OLD MACHINE LAID
BY;sTATEEUNDER
NEW BUSINESS PLAN
ILLINOIS OPERATING UNDER Eff
FlClENCY BASIS ENDORSED
AND FATHeaED BY GOVERNOR
FRANK o. LOWDEN.

Springfield, Ill, July 2.-The old
wheezy governmental machine which
has been used to operate administra'
tive part of the states business was
stored away today N its place was
installed an Hp-todate model which
has been pronounced by experts in
state governmental affairs to be the
equal of any III use in the United
States.
The installation of the new system
took place formally in Governor Low
den's office this morning when the
officers coming under the terms of
rhe new code bill gathered there and
\ took the oath Of office which makes
them cogs in the state government
The ceremony was quiet affair. On
4 ~ the men to whom the oath was to
be administered. a few other persons
directly connected with the states
. business and group OF newspaper
men were present.
Instead of scores of conflicting de-
partments today the states business
I was being transacted by nine prin-
; cipal departments with all the sub
divisions directly responsible to the
] head OF each The heads will be re-.
sponsible to the governor, their sub
, Ordinates to the head and the govern
or will be responsible to the people.
The new department heads went to
work with a total of $50,5l1.l0 in
their collective pocket with which to
operate. The new department heads
have been in the city for the past
week familiarizlng themselves with
their duties. Consequently when they
went into power today it was with the
minimum of friction and confusion.
One OF the first improvements no
tlceabie was the fact that all Offices
except those occupied by elective Of
icials remained open thru the lunch
hour. They were open at $3.50 in the
morning and did not, close at all until
late in the day. This Is by provision
of the departmental consolidation act.
Many Of the elective officials will fol
low the same system OF service at
every hour Of the working day.
The problem of finding suitable
quarters in the state house for the de.
partments las not yet been solved
satisfactorily, altho Secretary OF
State Emmerson has devoted mich OF
his time for three weeks to it. The
difficulty is in conflicting desires on
the part OF department heads most
of them apparently wanting the same
quarters. The secretary has endeav
ored to get them to settle the ques
tion among themselves but 1t will be
several days before everything is
worked out satisfactorily.
The appropriations and all new
laws enacted by the fiftieth general
. assembly also became effective today

Rome. July 2. 19l7-Itaiy is taking
heroic measures TO do her share in
building new cargo ships to combat
the u-boat
1t is understood that navigation
companies will soon be ordered to in
vest every penny of extra war profits
in the construction of new tonnage.
This takes the place of the present
order that s per cent. of extra war
profits be set aside to meet an after
the war industrial crisis or to be in
vested in new industries.
Under a decree just issued every
Italian steamer now lying in dry dock
under prcteXt of repairs. as well as
every vessel anchored in home waters
as unfit for navigation for any rea-
son, will be Inspected by government
engineers and ordered out as soon as
repairs can be completed This order
is prompted by the fact that ship
owners in some eases are reservlng
their vessels for after the war trade.
These owners refuse to send their
ships out to face the risks of sub
marine warfare on the ground that
government insurance is based on the
before the war value of steamers.
One Italian line will launch five
S.0O0.ton boats between August and
December next, and proposes to build
eight mere next year. Another com
pany has ordered three new express
steamers. Two new navigation com
panies have been organized under a

tai of $50 100000. They have a big

Washington, July General Squier
is man who achieves things. While
in the Signal Corps AS Colonel he
was placed in charge of aeronaut-
les and with but limited amount Of
money to expend he started out to
develop this service for the United
States Army.
His idea was To specialize in the
various branches of this arm Of the
service and to put the members of
his corps through most intensive
training The result was that when
Congress finally awakened 70 "a true
realization OF what aeronautics meant
to an army and increased his appro-
priation, General Squier found him
self in position to extend this ap-
preparation judiciously. The result is
that the American flier today ranks
foremost among the fliers Of the
world.
In the manufacture OF aeroplanes
the manufacturers of the country en-,
countered obstacles; there was not
enough business coming to them TO
advance their work. General Squier
appointed boards of specialists to over
come the various individual troubles;
he gave contracts to the small manu-
facturer in proportion to his ability
to turn out machines for the army.
Being the last great nation to adopt
the aeroplanes-for war purposes, Gen
enral SQuier was confronted in the
present conflict with. the realization
that American manufacturers were
not prepared to turn out air machines
fast enough. He Immediately per
fected arrangements whereby the ma
chimes for this purpose will be pro-
cured in France All OF the. machines
for the training of aviators will be
American made.
/ He is regarded as very brilliant
scientist and is credited with several
modern-day inventions In telegraphy
and other means Of transmission.
For number Of years prior to his
being detailed in aerorautics he was
military attache at the American EN-
bassy in London.
