CONTINUING SMALL YARDS.

Although 1t has been the desire OF
the navy department to abolish num-
Der of the smaller southern navy
yards, it now seems possible that the
adoption of a new policy Of specialize
ton will result in the continuance OF
all plants in active service. The idea
would be to have each station cover
some particular field of naval work OF
serve as a training station or base Of
supplies.
Already, as q result Of recent ex
periences there, the department has
decided that hereafter all torpedo boats
and destroyers shall be retubed at the
Charleston, s. C. yard. This means
that the Charleston plant practically
will be the mother yard" of torpedo
boats, and consequently 1t will be
very busy place in the future. There
are q great many of these little yes
sells in the service now and the plani
of naval stategists contemplate quad
.rupling the number in q few years.
An illustration of what the Charles
ton yard can do was furnished recent
ly, when one Of the torpedo boat
bound for New York to participate II

der and put in there. The Charleston
mechanics agreed to replace the cylin

into crust and baked. Some

BALLOU At THE
NAVY LEAGUE

Judge s. NJ. Ball,u rethrncd to 10
nolulu this morning by the Wilhel
nina When seen at his Office he
stated that he left here to attend the
conference Of the Navy League held I'm
Angeles early this month.
Mr., Ballou attended banquet at
the Hotel Alexander and was one of
the after-dinner speakers. The origi.
nal program included visit to the
armOred cruisers at San Pedro, but as
the vessels were ordered to San Diego
for maneuvers, this part had to be
abandoned. The San Diego Chamber
of Commerce, however seized the OPP
portunity, and extended an invitation
to the members to go to that port and
inspect the vessels This was accept
ed.
While on the coast he heard from
Chief of the Bureau on Engineering
Cone, who stated that the government
had i'm future resolved to design all
Lattleships to burn oil exclusively.
This is one of the ideas advocated by
Judge Ballou in mis- paper submitted to
the conference.
