Police, spurred to new efforts by the discovery of the child's body 'near the Lindbergh estate, still had noth- ing but vague clues to work on. Showing the wave of revulsion that has followed discovery of the crime, I New York newspaper headlines were I blacker than ever before. One news- ! paper devoted .its entire front to the words, "Baby Dead." Photos, reproduced here show the helpless victim as he appeared on his first birthday, a few months before his - abduction and death. WILLIAM ALLEN, FINDER OF BA Y, WITH HIS DOG While a battalion of secret opera- tives and police worked assiduously al lover the world in efforts to trace the myriad rumors concerning the Lindbergh kidnapping, William Al- len, colored, discovered the mutilat- ed body of the child by the merest chance as he walked through the, woods near Trenton; N.J.

EXPECT ARREST OF KIDNAFPE>*'S MAY BE SOON New York Five erten and a wo- man, whose identities are believed to be known, were responsible for the kidnapping of the baby son of Colonel Charles A.

The arrest of one or more mem- 's 'hers of this group is understood on good authority to be expected with- i in the next few days. THE TEST FOR UNCLE SAM A babe has awakened the world to the rottenness that festers and foments . in the body politic of a great nation. The cruel fate of a child — the smashing of a happy, human home —dramatically discloses the tentacles of the Thing that is tearing at the vitals of a proud people. For the moment the Dollar—the big concern —the only concern—does not' seem to matter.. Uncle Sam must realize at Iast that he has something else on hand which demands his attention—some- thing ugly, filthy, foul, and strong. He has seen—and the world has seen—his so-called police, chattering pretenders at law enforcement, run for weeks in aimless circles and then be shoved aside ignotniously as use- less, while a humiliating appeal was made to the powerful criminal un- derworld. Another week -end has gone by. Constituted tted authority, whatever that e may mean, is still stabbing stupidly at suspicions and theories, just as it did in weeks past, and wondering whether the hordes that the Presi- dent has let loose will get some- where. At any rate, the world is duly ad- vised in despatches that a nation is aroused, a President is aroused, a people is aroused. It will be inter- esting and illutninating to see what all this' advertised arousedness twill accomplish, Itis the testing time for our nei- ghbors across the line. And the tandard of the test is not monetary pr materialistic. It is not to be neasured in mere metal—even by old.—Globe.

PARENTS OF SLAIN CHILD MOTHER'S COURAGE HIGHLIGHT OF TRAGEDY The courage of Anne Lindbergh was an inspiration to all about her, friends said; as forces of law and or- der the length and breadth of the continent began a relentless hunt for the slayers of her child. The .second blow she has taken bravely during the last eight months came on it+lay 12, Last, October while she and Col, Lindbergh were on an earial trip to the Orient, . her fIather Senator Dwight W.
