ENGLAND WILL BUY
OIL FOR WARSH|PS
FROM AMERICA
BY CHARLES p. STEWART,
london Correspondent United Press

London Correspondent United Press
LONDON. March 5.--On the heels
of the recent unofficial but definite
assurance from British government
sources that the admiralty has de-
cided to abandon coal in favor of
oil as fuel for England's fighting
ships, comes the admission on
equally high authority that naval
experts have long been convinced
of the desirability Of the change,
but hesitated to make 1t so long as
they seemed likely to be dependent
on foreign countries for supplies of
oil.
This hesitation gave way to pos
tive decision to adopt the new fuel
when reports were submitted, al
most simultaneously, by, the ablest
British naval constructors that it
would be impossible for England
long to maintain its traditional two
power" standard at sea without re-
course to such an expedient, and by
geological investigators in the ad-
miralty's service that ample sup
plies of oil are to be found in Brit
aims own colonies.
GET FIRST YEARS SUPPLY IN
AMERICA.
The first years supply, it is
agreed, must come from America
and from European continental
sources, and the actual ordering of
100.0 900 tons, or about $4,000 900 gal
gallons of oil, at price said to APP
proximate 1882 per ton removes the
last doubt that the equipment of the
worlds greatest navy is In the act
ual process of the most startling
revolution since steam supplanted
sails.
The initial 100000 tons falls far
short of the quantity the admiralty
expects to need, however, before
the colonies resources can be
tapped. Fuel tanks with capacity
of 500, 1000 tons have already been
constructed at Turnchapel, on the
Hedway. in the Plymouth. Cate

which must be filled from the same
sources as those whence the first
100000 tons have been ordered.
Less important changes in Eng
lands present warships are In
volved, to adapt them to the use OF
oil as fuel, than might be supposed.
Mindful of the success of the tests
II has been making for years with
small oil burning vessels, the ad-
miralty has fitted most of the larger
modern British fighting craft to use
either coal or oil. The newest tor
pedo boats and destroyers, indeed,
are built to burn oil alone. In none
