(By taail to New York.) 1 stood out on .the I flying- field at dusic this evening with a- score of- General : French's young flying- men and "saw the chickens come .home to roost." Of all the tenie hours on the fly ing grounds, the one hour of twilight and dusk, before nightfall, is the hour that tugfe hardest at the nerves of the British flyinar men. Wherever a fly ing- man may be, you will see a cer tain nervousness and distraction come over him at su'nset. boon he -will stir, himself and whether he walks along the French roads to where his flying grounds are situated, or t whether he is lucky enough to- get a .lift In a passing au tomobile, you will find him, some time before darkness begins to fall, on flis own "particular flying Held. He is -waiting fou the chickens to come home to roost," as he calls It. walked out of the town earTy this evening wltlr two flying men. - Zook for Pals Far Above. :I've got a couple of pals who have been up In the sky all the afternoon." explained one of the flyers. "I want to see whether they have come In or not." ' "Yes," Assented the other. "There re four fellows from my mess who went out this afternoon and you rather want to know if they are iu before dark, you know." When we got to the field wo found thirty or more of the young, lithe Britishers who make up General French's flying squad at this particu lar place. They, stood about in knots. chatting, cutting nervously at the grans with their canes,, or sitting in the lee of the. hangars to protect them selves from the cold. 50-mile-an-hour wind. I noticed that with all their seeming Idleness and preoccupation, their sharp trained glances were rak ing the evening skies. Come Sown One By One. "There's I think." said one young fellow. X followed his kaze and saw a dot In the ky no larger thun the head of a pin. . "No, I . think that's ." safrt nn- other youth. "Right you are."' said the first one. "I was mistaken." How he knew he was mistaken I couldn't understand. Neither could the flying men explain to nie haw they had developed the abil ity to distinguish one aeroplane from inotner. ihey have slmnlv rievclnnni it, that's all. The tpot grew biKsrer. suddenlv th machine tilted and spiraled down diz Hy. Within a minute or two it had alighted and two heavily furred young Britisher's climbed from it. ; -, One after another the spots appeared In the sky, were fecognlzed, the pilots climbed out and came over to Join our group. j , "Who Isn't in yetTf was always the question they asked. Safe themselves from the batUellne, where the deadly shrapnel had ben breaking about them, they were curious and anxious as we for the safe return of the other chaps. Worry Over Hew flyer. "At last they were all in but one. Night was almost upon us. A man In an aeroplane must see the. grass when he alights: there's a clever little throw of the lever which he must give at the last moment that will bring him to earth lightly instead of in a smash. "He's a young fellow and a new flyer," explained an officer to me. "And I'm rather worried about him. Better get. out the flares." he said to an attendant. The flares are white lights that are placed about the field when a flyer is out at night; by them he can trace his way through the night successful ly to his own flying field ani with difficulty can measure his low height from the ground at the last ticklish moment before landing. Suppose the flyer didn't come back. Where might he be? This wasn't any ordinary peace time flying meet; this was war time. He might be a wreck of broken bones and bleeding flesh; men had been trying to kill him all afternoon; they had been shooting at him iike hunters shooting at a bird. They had hunted In packs; If he had goffe near the trenches it was certain that a thousand German rifles had potted him; he might be a prisoner in the German lines, for If his engine had 'stopped at the wrong time he had been forced to come down. We were waiting for a man wh might be dead. There were the sol diers setting out the flares and get ting ready to light them. No one was speaking now. "That's him." said an officer. "Yes," answered three or four of the young men at once. "Where?" I asked. "Can't see him yet, but that's his propeller," explained one of my friends. - Their trained ears had caught the hum. Of his aeroplane engine. Soon he came into view. It was almost lark and the aeroplane loomed large when I caught the first glimpse of it.- It settled down on the field, the two young fellows piled out of it clumsily on account of their many clothes and walked over to us. "Who isn't in?" asked one of them. "Everybody is here." said the cap tain. "Good!" said the young fellow for whom we nil had been waiting- Then we aril dispersed. Every "chicken" had come-' home to "roofct." Kills Herself in rLuxuridus Suite Mrs. Adeltf Talxchild of San Francisco Swallows Poison in Los Aageles Hotel following Big Damage Suit.

August Belmont Head of Fed eration -to Establish Na tional Reserve, New York, May 28. (L N. S.) The Aero Military Service Federation of America, a voluntary organization of which August Belmont is president general and Mortimer Delano deputy president-general, 'has announced the; proposed formation of a national re serve of aviation volunteers for use in case of war. The program outlined by Mr. Delano contemplated the es tablishment of district bases in New York, Richmond, Chicago, St. Louis and San ; Francisco, with 28 aero squadron centers and 1500 landing sta tions scattered from coast to coast. Mr. Delano explained that under the federal law at present there is no au thorization for the formation of an aviation regiment, and that therefore his organization is a provisional body. He says efforts will be made to have the next congress favor the first avi ation corps, the formation of which is the ultimate purpose of the aero military federation. The federation also planned a propaganda to urge upon congress ' federal control of all aviation. The' prospectus of the organization says Its purposes are, patriotic and educational. The aviation corps is di vided Into three classes aviators, of ficers of the United States army and navy, and civilians who are unable to serve In an aviation corps Mr. Delano said that about 50 per cent of the squadron branches had been formed and were busy recruiting. He expects a membership of 2G,0d0 in three months. When this is i reached he plans to establish hundreds of land ing stations to make aviation safer and easier in all pans of the (country. Mr. Delano said the federation is be ing supported by voluntary contribu tions. President Is Indisposed. Washington, May 28. (I. N.
