‘ , { * ALASKAN COAL USE PLAN FOR | _ PROIFIG SHIPS) Navy Department Declares It .. Will Make Fleet Self- i sustaining DEVELOPING FIELDS Washington, Aug. 17—The’ Pacific fleet of the navy is to be made self- sustaining, so far as fuel is concern- ed, as a result of orders given by Secretary of Navy Daniels, following his recent visit to Alaska. Heretofore, all fuel for navy ves- sels, operating in the Pacific, has been transperted from eastern coal fields by colliers—a tedious and cost- ly process. No coal fields along the Pacific coast yielded fuel of suffi- ciently high quality for navy uses. In addition to the heavy expense of cagrying coal from Atlantic ports to vessels stationed in the Pacific, there existed also the objection that in time of war operations of the Pacific fleet might be crippled by the cutting 1 off of supplies. Excellent Coal Yield. _Up in Alaska, however, along the line of the government’s own railroad the Chikaloon coal field yields a fue of excellent quality. Navy tests made prior to our entrance into tht Great War, proved its efficiency,but war delayed any development of the t field. Now, however, . work is’ going ac- tively forwau i/tbienet this Alaskai: coal out of tf utd and to-naval coaling portsto ‘be developed in aska, so that hereafter the Pacific will. be independent of the Atlantic in fuel fo; hen fleet. ‘Wiles in Charge.
