WIN CUTCHE0N,
ACTOR, MISSING
SINCE OCTOBER
Friends of Former Husband Of
Pearl White Worried by
Absence.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-Friends Of
Wallace McCutcheon, well-known in
the theatrical profession and until a
few months ago the husband of Pearl
White, the moving-picture actress,
are beginning to be alarmed over
his long absence.
McCutcheon has not been seen
since October. Among those who
knew him best the opinion prevails
that injuries received during the
war might have something to do
with his disappearance.
He participated in all the big bat
ties in Flanders in 1915, 1915 and
the early part of 1917 and was
wounded. In a major engagement
on the famous battle front he was
hit in the head by shrapnel. He was
invalided home with a silver plate
in his skull. McCutcheon won the
rank of major in Flanders. He was
in the Eighth Battalion Of the Lei
cestershire Infantry. an English
regiment.
From playing leads with Elsie
Janis. from dancing duets with Joan
Sawyer, from sprightly vaudeville
with Vera Maxwell, he jumped to
England and within a short time
was digging trenches to the tune of
a German cannonade. He was the
first in his profession to answer the
call.

INSURANCE COMPANY TO
PROTECT WINE CELLARS

PITTSBURGH. Feb. 1S.-Due to
the large and increasing number Of
robberies Of wine cellars and booze

insuring owners Of hooch against
loss, II their stock was purchased

While this class Of insurance Is an
innovation, officials Of the company
say it Is no different from other
risks. Before a policy is issued the
owner must prove that he purchased
his supply Of wet goods before pro.
hibition became effective. II un.
able to produce this proof the risk
is rejected. The rates, in view of
the attendant chance OF loss here

VIEWS
0NFRENCH DEBT
WIDELY DIVIDED

By J. BART CAMPBELL,
InternationAl News Service.

Sentiment In divided in the Sen
ate today regarding the fiat state
ment that France can never pay
her war debt to the United States
which was made at Paris by Louis
Loucheur. former minister Of the
French Devastated Regions before
the downfall Of the BRAND govern
ment, and now q member OF the
French Chamber Of Deputies.
Loucheur's statement that France
cannot pay now. cannot ever pay"
was received by Senators with man

Senator Mccormick. who recently
CHARGED that Frances inability to
pay was due to q badly balanced
budget resulting from her main
tenance Of q large standing army.
said: .....,,... 4. -. ,,r..

the Paris Matin announced that
the payment of the French debt to
the United States was conditioned
not only upon the payment of
repara lions by Germany. but on the
payment by Russia to France Of
the debt contracted at the outbreak
of the world war.

they were made no Russian or other
conditions were attached to their

governments are willing"
Senator King Dem) of Utah said
THE statement Of Loucheir con.
corning the financial condition OF
France and her inability to pay her
obligations IN, in my opinion. sub
stantially correct. France has a
population of 100000. The war
destroyed 1000. 900 of her men and
disabled more than 100000. Her
indebtedness exceeds $63 900, 900. 900.
and the entire value of her property,
public and private. II less than $751;
000. 00o. 900.
Let US not be hypercritical about
France or her inability to pay her
debt. Let us never forget the terri
BILE and costly sacrifices she made in
the world war. Let US always re-
member the frightful devastation
she suffered"
