SHEPHERD, United press Staff Correspondent (Copyright by the United Press.) (Copyright in Great Britain.) Headquarters of the British Army. Northern France, May 15. . , (By Mail to New York, . It's after ''roosting hour" at night, when everybody is down out of the death-filled sky, that you can get the English flying men to do what little talking there is in them. Dinner is the time for chatting with them. I sat down at a small table full of them this 'evening. They were all young fellows, and I felt as if I were dining in a Harvard or a Yale mess hall, except that our eating place was a room in a little French farm house. come out of England's best homes. They were all English school men, come out of England's best homes. One of them I had known r in Texas some years ago, when Orozeo," the re bel general, had employed him to fly for the rebel army; others had all learned flying since the war began. "I suppose," I said to one young man, Hhere are times whe n you wait i and wait at roosting time and the fel low does not come back." "Oh, yes," he said. "That does happen. But we dont. ever give up hope. See that fellow over there," he said, indicat ing a young man down the' - table. "Well, one night he didn't come back, We put the flares out and waited and waited, but thee was not a sign'of him., . We gay4unrup for good. -.

He had come down In the German line and when he alighted no one was around. He ran away from the place and went into a French "cottage. ; He can talk French like a native and the good French people helped him out with a suit of old clothes. He had no money, but he has got a bank account in Lon don. So he went to a French store keeper to whom he had been recom mended by his French cottage folks, and the storekeeper cashed a check for him.

N. J. Rouse of Kinston, of counsel for Solicitor Charles L. Ab- ernethy in the Carter-Abernethy af fair, Thursday afternoon filed a mo tion in writing before Judge George W. Connor in Craven county Supe rior Court at New Bern for the ex punction of the records of the court held to be inimical to the character of the Solicitor. The motion was bas ed upon the contention that Judge Carter, after the unpleasantry with Mr. Abernethy in the.court, had left tne matter open to judge Uonnor whose term he was filling in the ab sence of the latter in a Baltimore J hospital, for final adjudication. Mr. Rouse's motion involving the order of contempt was followed by argument by the Kinston attorney, which Judge Connor heard with cour tesy. The case Was reviewed from the beginning. At the conclusion Of argument the judge stated that in his opinion there was nothing in Solicitor Abernethy's action in connection with the case of James Baugham, the continuance of which had been advocated by the State and called forth remarks from Judge Carter, who referred to an al leged difference of treatment of the wealthy and the poor by North Caro Una jurists and juries, that reflected the slightest upon the . prosecutor's character. His Honor also took an entirely different view of the minis tering of justice in the Common wealth from Judge Carter.' It will be remembered that Baugham, a wealthy youth, while driving an au tomobile ran down an aged couple in a buggy, which may have had some thing to do with the death of one of them afterwards. Baugham's case was thrown out of Craven court at the present term. . When Judge Car ter had made the State's reason for agreeing to a continuance, the Court ordered him to hie seat, and upon Ab ernethy insisting upon making his po sition, held him in contempt and fin ed him. Judge Connor agreed immediately to expunging the records subsequent to Monday of the week in which the contempt matter came up. Following that day entries were twice made, it is said, by the judge during the week. His Honor was not satisfied, however, that he had the power, no matter what his inclination might be, to wipe off the contempt order proper. Ho took that phase under advisement to give it thorough study, tand rendered a decision as soon as he could deter mine his authority in the premises. It is confidently expected in New Bern that Judge Connor will decide upon expunging the records in full. VETERANS MARCH .
