FIRST naval power in the Pacific, was de-
manded In resolutions adopted by the Ma
tional Security Leagues Congress on Con-
structive Patriotism at its closing session

The congress also went on record for a
broader military and naval policy urging
as Of the most pressing importance in
the national defense scheme, universal

1Onal security as ms stdNe' lc dsSeit-
ed that the idea of enforcing peace
through a concert Of nations" was i'm
practicable.
Instead OF devising schemes for uni
versal peace" he said, I'VE should
strengthen our fiabby muscles and make
our country secure. God save us from
Monroe Doctrine of the world, which
would force US to do the bidding of an
international tribunal, or to plunge this
country into a European or Asiatic war
in which we have no concern. That is
precisely our obligation II we join a
league to secure world peace"
Control by Americans Of their overseas
transportation was advocated by P. H.

defense factor. He advocated such leg
islation as will make it permanently
profitable for Americans to invest their
capital In projects toward the maintain
ance OF the American merchant marine.
Herbert Myrick, of Springfield. Mass.
urged as a vital step in world peace, SO
far as the United States is concerned.
the restoration Of peace in Mexico. Sub

Mrs. Alice WheeIdon and Daughter Conspiring to Murder Lloyd George, and Are Sentenced for Long Pe- riOds of Imprisonment.

LONDON, March 12.- Mrs. Alice Whceldon was convicted Saturday in the Old Bailey court of conspiracy to assassinate Premier Lloyd George and was sentenced to penal servitude for a period of ten years. Her daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Mason was also con victed and sentenced term of five years and her son-ia-iaw, Alfreh Ma son, was found guilty and sentenced to a term of seven years.
 The parties are all American c,ti- zens who have been living in London fo. a number of years. and it is said their strong pro-German expressions were responsible for their arrest. The evidence was circumstanttal, but the prisoners admitted that they would not grieve any at the Premier s demise, and that they had often stat ed they wished he would die, but had no thought of harming him, and that ttcir expressions nmanated more from sympathy with Germany thar from hatred of Lloyd George.
 They have appealed to the .Ameri- can ambassador.
