Fire Apparatus
LIS In Bad Shape

To the Editor Of The Times;
Last week In your paper I read
that the D. C. Fire Department
was allowed $4,000 for lew ap-
paratuS.
The Tire Department Is badly
In need of new apparatus. But
not enough money is allowed to
buy 1t with. Another thing, the
District should allow the Fire De
partment enough money to pro-
tect the present apparatus that is
10 and IL years old.
Enough money should be al.
lowed to place red warning lights
and two sirens on all Of the ap-
paratuS.
These pieces that are 10 and i
years old should be protected with
all safety devices such as red
warning lights, q siren and an
exhaust whistle. Most Of these
have only one siren that at times
are so weak they cannot be heard
Engine companies such as No. 8,
5. II, 28, whose apparatus ir in q
fair condition should be protected

Payton's dormitory posing as her

The father, Donald c. Peyton,
Of Glendale, CAL, denied he had
made the telephone call.
Federal postal authorities may
be called in If it can be estab-
hshed that a letter Miss Peyton
sent her father on her twenty
first birthday was tampered with,
as police suspect. Only Miss Pey-
ton and her mother, Mrs. Flor
ence Wagner, of Danbury, Conn,
knew the letter had been sent.
Authorities believe, however,
that the letter had been read be-
cause the man who telephoned
said he had received it.
Miss Peyton refused to flee on
q secret trip to Bermuda, and
determined to complete her edu-
cation at Wellesley.

Britain Prepares For War
As Italian Break Widens

LONDON, May % G.N.SD.-In
the wake of Prime Minister Bald
wins warning to Italy to keep
hands off Egypt, the British gov
eminent today held renewed ex-
preston of confidence from the
House of Commons which was
still digesting revelation of Brit
aims gigantic preparations for
possible war.
The government received 270
to lis confidence vote after Sir
Thomas Inskip, minister for de-
tense coordination, promised to
consult British military chiefs of
staff regarding the possibility,
raised by Winston Churchill, die
hard tory and former first lord
of the admiralty, that England
might be invaded by enemy
troops landed in the tight little
isle" by airplanes.
With tension between Britain
and Italy heightened by debate
in the House of Commons which
took a tone highly critical of
Italy, the revelations of Britain's
rearmament program were highly
significant.
Disclosing 24-hour mobilization
of all British war resources as
the goal sought, Sir Thomas re-
vealed the Royal Air Force is
being expanded to three times
its size in 1894.
