WASHINGTON. Dec. g. - Fresh
trouble stirred today between the
United States and England. This re-
suited from Great Britaln's oniciai

like many others. hampers American
commerce - namely. restrictions on
supplying ship coal at her stations

ment intends TO do all II may 10 alter
this policy. but little hope was held
out by British authorities that there
can be any material change for the
present.
In brief. the new restrictive pol
icy Is that England cannot guarantee
TO furnish bunker coal at her cOaling
ports, except to vessels engaged in
lines beneficial to the Allies. other
wise, vesselsmay-Rnd frequently have
been-halted for days awaiting Eng

England offers what she regards as
a perfectly legitimate excuse-that
German submarines have reduced the
carrying trade, and England needs her
vessels for other than coal carrying
purposes The United States has re-

had no opportunity yet 10 formulate a
full policy toward the publicly an

If the United States can accomplish
much more than putting herself on
record in protest. though everything
will be done 10 affect a modification.
