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 Schulte 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 Fitzmaurice, pilots of the Bremen, to Amboland in Southwestern Africa. Amboland remains as one of the least known places on the globe, Father Schulte 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- ary of 1931. Kochi and Fitzmaurice and the late Baron Gunther von Huen- feld became known as the three mus- keteers of the air after their flight from Ireland to Labradour in March of last year. ——— Train Makes Eecord Eun.
