Dec. .'It. The French dele gation at Washington. It was under stood in official iiiarters here today, already has given henrly assent te the application of international law te tlie opcisJtlen of submarines, which, In the Freilch interpretation, satisfies the de ninnd of Great Itrltiiin that submarines In time of war be prohibit) 1 from tor pedoing mcrchnnt ships. "The idea that France might some dny want te use the torpedo ns it wns used in the cne of the Lusltania Is ab surd," said a high official at the Quay d'Orsay te thp Associated Press cor respondent today. Official comment en the Hritish ntti ntti tude toward the French 'delegation con cerning the submarine Issue was re fused, but it was apparent that official circles were much surprised ut whnt they termed the sharpness of tone In the comment of Arthur J. Halfeur, head of the Hritish delegation. It appears te be impossible for rrench minds te understand wh flrent Hrltain should maintain a Meet of linlf a million , tens of aggressive ships while denjing Fnnce nn adequate tlcet of ubmnrtnes and mixllini'j craft for her own protec tion. The difficulty in understanding this attitude wns relleeted in the com lnent of n Inch breach nfiicial tedav. Speaking of submarines, one official said le the correspondent : "We have wild all along that it was necessary te fix the status of these craft before taking up the subject of limitation of tonnage. Se we cannot see what justification any one can have for (tiestiening our geed faith in the nintter." The French delegation nt Washing ton, it wa said, has instructions en this point as well as concerning tlie tnnunge of auxiliary thins. Aceerding te tlie official view here, the Washing ton delegation needs no further directing.
