COAL EMBARGO.
French Ban On British Imports. BRITAIN AFFECTED. PARIS, June 10. The embargo on the importation into France of coal for railways, tho Navy, gas and electricity and the requirement that licenses must be obtained for the import of other coal, after a brief postponement, came into operation to-day. The British Ambassador, thi Marquess of Crewe, as a last effort, consulted the Foreign Minister. M. Briand, who said the action of the Government was imperatively necessary, as the pit-heads of the French mines were choked with coal, and the unrestricted importation of coal would mean increased unemployment among French miners. M. Briand promised to grant licenses to British exporters to the fullest possible extent.
