ARMY AND NAVY NOTES
OIL Fuel Supply for the Torpedo
Fleet.
From The Tribuns Bureau

washington.
PROBLEM OF OIL sToRAGE-The determine
ton of the Navy Department to establish the tor
pedo hotilla the basis of joint operations with
the greatest possible radius of action from main
depots has rendered IL necessary 10 devise special
means Of storing the liquid fuel which torpedo
craft will hereafter Ths torpedo station will
be at the navy yard at Charleston, s c II Is pos
sble that northern base will be selected al Ports
mouth n. H. and later IT is contemplated 10 estao-
lish a third base either at Key West or Guantana
mo- which is be made ready in anticipation OF
the Panama Canal. The civil engineers Of the navy
have developed plans for some large tanks IN which
Sasolene and fuel oil will be stored at Charleston
These tanks will have capacity Of six thousand
barrels Of gssoene twenty thousand barrels OF
fuel oil Tanks OF equal capacity are likely to be
established at the two other torpedo stations N
order that there may be prompt supply for the
boats without too long trip to replensh the reSer
voirs board. The question Of adopting tank
ships carry oil sea supply the torpedo craft
has been discussed and undoubtedly Congress viii
be asked to provide these oilers within the next
year or two II is foreseen and has been pointed
out by the naval General Board that this means Of
delivering fuel oil to the torpedo boats at sea will
enable those craft to accompany the fleet on long
voyages and will manifestly add 70 the radius OF
action of the boats.
RETAINERS FOR MEDICAL REsERvES.-One
of the propositions being considered by the SUI
geon general of the army is that OF rate of
compensation or retainers for the inactive mem
bers of the medical corps This list of
officers consists OF physicians and surgeons IN
civil practice who have recently accepted com
missions in the reserve corps, with the under
standing that in time of they will be available
for duty. In the case Of the more influential
bers OF the profession such a call is not likely to
be made, but in time Of trouble those who have
thus volunteered for service will be assigned to
duty. In the mean time. IT is held by the surgeon
general. these inactive officers should be peri
odically engaged in work with military forces.
probably at the army and militia manoeuvres. TO
the end that they may become fully acquainted
with the duties which would devolve them in
time Of war. These inactive members of the corps
have norninally the rank Of lieutenant, bur the
compensation would not begin to repay them for
loss Of time in the period of practical training.
and Il Will become necessary TO provide special
compensation IN the Of such officers It would
also be necessary in time Of to increase the
rank of the volunteer medical officers and this il
is believed, may be done by giving the most de-
sirable OF these temporary medical officers
missions in the volunteer force thus assuring rank
and compensation which will be in keeping with
the sacrifices they make In the practice Of their
profession.
