London. Oct. Is tBy the Associated

granted the Cunard line, the British

against the ruling prohibiting liquors
on foreign ships in American waters,
II was stated in Official quarters to-
day. Officials here, however, express
the opinion that an injunction will be
granted in the American courts.
II is understood the government
takes the attitude of remaining in
the background and allowing the pri-
,ate lines to take the lead, but that
It will intervene in the event of the
failure Of these efforts.
