STATE LAWYERS
END CONVENTION
RESOLUTION INTRODUCED AT
CLOSING SESSION N. c. BAR
ASSN. CAUSES DEBATE.
RESOLUTION IS WITHDRAWN
After a Heated and Prolonged Discus
sion BY Several Members the Res
oIution Was Withdrawn.

Wilmington.-Introd of q res
olution looking toward the naming OF
committee to determine the advis
ability of another judge for the West
ern Carolina District of the Federal
Court (Which, however, was with
drawn following heated discussion, it's
oppOn ats branding it as a direct at
tack on Judge Boyd), and the election
of officers were the outstanding fea-
lures of the concluding session of the
twentieth annual convention of the
North Carolina Bar Association.
The conventions only scrap was the
McRae resolution urging the appoint
ment of three association members to
investigate and determine if there was
reasonable necessity for a new Fed
eral Judge in the western Carolina
district, the committee to report it's
findings to the Judiciary Committee
of the National House of Representa-
tives McRae said the bill providing
for the new judge had already passed
the Senate and was now before the
House committee, and that Chairman
Webb had recently stated that the
committee desired more information
concerning the needs of the district
G. S. Bradshaw, Greensboro, opposed
the measure bitterly, declaring it in
advisable. Col. Harry Skinner was
opposed to the Association taking
action of this nature, declaring that
there was an intimation between the
lines that Judge Boyd was incompet-
ent, and that the resolution was re-
Election on Boyd. T. B. Finley
thoughtthe move smacked Of politics,
and registered his opposition.
McRae spoke warmly in favor of the
resolution expressing the highest re-
gard for Judge Boyd, at the same
time contending that If a judge was
needed in the Western district one
should be appointed. Following ad-
ditional speeches McRae probably saw
that his resolution was doomed and
withdrew it.

Kruuer as Solomon.

That very canny person, President
Kruger, was once called upon, as King
Solomon before him, to pass judgment
in a matter of ownership. The case was
that Of two brothers, who had been left
a farm and could not agree as to the
agreed that, rather than take the mat
ter to the courts, they would let Presi-
dent Kruger decide. President Kruger
appears to have hesitated about lit
tie as King Solomon did. He instructed
the elder brother to make what he con-
sidered a fair division, and then he
gave first choice to the younger broth
er. A solution like Solomon's, both
mastery and simple.

CHAPTER v.

Not far from Sommepy, the French
rear guard stopped again. Four bat
feries of our artillery were brought
into position and our company, along
with machine guns, were ordered to
protect the artillery. The artillery of
fcerS did not think this sufficient pro-
lection because the airpanes had dis
covered the presence of strong French
cavalry attachments and cavalry at
tack was suspected. However, q
stronger guard could not be provided
and there was nothing to be done but
take our position and make the best
of the situation. We dug ourselves in
TO the right and left of the batteries,
I'm a field of small pine trees. The ma
chine guns were set up and supplied
with ammunition. We were then given
instructions as to what to do in the
event of a cavalry attack. An old
major of infantry, with white hair,
took command. Our unit was placed
with the infantry, but our "brave" Of
6cers disappeared suddenly. To them
the defense of the fatherland was the
business Of a private. Since we had
been assigned to assist infantry, our
officers considered themselves super
duOuS and took French leave.
Our instructions were as follows: In
the event of a cavalry attack, every
thing must be quiet. The gun must
be pointed but hidden. The machine
gun must not be fred until the major
In command gives the order. Then
there must be lively, quick fire. Our
batteries fired violently at a biplane
flying high over them which gave sig
mails with star shells which were read
only by the observer.
This state of affairs affects only
pioneer officers who, when their
units are attached to infantry or chas-

our officers during my whole war ca

the gunf1re in comfortable security.
This is also the case with many in
fantry captains and almost all higher
officers. Majors, colonies, ETC., never
take part in a stOrming attack, was
told. and several times / observed this
myself.
But the expected attack did not
come, the enemy's infantry was not to
be seen. We prepared to resume our
march and were all ready to move
when the order came to bivouac The
spot where we were to rest was as
usual fixed by the staff so that they
knew where to find us at any time.
Hardly had we reached the place when
our field kitchen, which we supposed
had been lost, appeared as if it had
come out of the ground. Those in
charge of the field kitchen had re-
ceived no knowledge of our losses of
the last few days and had cooked for
the old number. They were greatly
surprised on seeing instead of a brave
company of strong pioneers" a lot
Of ragged, exhausted, crushed human
shadows. Wa were given SCUM, breac
