to level of adjoining buildings or property braced Witness complained of Twenty first street bridge and MT. Weatherly said commission had had three engineers ex- anime bridge and they reported it safe. Witness stated he thought commission and Mrs Hudgins were justified in taking opinion of Matthews and Wheelock that walls were safe, but that only conflict in his mind came, in fact, that walls were to be used in rebuilding and at the same time were paid for by insurance company as a loss that he believed wall was blown over by wind
 Discredits Lightning Theory
 HI. B. Breeding, architect, stated he thought 1t was pretty high wall to be left standing without braces; that he re- garded MT. Matthews as competent in- spector; that will of that size and con ditions would beiable to be blown down even if mortar was not damaged by fire, that way to determine safety of wall would be to see whether or not it was plumb, cracked or bent; that lightning would not have knocked wall down if it had struck it; that he believed wind blew 1t down; that he considered Wheelock, Matthews, Allen and Bostick competent men and if they had investigated wall and said it was good he would rely on it: but he believed none of these men had ever stated that wall would stand wind pressure; that wall was good and would have carried floors of a structure for 100 years, but it was no good and was not safe to be left standing alone and ex- posed to wind; that height of stories of buildings are limited by building code for this very same reason; that his opinion Is based on any wall of that height and
 length and whether fire damaged it or
 it was cracked or not made differ ence; that chimneys were struck every day by lightning and not knocked down; that building code requiring new walls to be braced to keep wind from blowing down would apply equally to Steele Smith wall.
 N. B. Levene. builder, stated he had 25 years experience; had looked casually at Steele-Smith wall and considered 1t safe; that he had not taken into consid- eration any unusual wind: that he consid- cred Matthews able and efficient; that he was foreman of Jefferson County Bank building construction.
 The commission then adjourned until Wednesday morning at 9:30 o'clock and went to Steele-Smth place to see crack in corner of building. No session of probe is to be held today because it Is the regu- lar weekly meeting day of the board of commissioners.

ARMY SCHOOL PLAN
ST|RS INTEREST HERE
War Department and Other Of.
ficials Discussing E. T. Gund-
Iach's Education Plan.

A "school plan" for the United States
army, proposed by T.. r. Gundlach. Of
Chicago. one of the leading advertising
men of the country, who believes 1t
would go Tar toward solving the prob
lem of national preparedness, has
aroused much interest in Washington,
both in and out of the War Depart
ment.
1t is proposed to have the soldiers IN
peaceful times devote their mornings to
drill and military instruction, as is
now done, but to put in three and a
half or four hours in the afternoon OBJ
tanning a liberal education.
Educate the Soldier.
Educate the soldier for civil life.
says an outline of the plan prepared
by Mr.. Gundlach. Let him get his
military training exactly as now dur
ing the forenoon; then in the afternoon
teach him English, arithmetic, science
bookkeeping, civil engineering. philoso~
ply. Glasses can be arranged in all
subjects ranging from grammar sehool
requirements to advanced college work
all courses primarily elective.
For class rooms the present bar
racks now used semi mi-occasionally for
military instruction can be engaged, the
quarters being enlarged as our army is
increased. The teachers would be our
present CORPS of officers. supplemented
preferably by teachers taken from civil
life.
Adopt the school plan and you ap-
peal to hundreds of thousands Of young
men, eighteen to twenty-five years old
working in offices and on farms, hun
gering for a wear or two more of ordi-
nary schooling. wishing they could
learn bookkeeping or typewriting. OF
still others with their hearts set on a
college education. Now offer these
men their meals and lodging and cloth
ing free and little money for home
besides. together with an opportunity to
complete in six or seven wears a full
college course. and see how this will
appeal.
Both Sides Triumph.
with this plan. the pacificist tri-
umphs and the militarist wins. IL we
can build up an army of men whose sole
thought is not the hope of war. but whose
primary thought Is the hope of peace
coupled with readiness to fight II

we have for middle course between
