Bishop and Mrs. Stuntz to Start This Week
on Their Mission to Both China and India
f
Bidop Hornet 'C&utdz
By J. D. KUYKENDALL.
A good many ears ,aRo the writer
hereof met Homer C. Stuntz in Cali
fornia. Three weeks ago he met him
again, but the bishop as he is now, did
not look the same as In the former
cay. ,
Three weeks of puzzling over the
problem his brought out the fact that
it is not any added dignity which his
responsible posi! n as over-pastor of
more than a quarter of a million
Methodists, in Omaha a'ea has given
him which has made the change, but
because sometime in the past he has
discarded the 'neat and natty Van
Dyke beard which used to adorn his
chin.
The previous existence of this
beard s probably a deep, dark, dank
secret which the good bishop would
desire unpublished, but when one
starts to sketch the career of a man
who has attained some degree of em
inence it is necessary to probe deeply
into just such tender memories.
There is no getting away from it.
He used to have that beard, and it
gave him a fierce, Castilian look, quite
in contrast to the genial, smiling ex
pression which is -so welTTtnown to
everyone in Omaha.
A Dreamer Back of the Beard.
'This story starts, however, a long
time before the beard arrived. It dates
back to nearly a half rentury ago
when a small boy, he used to cjimb the
tallest trees on the highest hill on
his father's homestead in the corner
of Pennsylvania which touches the
lake, and used to gaze cut over the
water, and dream of other lakes in far
away lands which he hoped some day
to. see, and of strange peoples whose
lives he would some day touclvhelp
Ifully, -How that dream canie true is
part of this sketch.
The lad, whose father was a sur
veyor and farmer, passed through
the tirade schools, and the local acad
emy at his home town of Albion, and
then attended the date normal, ne
did not expect to make teaching his
life work, but he thought it might be
a stepping stone to the attainment
of what at that time came to be the
ambition of his young manhood, to be
a lawyer. ,
Educated in Lawr and Theology.
Young Stuntz spenthis spare time
in the study of law. In 1879 he moved
to Iowa, teaching and studying law.
He was never admitted to practice,
but a kindly judge allowed him to

ure Rose Sydell's famous ' London
Belles in VWhoop-DeeiDoo," at the
Gayety theater this week. It is a
show that is equally attractive to men
and women and furnishes many a
laugh to temporarily drive away the
sadness caused by "the war, v
The feature of the entertainment is
a massive spectlcle. "Our Allies," as
the closing scene of the .show. The
finale is staged in three scenes as a
beautiful, spectacular, patriotic scene.
Starting with the "little red school
house." in the opening scene, it takes
one through the ."country store and
postoffice," and ends in the beautiful
"Camp Allspice."
"The House of Cajds," a reproduc

reproductions in life of the statuary
Contained therein makes one of the
many beautiful scenes. The chorus is
exceptionally well selected.
The "chicken" chorus is led by such

Befote he had developed qaite the
legal acumen of a Marshall there came
to the young man an irresistible im
pulse that he ought to become a
preacher, and he went awa to Chi
cago, graduating in the class of 1884
from the theological school.
Returning to Iowa, he built the
foundation for his career as a min
ister of the gospel by serving one of
those old country circuits, which !-ave
tried the faith of so t many .jdern
prophets. He had the foresight about
this time to marry tne woman who
has had a very large part in his life
since, who was Miss Estelle 'ark of

In 1887 the young minister and his
wife went to India as missionaries
Their work was among the Eurasians,
to whom William Taylor hat! come a
few years before, as a flaming evan
gel, winning tens of thousands to the
Christian faith.
These Eurasians were of mixed
blood, largely white. Two or three
hundred thousand of them were in
India, and were neither Christian nor
Buddhist. They had no moral stand
ards and were among the lowest f
humankind.
There were four years of mini?try
to these people, combined with the
editorship of the Bombay Guardian,
and later the Indian Witness. During
this period a daughter was bi . now'
Mrs. Harry P. Hunter, of Omaha.
Faraway Lake Dream Comes Tru..
Eye failure led to the transfer of
Mr. Stuntz to Naini Tal, in the l.ill
country, for teaching and pasforal
work in one of the summer capitals of
India.
f It was here that the dream of a far
away lake came true. Tal is the word
for lake in the Hindu language, and
the parsonage of the. young mission
ary was located on the side of a
mountain a hundred feet above a' gem
of purest ray serene that nestW in
the bowl of the hills, its crystal depths
fed from the eternal snows just, above.
The bishop told of catching lake
trout 27 inches long. Yom know a
bishop can get by with a story of
trout that1 size. He explained, how
ever, that lake rout grow bigger than
bro,ok trout. Just how big the fish-
were which got away he did not
state. i , .
It was of these summer capitals in
the hills, in which all the splendor of
India, and an English society sec
ond only to that ofLondon, scintil
lates during the three months when
the plains are simmering under tenv
peratures of 110 to 125, .that Kipling
wrote his Plain Tales of the Hills.
They were real stories of real people,
and Bishop Sfuntz states that Kipling
did more .with these stories to reno
vate moral conditions in the summer
capitals than a dozen missionaries
could have done.
' Bishop Knew Haig in India.
At Naini Tal, when young Stuntz
was there, there was a dashing young
captain, a hard working military man,
Captain Haig. This captain has lately
become known as Sir Douglas Haig,
field marshal of the armies of Britain
in France.
For four years Mr. Stuntz was
pastor of a big church, teacher in a
school, chaplain of the British troops,
and for one of the years superintend
ent of a district 350 miles long. In
four years, he suffered a breakdown,
strange to say, and was sent back,
over his protest, to America.
There was a year for recuperation,
two pastorates in Iowa, and then five
years in the, Philippines,, organizing
mission work there. Forced back
again to America by sickness, after

Profiteers Are Fattening
on Hunger of the Public
Washington. Aug. 17. War profit
eers of 1917 were most numerous in
business devoted to food production
and distribution, cotton and woolen
maunfacturing and dealing, coal min
ing copper, .aluminum and other
metal production and oil production
and distribution, according to a
treasury analysis of income tax re
turns. In addition, thousands of small
concerns in a great variety of classi
fications made profits ranging from
100 to 3,000 per cent above their nor
mal pre-war profits', which even then
were considered high.
In Citing certain industry as con
taining the largest percentage of pro
fiteers, the treasury has made it clear
that not all individual businesses in
these groups have gathered in swollen
earnings. vThis is true particularly of
coal operators, some of whom made
enormous profitSv while others'1 made
barely enough to pay justified divi
dends. With few exceptions, manufacturers

HOMER
which'Mr. Stuntz was made field sec
retary of the Methodist Missionary
society, and a year later correspond
ing secretary.
How He Came to Omaha.
In '1912 Dr. Stuntz was elected
bishop. He choose ' South America
as his field, remaining until 1916,
when at the request of the ministers
of the Omahfl area he was assigned
here. This, Bishop Stuntz considers
the highest compliment he ever re
ceived, that the men'who knew him
best should have desired him as their
presiding bishop. "Perhaps they are
not so enthusiastic now," remarked
the bishop, widi a twinkle in his eye,
"since I have had to assign them to.
their pastorates.
Bishop Stuntz has two enthusiasms,
South America and the Mississippi
Valley. South America to him is
marvelous, in resources and in possi
bilities. He believes it will show the
most remarkable growth within the
next century that the world has ever
seen. And 'I needs, he believes, all the
aid of every sort" that the.- United
States can give.
His Faith-in the Middle West.
The middle west, in which Bishop
Stuntz has spent so large a part of
his life, he considers the very heart
of America. "There is n6 other equal
amount of . land in which civilization
has so nearly approximated the ideal
of the Kingdom of God,", he said.
"These broad spaces seem toThave de
veloped a people who have a firmer.
grip on the realiWes of life than any
other people. In spite of the faults
which are found here the middle west
contains all the fine qualities of a newl
Puritanism upon which the future of
the land will be built."
Bishop and Mrs. Stuntz will start
Monday on a pilgrimage to China and
India, which" will last for seven
months. The bishop goes to the aid
of Bishop Bashford of India and
Bishop John E. Robinson of China,
both of whom have broken down from
overwork.
He will hold a number of confer
ences, and will have general supervis
ion of the work during this time. It
may be he will again visit Naini Tal
and catch some more of those 27-inch
trout. And who knows? he may
grow that fierce Van Dyke again.
T. P. A. Votes to Help Drive
For Salvation Army $60,000
The execut'ive committee of Travel

among its membership hundreds of
traveling salesmen here, at a meet
ing yesterday decided to help in the
Salvation Army drive for $60,000 here

Brown, chairman of the patriotic and
defense committee of the organiza
tion, was authorized to name, a com
mittee to help in the campaign.
' At the meeting it was also planned
to hold a membership contest for the

The Lincoln Daily Star's Shameful
v Political Lies!
The Lincoln Daily Star, a daily newspaper published in Lincoln, Nebraska, claims
to be "Nebraska's Best Newspaper." It ought to change its motto to Nebraska
Biggest Liar." ,
This contemptible, dirty sheet prints in its- August 8, 1918, August 9, 1913, and
August 11, 1918, issues, articles in which it attempts to mak it appear that one oi
our most loyal, respected and honored citizens, Mr. Walter Rosicky, is pro-Uerman.
And all because Mr. Rosicky happens to be exercising his privilege as an Ameri
can voter and an American citizen in supporting Chas. W. Bryan for the democratic
nomination for governor! ' ' "
It is too bad that the Lincoln Daily Star, which is owned and edited by an
appointee of Governor Neville, .must stoop to deliberate and malicious vilufication
and misrepresentation in attacking Mr. Rosicky, simply because he happens to suppon
Governor' Neville's opponent for the democratic nomination for' governor.
The Lincoln Daily Star falsely and maliciously attempts to brand with pro-Germanism
a man who is a born American citizen, and whom we know Js Pn. un
stintingly of his time and money in loyal and hearty support of the United fetates
government, a man who has done all in his power to help m .the various war arnres
for the sale of Liberty Bonis, War Savings Stamps, Red Cress Activities, etc.,
and who is an authorized United States government agent (or the Bale of War bav
ingsStamps, and who has offered, and is ready to make the supreme sacrifice lor
his country. . ' i ' ' ' ' '
This same newspaper, the Lincoln Daibf Star, is supporting a man who aslS
the voters to re-elect him .as Governor of Nebraska, Keith Neville, and who is
also supported by Senator Hitchcock's sheet, the Omaha World-Herald, and tied
up with the Hitchcock-Mullen political gang, the same Senator H-tchcock who
introduced the infamous pro-German .Embargo Bill in Congress, which, if it had
passed, woWd have lost the war for the allies; the same Senator Hiteheoek whose
picture appeared on the fron't page of Viereck's pro-Kaiser magazine,. The Fath
erland," the very man who recently admitted to United States government offi
cials that he received over $100,000 to carry on .German propaganda in the United
States.
The Lincoln Daily Star, who know that they lie, when they try to make out
that Mr. Walter Rosicky is otherwise than an absolutely loyal tnd true . cUizen of
the United States, .is ardently supporting for Governor, Keith Neville, who two
years ago received, and will in all probability, again receive, the hearts support of
that exponent of Kaiser VKultur" in America, 'the Nebraska German-American
Alliance. "
The Lincoln Daily Star hdt only insults tor. Rosicky, but the Lincoln Daily
Star insults the loyal and patriotic Bohemian editors and publishers of Bohem.

Along the Vesle the French and
Americans have continued their -harassing
artillery fire day and night, the
Germans replying at intervals. There
was no infantry action on either side
and the line remains unchanged.
Th,p Germans apparently are con
fining their efforts to the air, their
bombing machines Friday night
reaclting points alone; the Marne south
and "southwest of Fismes, endeavor
ing to bomb bridges and railway cen
ters and places wherever they thought
troops mighmbe quartered. Anti-aircraft
guns quickly drove off the enemy
before they could do much damage.
At some places the Germans dropped
bombs on either side of the Marne
where the French and Americanswere
completing the reconstruction of
bridges destroyed by the Germans in
their retreat.
