Prompt Action Of Firemcn saves Conf
merciaI Bank from De-
structiOn.

Fire, which for a while threatened to
destroy the building at sos West Broadway,
in which the Commercial National bank is
located. broke out about 2:30 o'clock yes
terday morning. The prompt arrival and
~eficient service of the fire department,
however, prevented the blaze spreading and
causing any very serious damage.
The fire started in the second story Of
the building and when the names burst
through the skylight on the roof was no.
ticed by the operator at the telephone ex-
change. who sent in an alarm to the FIRE
company at No. 8 hose house. BY the time
the hremen reached the place The building
was full OF smoke and the flames had
gained considerable headway.e
1t was thought at first that the IRE had
originated from a defective electric light
wire. but subsequent Investigation Shove
that It had been caused by live ashes
being dumped in a wooden box in one
of the back rooms on the second floor, which
had been used Tuesday evening by the
Council Bluffs Dramatic club for It's re-
hearsals. In. the center OF the second
floor is a glass skylight and through
this the flames spread to the first floor,
damaging the fixtures of the bank Within
fifteen minutes the flames. which threat
ened to spread to the Beno company's store
on the west and the store building on the
east, were gotten under control by the
fire company.
The damage to the fixtures In the bank
was estimated yesterday at about $500 and
that to the building, which is owned by
A. A. Clark, at about $3.50. A printing
plant. formerly belonging to the Council
Bluffs Tribune and now owned by DR.. Bell
ings. which was stored in one of the rooms,
Of the second floor. was badly damaged,
but the loss is covered by insurance, as are
the bank fixtures and the building itself.
During the progress Of the fire Captain
Frank Hitchcock, assistant chief Of the fire
department, was struck on the head by fall
ing glass from the skylight and severely
cut and had to be removed to the Wom-
ans Christian Association hospital, where
his injuries were attended to. He was
able to be on duty again yesterday.
Cashier iPerce OF the Commercial bank
estimated the damage to the bank fixtures
by smoke and water yesterday at about
$500. which is fully covered by insurance.
A lumber OF Christmas trees which the
young women OF the Flower mission had
intended to decorate yesterday were com
plstely destroyed. The bank opened for
business yesterday morning as usual.

CHANGES NAVAL SCHOOLING
British Admiralty OOmbines Training for
All Branches Of Service.
OFFICERS MUST Be ALL-RoUND MEN
Minister Claims that Times Demand
Combination of seamen, Soldiers,
Scientists aud Engineers to
Manage English ships.

LONDON, Dec. 25.-The admiralty have
published details OF a new scheme Of naval
education, under which cadets for all
branches OF the service will get the same
training.
The earl OF Selborne, first lord OF the
admiralty, in an explanatory article, argues
that modern developments Of the navy
require a change in the personnel Of off,
GERS, and adds.
In the old days 1t suhiced II a naval ofi-
Ger was a .seaman; now he must be a sea-
man, a soldier. an engineer and a man of
science as we'll Today more knowledge
and study Is needed than in the past and
which great professional knowledge is
added to force of character. The danger
within the navy itself is less insufficient
suits of study and lest the value OF what
is called practical character" should be
placed higher than II deserves.
The scheme will become operative next
July. For the FIRST seven years ell cadets
will receive Identical training In every
branch Of the service. special attention
being given to scientific study, but there
after from the age OF 20. the cadets will
be drafted into the different branches and
will begin to specialize.
The scheme enables speedler promotion,
provides for revised rates Of pay. the dis
appearance of engineers disabilities and
promotion to the rank of commander by
selection.
While the newspapers this morning gem
orally mmen the scheme as a courageous
attempt in the direction of a necessary
reform, 1t is expected that It will meet with
considerable opposition. Its principal de-
feet, as pointed out in editorial articles,
is that engineers and marine officers will
still be debarred from attaining flag rank,
and that all cadets, therefore, will want to
enter for the executive branch.
The Standard says:
We do not blame the admiralty for hest
tating to follow the United States, in
GERS have been combined, with dubious re-
suits, but the admiralty has gone so far
that 1t certainly will be compelled to go
further.
