The Times calls attention TO the new regulations

the use of coal in the navy and says they deserve
attention in England, although our expenditure Of
coal has never been lavish that which provoked
the interference of the American Navy Department.
The American Government is taking the most de-
eisivO measures to abate waste Cruisers are re-
stricted to allowances Of coal, which must not be
exceeded This economy is not without drawbacks;
tie use of sails which it requires at times involves
the expense for rigging and increased crews But,
