When the France, of the French Line,
arrived yesterday, Its officers and crew
cheered the news that they would not
be deprived Of wine with their meals
while IN port this time. They had
been informed by wireless three days

that this would not be necessary. These

OF the pier.

he had expected no trouble from his
crew even IL the bone dry law had been
enforced. He based this opinion on tho
