Washington, November q.
NAVAL ADVANCE BASES.-Taking a
lesson from the Turkish war, the Navy
Department has taken an important step
toward the establishment of a central
depot, where will be accumulated all the
material required for ships in action, In
anticipation of sudden call for supplies.
This relates mostly to ordnance stores,
such as may not be obtained in the open
market and require time to produce.
Each year 1t is proposed TO add to tho
stock, keeping 1t up TO date as TO types.
Some Of 1t will be issued for purposes of
Organization and drill, but all OF 1t can
easily be brought to any one point or sew
eral points and placed on board ship.
1t is intended to use II primarily In the
construction of advance bases, which Will
be maintained by the marine corps.
