lead one to believe that he did not IN
tend to return.
The disappearance OF Mr.. Mclean
has created quite stir not only in
Newbergy, where he was well liked.
but throughout South Carolina col
legiate athletic circles, and it is hop
ed that the apprehension of his many
friends will soon be relieved BY some
word from him in explanation of what
now appears to be much Of mys-
terry.
During the vacation last year Mr..
Mclean acted as local reporter for
the Observer and in that way became
the better acquainted with the people
of the city. And made many friends
among them.
The following appeared in the Au-
gusta Chronicle of June 13:
There was another effort to identity
"Mr. Blank yesterday. "Mr. Blank"
as is known, is the young man who
is here and who does not know who
he is.
Several weeks ago Prof. Fred Nc
Lean disappeared from Newberry col
1ege at Newberry, S. C. He was OF
the faculty there, his nome being in
Youngstown, Ohio. Up to his time
there has been no publication of the
facts of his disappearance. He was
most popular in Newbery, in and out
of college circles. He was promi-
nent in college sports, was hickman
ed Dutch" on the campus, and at
one time was the college coach.
Nothing has been heard from aim
by his people in Ohio. Leaving New
berry, he left bank deposit of $50,
and an earned salary of 5000. Most
diligent inquiry has failed to disclose
any reason that would hare caused
his peculiar departure from Carolina.
His friends have made quiet inquiries
without success, and are now appeal
ing to the public prints in the hope
of securing news of him. He is about
% wears of age and quite handsome
young man.
The other night Mr.. B. A. Watts,
who travels Carolina for a Detroit
house, was alguest at the home Of
Prof. C. F. Wertz, of the Newberry
college faculty. Learning Of the case
Of Professor Mclean and being shown
his photograph, Mr.. Watts inferred
that he and f1Mr. Blank might be tae
same man. Mr.. Watts had kept up
with the "Mr. Blank" case through
The Chronicle, and had picture OF
that young man. Armed with por"
trait of Professor Mclean, Mr.. Watts
came to August yesterday and confer
red with ''Mr. Blank" He quickly be-
came convinced, however, that the
professor and the man in Augusta are
different people. AS a matter of facti
s'Mr. Blank was at the university
hospital long before Professor Nc

Il may be of interest to know that

bridge leave Thursday for Bangor
Me ONT. Blank" has made the state
ment that, put in Bangor and given
an automobile he will be able to drive
to his home town in forty-eight hours
He is convinced that his home IS III
Bangor, or in the vicinity OF tnat
city.

BATTLE ON FILM
CENSORSHIP FOR
COUNTRY BEGUN

Washington, Jan. 14.-Hear1ng on a
bill for the Federal censorship of NOV
| ing picture films were begun last
night before the House Committee on
Education, which will conduct hear
ings for six nights. The Rev. Wilbur
F. Crafts, superintendent of the IN
ternational Reform Bureau, said that
while State boards had reduced the
number of improper films, Federal
board was necessary to insure only
| decent and clean pictures Mr..
! Crafts quoted a large producer of
films as saying that so per cent. of
the exhibitors wanted pictures to be
| risque, SO as to better please their
patrons.
Mr.. Crafts cQntended that the NOV
ing picture industry was essentially
connected with interstate commerce,
and that the Federal Government
should regulate it, provided in the
Hughes bill, by forbidding copyright
and interstate commerce privileges to
| Objectionable films. The bill provides
for a board of five, appointed by the
President and confirmed by the Sem
ate.
i J. w Binder of New York, secre-
tary of the Motion Picture Board of
Trade, told the committee that the
Hughes bill was SO drawn that it
would greatly injure the motion pic
ture business and cause many con-
Germs to suspend.
mo one he said attempts to cen
sor speech or the printed word. Why
should third method of expression
WHICH did not happen to be invented
when the Constitution was adopted,
be subjected to governmental censor
ship?''
Mr. Binder said the bill would pro
hibit the showing of a, film made pre-
vious to the enactment of the law be-
cause it provided that all films SHOWN
must be censored, in advance. He as
serted that delays in censoring would
tie up millions of capital, that over
100000 feet per week of new film
must be passed upon, and that there
could be no importing Of film from
other countries. One scene, he as
serted, would tie up a whole play,
and no one board possibly could do
all the work necessary to pass pro
perly upon the. millions of feet of
film made weekly in this countrq.

Quick Reduction of Our
Indebtedness In Europe

It is estimated by the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce
that when the war started the Unfted
States owed from 100000 to ST.
50O,0O0.OO0. That is, it is figured
that Europe had invested this sum in
American securities and that there
fore the United States was debtor to
Europe for this vast capital
Now Europe is piling up debts in
the United States at the rate of more
than $4O,OO0.OOO a month or of about
$50O,00O.oOO a year, a great part of
which is used to buy back part of the
billions of American securities held
across the Atlantic. If this goes on
five years, the slate will be clear be-
tween Europe and the United States
OF course all American securities
will not be bought back. But our
remaining debt to Europe would be
offset by loans to other countries.
This is what the change from debtor
to creditor nation will mean.

Boy Scouts Come to
Rescue Of Mailmen
Burdened In England

London. Jan. 13.-When the Man
chester post Office became so con
gested with Christmas mail that the
authorities, did not know where to
turn; 300 boy scouts stepped in and
worked at loading vans collecting
parcels, wheeling trucks and helping
to assert the enormous mass of par
GELS cards and letters that had over
whelnned the regular force.
This incident is but one of the in
Vulnerable services that the boy
scouts have SO freely given to the
government. Boy scouts patrol the
coast looking, for hostile cruisers,
they carry, messages in the govern
ment offices, Red Cross quarters and
relief stations, they dig potatoes when
shortage Of labor threatens farmers.
But the cream of the work, in the
point of view of the boys, Is the pa
troll of the eastern coast on the look
out for German warships and U-boats
In no other war; so far as records
show, have the boys done anything
| like the effective service for their
country.
