Old Laws to Combat u. S. Rule.
BY the Assorin ted Press.


PARIS, May 3.-The merchant
marine ministry is delvins into old
laws which might form the basis of a
campaign OF reprisal against Ameri-
the Cnited States Supreme Courts
decision With regard to liquor being
illegal on all vessels within the ter
Titorial waters Of the United States
Al the min 'stry il was suggested
that the French law requiring meat
coming within French TERRITORY to be
inspected by veterinarians might be
applied to meat aboard all American
ships entering French waters. Another
law which. it was said. could be
brought in force was that dealing
with the method OF construction OF
vessels The enforcement of this
would compel American vessels to
obey the same laws as French ships
1t was pointed out that il some doz-
ems of other such laws were applied
no American ships could possibly

beware of old-style trusses with un.

the pad on the lump and not at the

serious trouble resulting in strangu-
