DESIGN COMPLETED

With New and Lighter Engine
Than Gasoline Burners.

The Bureau of Engineering Of the
Navy Department believes it has a new
Diesel oil-burning motor that will
eventually replace gasoline engines
aboard small boats of the service. Ex-
periments carried forward at Annapo-

Of gasoline.
! More than 1000 small craft used to
take liberty parties from battleships and
cruisers and other large vessels be-
tween ship and shore and for trans
portation of supplies are available to
be equipped with the oil-burning mo-
tor, If further tests dictate that course.
The department is considering CIV
ing test to one OF the boats equipped
with the new motor under actual serv-
ice conditions to aid It In its decision.
