Georgia avenue northwest. yesterday
afternoon, Myer Fellheimer, secre-
tary-treasurer of the Hub Furniture
Company, was killed by lightning.
His caddy, Alfred Haley, fourteen
years old, of 52S Jefferson street
northwest was stunned, but not Sc
verely injured. Mr.. Fellheimer was
placed in an automobile and taken 10
Walter Reed Hospital, but he was
dead on arriving there.
According to the police, Mr.. Fell
heimer was on the. links when the
storm began to gather and was en-
deavoring to finish his game before
the downpour.
Mrs Fellheimer, who was formerly
Miss Fedora Jonas of Nashville, Tenn,
was prostrated with grief last night
at the home of her sister, Mrs. Joseph
Kaufman. 1921 Tilden street north
west
Mr.. Fellheimer was forty years old
and native of Hagerstown. Nd. He
came to Washington about fifteen
years ago and since that time had
been connected with the furniture

Cambrai and the ground on either

with the bodies of Germans who
dashed against the British in useless
attempts to drive them from the po-

About the same time the Germans
were being beaten here, the Cana

to be still in progress between the

Tex, a graduate of Princeton and the
University of Texas and an aviator at
tached to the United States Marine
Corps. has received simultaneous recon-
mendations for the Victoria cross and
the congressional medal of honor for an
exploit in which he figured on July 2s.
On that day, over the British front,
Lieut.. Chamberlain took part in an
aerial battle with twelve German ma
chimes. He destroyed five of them.
damaged two others and sweeping
earthward with a damaged plane scat
tered a detachment of German soldiers.
After landing he bluffed three others
into believing his compass was bomb
and captured one of them. He then
carried a wounded French officer back
to safety and finally refused to give his
rame to the British officer in command
of aerial forces in that section of the
front, because of his fear of being repri-
manded.
The story, which is one Of the most
war, also has been cabfed to America
by the London office of the committee
on public informa ton.
Downs Two for Practice.
Lieut.. Chamberlain appeared at a
British aviHtion camp on July q and in

The British commander was in need
of aviators and, as there was a bomb

Saves English Fliers' Lives.
His two companions were now en-
tagged in life and death struggle
and Lieut.. Chamberlain went to their
assistance. His action probably saved
the lives. of the two Englishmen. =.
HIS engine was now working better.
He climbed up toward the enemy and.
with a burst of fire. sent one of them
crashing to the earth. A second was
shattered with another volley from
his machine gun. Then Lieut.. Cham
beflain 1ooped out of Gordon of
enemy machines which had gathered
i to finish him and, as he sailed away,
he shot tho wing Off another German
machine.
Hun Leader Also Downed.

The lieutenant then turned for the
British lines. His engine had gone
carefully picking his way through: the
smoke clouds of shells fired at him
By. the enemy's anti-aircraft cannon.
AS he made wide sweep coward

column of German troops. and into it
he poured gust of machine gun bull
lets from the gun, which had been
jammed. but which he had succeeded
in putting into action again. The Ger
mans scattered, and Lieut. Chamber
/ lain flew on for an eighth Of mile and
, came to earth.
Threatens With Compass.
He found that he could not carry off
the equipment of his machine. SO he
took his compass and started running
across the fields. AS he did so he en-
countered n patrol of three Germans
waving compass above his head like
a bomb. Two of the enemy ran, but
the third surrendered.
The American started again for the
British lines. but came upon wounded
French officer, whom he picked up and
|, carried. driving his prisoner before him.
He waded brook under heavy fire and
finally arrived within the British lines
in safety with the French officer and
the German prisoner.
He then reported Ready for duty
asked the major in command of the
British airmen not to make any report
Of the affair and refused to give his
name. The major was unable to keep
the affair quiet, and the full details
were made a part of his official report
Of the days fighting.

born June IA. 1891, at San Antonio.

and the University Of Texas. During
the period when American troops were
grouped along the Mexican border he
