OIL FOR NAVY.
COAL BURNERS’ DAY OVER. London, May 24. In the House of Commons, on the Navy Vote, the Civil Lord of the Admiralty emphasised the superiority of oil fuel compared with coal. He declared that the fleet would soon consist entirely of oil-burning ships. It was proposed to establish a main Admiralty oil reserve in Britain, with installations around the coast. Special stations were being planned at the Cape of Good Hope, Falklands, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Port Said and other places.—(Reuter.)
