FRENCH NOTIFIED {.
 OF LIQUOR RULES
Formal Advices Reach Paris Relative to U. s. Prohibition Regulations
 on Ships.

F Paris, Oct. 1S (By Associated Press-Formal advices that the sale or liquor on nsships is prohibited within the three mile limit in United States waters was received by the American embassy today for transmission to the French government
 The state department message made no reference, it is stated, to any pro- hibition or restriction on the possess sion of liquor on ships
 It therefore had been understood in French government circles and by French shipping that it was the Washington intention to apply the ruling strictly so that even the pos- session of liquor, whether under lock or seal, would be violation of the law even if no liquor had been sold.
 This ruling was received in French official and shipping circles as in no way interfering with the customary practice on vessels of teasing the sale of liquor when the three mile limit had been reached. It was also looked upon as not interfering with issue of customary rations of wine to the crews of French ships
 NJ. Rio, under secretary of state for merchant marine said "On the face. of it, this leaves the situation where 1t was before. There has been much ado about nothing Now French ships can carry the liquor they wish, provided they seal the stocks when they reach the three mile limit"
