United States marines were content

Now they have added the air to their
provinces-and the everlasting luck of
the marines holds good, even in the
clouds.
The other day a fighting Yankee
flyer Of the marine corps, First Lieut..
Edwin c. Chamberlain of Texas, went
visiting British flying squadron on
the Marine.
On the first morning Of his arrival
Lieutenant Chamberlain borrowed a
plane and shot down one German in
flames and forced another to descend
SO British flyer could get him.
On the next day he went as an es-
cort for party Of French bombers
over the Marine. On the way back he
got into fight, had engine trouble,
and one of his guns jammed While
flying low he saw two of his comrades
attacked by II Germans. He dove
into the miXup and shot down four
enemy planes. His engine stopped
again, but while gliding low he emp
tied his gun into German infantrymen.
He was forced to land in No Mans
Land. Leaving his machine, he ran
unarmed into Hun patrol Of three
men. Swinging his compass as If it
was a grenade, he captured one Ger
man. Then he picked up a wounded
colonel, forded a stream, and made his
way back to the French line.
