Great Britain baa suspended the Issuance of permits for shipment of hospital sup plies of any description from the United States to Germany, Austria Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey. This became known tonight, and at the same time it was learned that the State department at the Instance of the American Red Cross had made representations to the London for eign office seeking withdrawal or modification of the new order. Until recently the British government and Its allies exempted from the block ad order-ln-councll practically all hos pital supplies except rubber goods such ss gloves, worn by surgeons snd nurses, blankets, tubing, etc.. Kfforts to secure admission of the rubber artlclen were un successful, the British authorities explain ing that to permit them to go Into enemy territory would release a corresponding amount of rubber for the manufacture of auto tires snd other military necessi ties. Now the prohibition haa been extended to all supplies and large consignments, gathered at New York by the Rid Cross for shipment to the central powers are being held In storage. This situation will be considered at tha meeting of the executive committee of tha Red Cross In New Tork tomorrow as the entire pro gram for tha society for relief work In Europe will be Effected If Great Britain refuse to change Its attitude. The United States hss called the atten tion of tha foreign office to an agree ment between the belligerents soon after the beginning of the war upon a compre hensive list of medical storea, which were to be allowed to pass freely into all coun tries. Officials her think permission for the movement of articles named on this list, at least, will be obtained.

J. Balfour, first lord of the admiralty. Lord Robert Cecil's speech was In the nature of a general defense of the foreign office. He denied rumors of dissension in the cabinet or dis sensions among the allies and of pro- German influence in the foreign office. He announced that the for eign office would shortly issue a white paper stating the principles on which the British blockade of Ger many Is based. Cabinet Is Vetted. "Until tha resignation of one or more members of the cabinet," he said" every one Is bound to accept the view that It Is united on the main lines of Its policy. Aa to the unity of the allies, they have carried on the war In a manner which. If one considers history. Is a really un exampled performance of unity. "Suggestions have been made recently in various forms that someone In the for eign office is in the pay of Germany, or. at least Is pro-German. This is grotesque and serious charge. It ahows that there are soma people who are un able to stand th strain of war and become mere nyatencai neurotics, wnen tilings aren't going right for the moment such people think the proper course is to turn on the men who are trying to serve their country and shout 'Traitor! traitor!'

"I assure the house that everything that could be legitimately dona to pre vent gooda going Into Germany has been done. One of the members of the House of Commons has ssid th only way to blockade Germany la to go to war with the neutral countries sustaining Germany. It Is to say moat frankly that thla Is not the policy of the government. The great difficulty In a blockade la to discriminate between gooda with an enemy destination and thoae for consumption in neutral countries. "As to our Balkan policy th aim throughout has been to produce In those unhappy countries unity Instead of d la- cord.
