis hospital with serious wound just behind the left ear, and an ugly gash on the right hand. as the result of an automobile smash up about a quarter Of a mile north of the Country club about 9 o'clock last night.
 The wrecked car was identified as belonging to Dr. w. J. E. Cox, pastor of the First Baptist church, and had been left by it's owner near the First Presbyterian church, where the final session of the state Sunday school convention was being held.
 The police first received news of the accident, and few minutes later the Holderness ambulance was called out.

 Colbert was conveyed to the nos pital in the auto of Dr. J. T. Palmer who, with Dr. w. H. Blankenship, ad ministered to the lads injuries. At a late hour last night the youngster was still under the effects of the anesthetic It was believed his chances for re- covery are good.
 Cclbert's brother informed The Graphic last night that Lynn had made his way home after the acci- dent, telling his mother that he had been asked to go for a ride by two hcys whose names he does enot know He said they were in possession oi the car. Lynn asserted he was rendered unconscious when the acci- dent occurred, and did not see his companions when he regained his senses. ;. Eia

Original St. Sophia.

One of the most interesting of Sa- loniki's famous p churches is St. Sophia. Like it's greater homonym of Constantinople, the National Geo. graphic Magazine observes, it is a domed basilica, and it was long con- sidered to be provincial copy of that great original. As matter of fact, the Saloniki church is the original. having been built a hundred years or more the earlier, at the end of the fourth or the beginning Of the fifth century. The church has suffered dis astrously by fire, earthquake and restoration, but the original lines of the structure remain, as well as the pillars and beautiful capitals of wind- blown acanthus, and two fine frag- ments of mosaic. The principal mosa- ic, an Ascension, with decorative green trees between the standing figures, lines the great dome. It is supposed to date from 645. though the figure of Christ in the center is older still.

Freight Congestion: lis Cause and Cure

truck, towns perhaps located on the only railroad coming into their part ot the state. Possibly the dealers and shippers in such towns cannot make any time or money by motor trucking to distant points, though shipper who is wise and foxy will not be sat- isfied with waiting until there are empties on the siding in his town. not if he can find them on sldlngs within trucking distance. This is not time to let few miles or even half days truck trip stand in the way of getting out or in shipment of goods. ,,
 Thousands of towns, large and small are within trucking distance of some other railroad or railroads than the one coming to the town. Why allow your town to be held up for supplies and made to undergo sugar or DO. tato famine or some other kind of famine or shortage just because the railroad coming in there has no freight cars available? Ship to the nearest point to which shipment can be made, even if it is a hundred miles away. Ship by water as the season opens and how many towns, whose railroads are pretty near helpless, can get to tidewater or some navigable water with trucks? Thousands of them. The reason the merchants, the coal and feed dealers and the shippers ot produce in your section are not motor trucking now to keep freight moving in spite of car shortage is because they do not think of 1t; they do not realize the possibilities of the situa- tion. There is more than one way of getting the stuff in and out of ev- cry town, and the motor truck Is the most accessible.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1917-04-27

For months the greatest obstacle to the fullest realization of the benefits from our present prosperity has been the importance of the railroads.
 Thro no fault of their own--for they were adequately equipped to meet what were formally normal demands they have been found utterly incap- able of furnishing the unprecedented call for freight transportation. In consequence, manufacturers have been sorely hampered both in getting their raw materials and in delivering their finished product. Attempts to in crease the service to them has reduced the railroads carrying capacity for food supplies and other necessities of life most seriously. Aggravating the whole sorry plight has has been the tie-up of freight cars due to the crip- pied facilities fer shipping abroad. Thus everyone with anything to sell has lacked adequate means to get his goods to market. Finally, every last individual, for we are all consumers, has felt the effect in the increased cost of living.
 The one real relief to what would have been far worse condition of af- fairs has been the motor truck-all honor it! Without our commercial
 cars, it is hard to imagine what might have been. Certain it is that not only our pocketbooks, but our actual phys
 ical comfort and welfare, would have suffered.
 They say we are short something like 10000 freight cars. Well, are we not long more than that number, several times, of motor trucks? There are towns that cannot possibly
