ALLIES ARRANGE
OIL PIPE LINE TO
BIG NAVAL BASE

London, Thursday, Nov. 21-The
inter-allied petroleum council has
been visiting Scotland during the
last few days, attending the formal
inauguration of a pipe line laid
across Scotland along the Clyde
Forth canal to secure a continuous
supply of fuel oil for the British
naval base at Rosyth. The pri-
mary object of this pipe line, which
can deliver 100 tons of oil per hour
and is the longest in Europe, is to
avert the necessity of tank steam
ers around Scotland 20 the east
coast and thus to diminish the loss
of tank steamers by submarine at
taCks.
Construction was begun in March
and completed Nov. IL Rear Ad-
miral H. H. d. TOthill, fourth Brit
ish admiral, declared at the inaug-
uration that the speedy completion
of the scheme was largely due to
"Our good friends in the United
States who went over the pipe line
and provided pipe and also the nee
essary hustle and determination to
overcome all difficulties"
