BY FRAZIER HUNT:


American Naval Aviation Camp on
the French Time<was when the
United States marines were content
to be the soldiers of the land and sea.
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 fighting Yankee
flyer of the marine corps, First Lieut..
Edwin c. Chamberlain of Texas, went
visiting a 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, damned. While.
flying low he saw two of his comrades
attacked by - 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 a Hun patrol of three
men. Swinging his compass as if it
was q grenade, he captured one Ger
man. Then he picked up wounded
colonel, forded stream, and made his
way back to the French line.

got together.
"a few miles farther on the Hun
came at us in four formations of ten
each, this time outnumbering us nearly
two to one. We had an awful dog
fight, and lost two bOmbers and four
fighters. I got several bullets in my
plane, one Of which partly disabled my
engine and made it die every few min
utes and then run fine for a spell. One
gun also jammed.
''Two other fighters and myself and
one French bomber found ourselves
separated from the rest, and started
home together. l kept losing altitude
