French Diplomat Protests Ruling on Ships" Liquor Anilmsharlor Makes It Plain That Strict Enforcement * of Law ^ ill Work Hardship. By Vnitersal KerTice. Washington, May 29.—Ambassador Jusserand of France was in confer ence yesterday with Secretary of the Treasury Mellon over the foreign ship liquor regulations soon to be pro mulgated by the Treasury department. The ambassador made it plain to the secretary that a strict enforce ment of the American dry laws, as laid down in the recent ship liquor decision of the United States supreme court, would work a hardship as far as French shipping is concerned. He went into detailed explanation of how the ban on foreign ships with liquor aboard entering American ports would bring about a direct conflict with French maritime law requiring ships to carry wines and liquors as part of their crew's rations. Diplomatic representatives of other foreign governments have discussed this phase of the prohibition enforce ment with treasury officials, it was made known today. Five foreign pow ers have protested against the su preme court ruling as contradictory to their national laws. Treasury officials who are drafting the regulations to be put in effect June 10, it was stated, are endeavor ing to make the regulations work as smoothly as possible and still keep strictly within the law as defined by the court. The court opinion, how ever, gives a narrow latitude and the treasury frankly admits it cannot go very far to meet the differences with foreign governments. Treasury offi rials declare they have to observe the law as laid down by the supreme court. $500,000 Doane College Drive Opens in Omaha Doane college at Crete, Neb., offi cially set In motion its drive for $500. 000 in Omaha territory last night with a banquet followed by a meeting of trustee# and alumni of the school in the First Congregational church.
