Skull of Mystery May
Be That of Lost Child
Especial to The Times)

NEWCASTLE, Ind, June 10
If scientists can determine wheth-
err a little bruised skull just found
in an old ditch here once carried
the smiling features of little Cath
crime Winters, one of the coun-
try's greatest mysteries will be
solved.
Catherine Winters disappeared
from the home of her father, DR..
w. A. Winters, more than four
years ago. Gypsies were suspect
ed of kidnapping.
Newspapers all over the nation
were aroused and Joined in one of
the greatest child hunts ever or
ganiZed. Rewards were offered.
For months the little 1O-year-old
girl was sought in all the nation s
highways and byways.
After some months nearly all
searchers gave it up. DR.. Winters
searched until he was penniless.
Then he gave up searching, but
kept on hoping.
Now labOrers have come
upon a child's skull while
digging in a long untouched
ditch. Doctors have exam
ined it and pronounced it is
the skull Of a child less than
IL years old and has been i'm
the ground less than five
years.!
How to prove the identity of a
sweet-faced child with a hideous
skull! Can 1t be done! Can the
mystery be solved by this bit oil
bone dug out of ditch?
VIII there come to light any
popularity of shape by which iden-
tity may be established or dis
proven?
Again there is mystery!
Great as was the mystery when
little Catherine was swept away
as clearly as if she never had lived,
Just as great is the new mystery.

Answers for All Allies.

Washington, Aug. 29.-President
Wilson's rejection of the pope's peace
proposals is regarded here as the high
water mark of the war. Furthermore,
it is indicative of the virtual selection
of the President by the Allies as their
spokesman before the world.
The note comes as a climax to the
remarkable series of state documents
in which President Wilson has argued
the cause Of world democracy against
autocracy in the high court of public
opinion and accepted more and more
by the people of all the allied coun-
tries as expressing their ideals.
There appears to be no doubt that
the United States was selected to
make answer before the world, in ad-
vance of all the others. Whether the

ed as probable that they will in large

STORMS HIT BRITISH CROPS
Grain Beaten Into Ground by Heaviest
Rains in Recent Years-WhoIe
Country Suffers.

London, Aug. 30-The London morn
ing papers feature as a matter of Sc
rious nature the disastrous effect of
the August weather on British crops.
The month began with heavy rains
which beat down the cereal crops to
an extent compelling reaping to be
done with the scythe and sickle in
stead of by machine. The downpours
have been frequent and heavy through
out the whole month, while the IN
favorable harvesting weather now has
eliminated in a savage gale of We
1ocity at times of a hundred miles an
hour and accompanied by sweeping
deluges of rain
The damage caused by the storms
extends virtually through the whole
country, though the havoc is greatest
in the western countries where the
crops are heaviest and where the grain
fields in many Instances now are little
better than tangled masses of discoI-
ored straw and sprouting ears.
