MISSION WORKER
HAS ADVENTURE
Chester Rape Well Known
Here Writes Details of
Chinese Plot He Helped
Suppress.

Chester b. Rape, brother of Miss
Edna Rape, who was for three years
primary teacher In the local schools,
and who went from here to pocatello
two years ago, recently had an inter
esting adventure in China. Mr..
Rape is a missionary In that country,
and is well known to many people
here, having visited and leetured
here several times.
The story of his adventure il sent
out by the publicity department of
the joint centenary committee OF the
M. e. Church, and is In part quota
tion from a letter from Mr.. Rape.
The American gunboat, Palos
which patrols the Yangtse river to
safeguard the lives Of American citi-
zens was hit eleven times by rebel
troops in China not long ago, A
letter telling of the incident has
recently been received from Chester
B. Rape a citizen of Evanston, Illinois
now engaged In larger work under
the Centenary Program OF the Metho-
dist Episcopal church.
The firing on the Palos occurred
after battle between central gov
ernment troops and rebels In which
the rebels were victorious AS the
defeated troops beat a hasty retreat
down the river they Communicated
all the boats In sight.
I'VE were on our way up the
Yangste river" writes Mr. Rape,
accompanied by feet OF over
eighty boats, including an escort of
American and British gunboats.
One night we anchored within hear
ing distance of the fighting. At
day break the captain OF my boat
came to me in great excitement and
told me that soldiers were impressing
our boatmen into service and i'm
plored me to stop them. | cast aside
all thoughts of modesty or personal
health 1t was a cold morning but
the critical situation demanded ac-
tion. So clad only In q union suit
and slippers jumped ashore as some
soldiers, in boats manned by our men
were ready to push them out into the
current told fifty of the men to
go back to our feet. They hesitated
for a few moments, knowing the sol
diers were armed and not in a good
humor. Then pointed to the Ameri-
can flag floating over our boats and
told the soldiers that by treaty agree
ment we could not be interferred
with Reluctantly they allowed our
men to go"
Thousands Of government troops
were seen the following day, retreat
ing in more or less disorder along the
river banks. Shots whizzed overhead
and shrapnel fell around them, but
no loss of life occurred The entire
trip took thirty-three days, and only
covered the distance an American
express train could cover in one day.
At the end of the journey Mr.. Rape
found missionary hospitals filled with
wounded soldiers, roads unsafe for
travel, mails weeks behind schedule,
and trade. in an unsettled condition.
Strange to say Mr.. Rape continues
''the church is recognized as the
safest place in the land and when
there is lghting in the city thou
sands pack the church, bringing their
valuables with them.

PAVE RIVER MAY CAUSE DISASTER
 TO AUSIRlANS
Swollen Stream Prevents Invaders From Making Way Against Italians

Italian Headquarters in Northern Italy, June 21.-Fresh rains have turn ed the Piave river into swirIing yellow flood which moves silently but swiftly dealing fateful blow to the Austrians on it's western bank, tearing up he communication lines and pre- Aenting succor being given the shat tered divisions struggling under steady pounding of Italian guns of the Duke of Costa's third army
 The satisfaction of the Italians over the situation is matched only by the anger of the Austrian command. Ac- cording to prisoners the swollen river has been the continuation of series of difficulties which prevented the Austrians from making headway eith- CT on the Montello plateau or that section of the country lying between the Treviso-Mestre and the San Donna di Piave-Mestre railway line, where the fighting has been hard and cruel all the week, with the Austrians sore ly pressed at every point and harassed on both sides of the river by the Ital- ian small guns and also huge pieces belonging to the navy mounted on floats which move amout the water. way at will.

Bulgars Paper Shows Desire
 to Quit War
Shows That U. S. Friend. ship Worth More Now
 Than Teuton Alliance

Paris, June According to La Liberte's Geneva correspondent quot ing dispatches received from Sofia Bulgaria, the Journal Mir, of May 27, was suppressed by military authorities because of sensational article which was inspired by the strength of the American army in the war. The arr ticle said in part:
 We have enough of war in our country which has not ceased for three years to pay with its blood and all it's resources, political as we'll as military. Situations have completely changed and they will cause radical modification in the international sit uation."
 The newspaper added that the alli- ence with the central powers was not profitable to Bulgaria except in case of certain victory. Whereas the Bul. garians today must look at another perspective. The Americans were re- ferred to but not named in the final paragraph of the article which fol. lows:
 Equilibrium depends upon the new factors which have entered the strug- gle, and this chang ein the situation is of permanent importance for small peoples. above all for the Balkan pop ulatiOn."

Wholesale
 Sugar Price
 IS Increased
sinkings by U-Boat Re- sponsible-Retailers Price
 Will Not Rise.

New York, June 21-Activities of German submarines in ocean lanes traversed by sugar-laden ships be tween Cuba and United States ports have so increased insurance that the International Sugar committee an nouncec an increase in the price of imported raw sugar here today.
 "Effective at the opening of busi- ness June 24," said the announcement tc the trade, "the basic price upon which refiners' selling market must be based will be 6.05c per pound de- livered duty paid for 96 centrifugal sugar, New York"
 Members of the commission said the increase was too small to be felt by the consumer, and there was no reason to expect an advance in the retail price. About 15,000 tons of sugar have gone down in ships sunk by the German submarines,s which brought about the increase in marine insu rance. Only Cuban sugar is affected

AIRShIP LANDING STATION FUND
 REACHES 5000
City Still $400 Short of $1,0OO Needed to Pro-
 vide and Prepare Site

Approximately $500 has been rais- ed for the aviation station by com mittees of the Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary clubs, Approximately $400 more is needed. If Pine Bluff is to have army flyers from Eherts field, near Lonoke, come to Pine Bluff on their cross-country flights.
 One of the committees has not can because Of the illness of Minor Wood- ward. The other member of this committee. which has Second avenue and Barraque as it's territory, is Geo. w. List. Committees which have been at work are composed of Leo M. Andrews, Frank F'raney, T. F. Gadber- ny, Charles B. Leverenz, R. Ray Me Intyre and T. Haynes Gregory.
 The seeming reluctance of the peo- pie to contribute to this fund has been contrasted with the great inter- est displayed by thousands upon ev- cry occasion the airmen have visited Pine Bluff. It Was suggested that if each person who seemed so interested in the flights would give $1 the fund would be oversubscribed several times. Among voluntary subscrip- tions sent The Graphic yesterday was one of $1 from Miss Mamie Bilser and another of 50 cents from Morris En- renberg.
 That Pine Bluff must make good" on this aviation station or stand in disrepute with the officials at Wash ington is demonstrated by an incident that took place at the aviation field this week, when Pine Bluff business man suggested to Major Frissell that Pine Bluff would be glad to get an avi- ation field if another is to be estab- lished Major F'rissell intimated that Pine Bluff could hardly be expected to successfully bid for an aviation field since it had thus far failed to pro vide for 9 landing station, which had been offered. Major Frissell's attitude is the one that every official may nat urally be expected to assume should Pine Bluff ask for some government institution without having provided for the aviation station.
 The fund for the station must be completed within 9 few days or notice will be sent that Pine Bluff has failed to make good"

 ARE UNDER FIRE

With the American Army in France, June 21.-(By the Associated Press.)
 The Misses Emma s. and Katherine E. Lansing, sisters of Secretry of State Lansing, who have been mem bers of the Red Cross in France since last September, have had a thrilling experience, and learned the horrors of modern warfare first-hand.
 Recently when German airmen bombarded a village near the front where the Misses Lansing conducted a canteen, they were forced, with many other persons, virtually to live in a champagne cellar until they could close the canteen and leave the village. The Germans had advanced in that sector and subjected the will lage to almost incessant bombing, so that it was not easy to leave the place in a minute.
