SHIFTS MADE
c.. A. PREF in Full Charge
of Shipbuilding Pro-
gram
PERSONNEL
IS CHANGED
Rear-Admiral Bowles Quits
Post in Wooden Ship
Building Dept.

Washington, Nov. ia complete re-
organization of the shipping boards
emergency fleet corporation was begun
Saturday when Charles A. Piez, Chi
cago engineer, recently made vice-presi-
dent of the corporation, was put IN SUI
preme charge of the governments ship
building program.
Rear Admiral Washington l.. Capps,
appointed by President Wilson as gen
eral manager of the corporation, succeed
ing Mai. Gen. George w Cocktails, will
continue in that position, but much of
the work he has done heretofore will be
taken over, it was said at Washington
Saturday night, by Mr.. Piez. Admiral
Capps denied vigorously reports that he
would resign because of the changes that
will be made.
Duties that have been performed by
some of Admiral Capps' aids, most of
them naval men, viii be taken over to
a large extent by engineers who will
serve with Mr. Piez. Wooden ship con
struction will be put in charge of James
Heyworth, Chicago contractor, who
displaces Rear Admiral +. I. Bowles, re-
tired. The building of fabricated steel
ships will be under the supervision of
Charles Day, Philadelphia engineer now
in England studying methods of con-
struction A. j. Mason of Chicago, an
other engineer, will do most of the field
work, inspecting plants and supervising
generally their operation.
Decision to reorganize the staff that
has had charge of building was made
by the shipping board after an investi
cation by a special committee. This
committee named by the board was head
ed by Mr. Piez and has as its other mem
bers Mr.. Mason. Mr.. Day and Frank
Kirby, New York engineer.
The report stated. it is learned, that
shipbuilding was not proceeding as it
should because Of lack of business meth |
DDS within the fleet corporation. Yards, |
they reported, were not obtaining mate |
rial as rapidly as they needed it, Speci |
fcations, they said, were changed too |
often and general lack of harmony was
found, they declared, between builders |
and the feet corporations officials.
One of the first things the reorganized /
will do will be to secure a
sufficient supply of lumber for the 80
wooden ships now under construction.

furtherance Of world peace.
"In addition to these basic principles
which are based upon declarations of
our president of these United States,
there should be incorporated in the
treaty that shall constitute the guide

tions into which we enter at the close of
the war the following declarations fun

Wooden shipbuilders told the shipping
board Saturday that specifications have
been changed so that their operations
have been seriously handicapped They
complained, too, that they have received
no cooperation from officials of the
emergency feet corporation.
One other development of the confer
ence was the statement by shipping
board officials that the wooden ships
now building probably are the last that
will be ordered by the government.

Avoid too much meat, tea and alcohol.
Drink an abundance of water, both hot

This is the best way to avoid rheuma
