LONDON, Aug. 9-All of Europe is

Whether the marriage is in Turkey,
Germany, Austria or England. interest

Cheer for Oil Kings.
Naval men are still interestedly dis
cussing the statement of Winston
Churchill, first lord Of the admiralty,
predicting the abolition in the near fu-
ture of coal as fuel for warships and
the substitution of oil. Lord Churchill
also asserted that the time is not far
distant when the government will own
it's own source, of oil. In the opinion
of Churchill, oil makes for much greater
speed and for great saving of labor,
Great Britain is having its new super
dreadnought, the Queen Elizabeth,
which is under construction at Ports
mouth, and will be launched next au.
tumn. built without bunkers for coal.
The great vessel will burn nothing but
oil, and will be the first super-dread-
nought to use that substance as fuel.
The oil will be carried in a strongly
constructed bottom, so arranged that in
event of running aground or collision
with rock, all of the fuel would not
be lost.
