RECAPTURES
FUGITIVE FROM L0RT0N
William H. Preston, Colored, Who
Broke Away From Reformatory,
Again Locked Up.

William H. Preston, colored, thirty-two
years old. who escaped from the Lorton
reformatory nearly a month ago, having
served less than one year Of a nine-year
sentence for burglaries committed In
Cleveland Park. was recaptured by Po-
liceman Gallagher Of the Tenleytown po-
1t became necessary for Gallagher to use
his nightstick on the head Of the fugitive
to retain possession Of him.
Preston was not returned to the re-
formatory this morning. He Is held at
ing an investigation of his actions while
he was a fugitive. At least two addi-
uonal charges OF burglary Will be prefer
red against him. it Is stated, and he
probably will be tried and given additional
time before he Is returned to the reforma-
tory or sent to a prison from which he
will not find escape SO easy.
Several policemen last night responded
to a call received from the residence Of
Robert L. Livingston. 343o Lowell street.

had been seen in the yard. The police
men went in different directions in their

his umbrella raised and was carrying a
grip in which articles stolen from the
Livingston home later were found.

lagher asked his name, but q search Of
his pockets failed to reveal a visiting
card.
Preston took Gallagher to a house
where he said he was employed. but oc-
cupants of the premises were not there
to verify his statements, and he was
taken away in the patrol wagon. When
stop was made at 35th and Macomb

two were engaged in a struggle on the
roadway an automobile came along and
struck them. They were not injured,
and Preston was taken to tho seventh
precinct police station and looked UP.
He said he had been in Baltimore since
he left the reformatory and returned

The chancellor spoke Of the demand

TEST TO FILL VACANT
POSITIONS ON FIRE FORCE
Age Limit for Appointment in De.
partment Raised From SO
to 81 Years.

Prompted by the necessity of imme-
diately filing eighteen vacancies in the
fire department., the Commissioners to-
day, on recommendation of Fire Chief
Wagner. raised the maximum age limit
thirty-seven years. and directed that
mental examinations until further
notice be dispensed with.
This means that any applicant be-
tween the ages Of twenty-one and
thirty-seven years who can pass the
required physical examination will be
given a position in the fire department
at once. until the quota is filled. Ex-
aminations will be held every Wednes-
day, beginning at 2 pm. truck No. 8,
14th street and Ohio avenue northwest.
Beginners pay in the department Is
$3.50 a year. with the 10 per cent In
crease allowed by Congress, or total
Of $1.056 for the first year. Promotions
on an average arc made at the end OF
the first years service. when the pay
jumps to $1,000 a year. with q per
cent increase, for q total Of $1.13l.
The department has been unable to
obtain men. but It 10 thought that by
increasing the age limit to include men
not subject to military service tho va.
cancies can be filled.
II Congress approves the two-platoon
system for the hre department., which
is provided for in the COMMISSIONER es-
Inmates, it will be necessary. accord
ing to officials of the department. to
increase the personnel by moro than a
hundred man.
The less stringent regulations govern
ing qualifications for appointment. 1t
is believed. will be necessity II in
creases are to be made under the two
platoon system.
The fire department has just received
a new motor fire truck. The Commits
sioners' budget, to be made public with
the converting Of Congress next week,
is expected to provide literally for new
motor apparatus for the department.

THANKFUL THAT AMERICA
IS FIGHTING FOR LIBERTY
Theme Of Sermon Preached by Rev.
Randolph H. McKim at
Epiphany Church.

Thankfulness that America has taken
her stand with the nations fighting for
liberty and democracy was the theme
of the Thanksgiving sermon yesterday
by Rev. DR.. Randolph H. McKim at
Epiphany Episcopal Church. He took
for his subject Goods Call to the Ma
lions" and preached from the text:
I'm the Name Of Our God VIII We Set
Up Our Banners"
Tn spite of tho burden Of suffering
and sacrifice that war entails" said
DR.. Mckim, I'VE do thank God that
the conscience of the nation has re-
sponded to the Divine call to save civ
ilization and humanity from crucifxion
by barbarous and ruthless hands.
Nations Policy Outlined.
NO man can now say that our policy
is governed by councils Of timidity or
international opportunism. 1t now is
governed by the aspirations and ideals
that inspired our revolutionary fathers;
by a high resolve to uphold the honor
and the majesty Of the republic: by a
brave and generous determination to
take our stand by the side of those
liberty loving peoples who are being
trampled in the dust by the ruthless
legions Of German tyranny. No Ameri-
will trail in the dust. No Ameri-
can citizen need now hesitate to lift
up his head with pride before the whole
world.

After declaring that the German war

cellor continued:

The chancellor then reviewed the
submarine campaign. which. he said. is
the only effective way Of battling
against the power of Germany's enemy
and the economic war forced upon
her" He was hopeful of its success,
and said that the allies were unable to
make progress against it, either by
Communicating neutral ships or by
building new ones.
Affairs in East Uncertain.
Count Won Hertling expressed the
wish that the territories formerly under
Russian sway-Poland. Lithuania and
Courland-could have the right of
choosing their own governments and
could obtain that political form which
corresponded to their conditions and
direction were still completely in a
state of uncertainty and that reports
in the press indicating that a DEFINITE
agreement had been reached on one
Germany and her allies as having
placed themselves on the foundation Of
the papal peace note Of last August.
and said that every ground had been
removed for the foolish argument"
destroy German militarism, which was
destroying the peace Of nations. He
said:
1T has been shown where, in truth
the peace-destroying militarism can be
sought. The italian minister, Sonnino
in his speech on October 26 expressly
waived the thought Of general disarm-
ament. and Premier C1emenceau goes
so far In cynieism as to expressly shut
out Germany and Austria-Hungary from
the peaceful community Of nations OF
the. future when right shall take the
place Of armed force. Premier Lloyd
George has declared distinctly that the
aim of the war is the destruction OF
German commerce and that the war
must be continued until this end il
reached. Indeed. the lust Of conquest
falsely attributed to US is now placed
before the world through the publiea-
ton OF secret treaties by the Russian
government.
