EX-GERMAN AVIATOR
NOW A MISSIONARY
Former War Pilot, Catholic Worker
in U. S., Planning Campaign
in Pagan Lands.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, october 15.-A German
war pilot who has become a Catholic
missionary arrived aboard the liner
Deutschland yesterday and announced
plans for an expedition to bring Chris
tianity to pagan lands of Africa. He
said the two living members of the
crew of the Bremen, the first airplane
to fly the Atlantic East to West, were
associated with him in the enterprise.
The missionary is the Rev. Paul
Schultz Of the Oblate Brotherhood of
Cologne. He came to this country to
seek help Of Catholics in America for
an expedition which, he said, would
take him and Capt. Herman Koehl and
Col. James Fftzmaurice, pilots of the
Bremen, to Amboland in Southwestern
Africa.
Amboland remains as one of the least
known places on the globe, Father
Schultz said, adding that the natives
have never heard of Christianity and
their state is one of complete paganism.
If the necessary funds are raised, the
missionary said he hoped to set out
with Koehl and Fitzmaurice in Janu-
arv of 1881. Koehl and Fitzmaurice
and the late Baron Gunther Won Huen-
field became known as the three mus
keteerS of the air after their fight from
Ireland to Labradour in March of last
year.

has been IN the big picture many years. He has
been disbarred from che practice Of law in Colorado
ny the state supreme court for accepting money from
e prominent New York and Denver society matron
1or legal services while he was on the bench.
He admits his acceptance Of s37,50O from the lady
VINO was a litgant IN a famous case but his defense
was and is that he acted merely as arbitrator and
mediator and his practices" had not been unethical.
After disbarment Judge Lindsey issued a statement
calling the action Of the state supreme court political
prosecution.
He has been admitted to the practice OF law IN the
state Of California. There he will make his home.
For a quarter Of q century he triumphed over his
political and personal enemies In Colorado and was
known the civilized world over as the welfare Judge
who protected the boys and girls within his juris-
diction who needed protection.
He met his Waterloo one day. He was defeated for
reelection His enemies had ~triumphed. They ac-
cused him Of the acceptance Of money from a litigant
while he was a Judge on the bench. II was a large
sum-, He said 1t was a gift. NOW the supreme court
OF Colorado has branded the acceptance as unethical
and tossed the Judge into the fiery furnace construct
ed for him by his political and personal enemies.

Haiti And Its Problems

Presidents Of seven political organizations In Haiti
have ~petitiOned the government Of the United States
to supervise the presidential election to take place
next April in this island.
American marines invaded Haiti In 1915. They
have been there ever since. They have maintained
peace and the protection Of life and property at the
muzzle Of the rifle.
They have prevented the islanders from revert
ing to barbarism. Haiti IS close to American shores.
Its people need the s~heltering arm or q powerful
nation.
Why should the critics growl?
They do not live in Haiti. They do not represent

They are getting it.
