French ambas sador to the United Ktates on his arrival today on tho Parts from Frame asserted thai in the face of ths recent "bone dry" ruling of At torney General Daugherty which prohibits the ue or ctirrlaKe of any liquors on vessels entering American ports from France can abide only by the laws of France. Ho added however, that no action would be taken by the French embassy in Washinirton un til the Supreme Courtf lias passed upon thu ruling. "French ships are a part of the territory of France," said the Am bassador, ""and I believe tbat you properly claim your carriers arc part of the United States where evcr they may be. The laws of France, passed, several years ago in our parliament, state that one half a bottle of wine must be served to the sailors on French vessels and a full bottle to the stokers. As such wine contains probaVy ninety per cent of water, I can hardly see that it (s danger ous for men on ships to drink."
