SECURITY LEAGUE |S
 PRONOUNCED GUILTY

WASHINGTON. March 3.-Failure of the National Security League to file an itemized statement of expenses made during the last congressional campaign was declared a direct viola ton of the corrupt practices act, in a report submitted to the house today by the special committee appointed to investigate the leagues activities.
 The report, which was read by Chairman Benjamin Johnson, was signed by six of the seven members of the committee. Representative Walsh of Massachusetts filed a minority re- port. While commendihg the league for having done a patriotic work, he criticised it's officials for having been evasive while testifying before the committee. He also testified that the league probably had violated the cor rupt practices act.
 It was charged in the majority re- port that the league was supported by the large interests of the country, which made enormous profits as the result of the entrance of the United States into the war, and that it's plea of doing a patriotic work was only a mask behind which it could secure the big interests and protect them in the reconstruction period

HIGH COURT FAVORS
 ESPIONAGE STATUTE

WASHINGTON, March 3.--While not directly on the question of the consti- nationality of the espionage act, the su- preme court, in disposing of proceed ngs involving interpretation of that statute tOdav, in effect held that the so-called enlistment section is not an interference with the right of freedom of speech provided for by the consti- tuition.
 When a nation is at war the court held in an opinion rendered by Justice Holmes, many things that might be said in time of peace are such a hin- drance to it's effort that their utterance will not be endured so long as men fight. and no court could regard them as protected by any constitutional right"
 The opinion was rendered in sustain ing convictions of Charles T. Schenck and Elizabeth Baer of Philadelphia who were charged with attempting to interfere with army enlistments by sending through the mails to men of draft ages circulars discussing sub jects relative to the war
 The court also. in effect, sustained the convictions of Kate Richards O'Hare in North Dakota, under the es- pionage act. by refusing to review her case. and also the conviction of Abra- ham l.. Baumgard of Minneapolis. Ap- peals from conviction under the es- pionage act of Eugene V. Debs and Jacob Frohwerk of Kansas City were not disposed of today.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Repre- sentative La Guardia of New York, republican, a majority in the air service during the war, speaking in the house tonight in support of the league of na- tions plan, declared that every one of the two million American soldiers who were sent to France would favor plan which would foraver end war. The soldiers knew what fighting was, he said, and for that reason would tolerate no partisan effort to defeat President Wilson in his efforts for a world so- ciety.
 This is not a political question" MT. La Guardia said. Tt is a question which has back of it the American people. During the war the great cry was to stand behind the president and win the war. We want to stand behind him now and put through an agreement that will make another war impossible.7

Welcomes Argentina

Secretaries Baker, Daniels and HOuS- ton called at the executive offices this afternoon and tonight. A. Mitchell Palmer, who becomes attorney-gen eral tomorrow, conferred with the president.
 In welcoming the new Argentine en- voy, MT. Wilson expressed apprecia- tion for the friendship of the great South American republic and prom ised all possible assistance for the maintenance of harmonious relations between the two countries.
 Tt is cause for congrstulation, Mir. Wilson said, "that notwithstanding the dislocation of relations inevitable in such a critical period, the relations between our two countries have shown no strain and the friendship between our peoples has remained 'unimpaired
 With the return of more stable conditions. many difficulties which still hamper us will gradually decrease so that we can even now look forward with hope to the full resumption of all normal activities.
 Ut is, therefore. a propitious mo- ment for us to strengthen further the friendly ties that unite our nations and our peoples more closely together. By promoting closer relations between them, greater cooperation and a more just appreciation of each other will ensue. and the danger of misunder- standing will be minimized.
 You can rely on the cordial CO., operation of this government in all your efforts to attain this object"
 Among the bills signed today by President Wilson was the rivers and harbors bill. and the measure validat- ing s1,750.O0O000 worth of informal war contracts.
 Plans for the presidents departure tonight remained unchanged. He will go from the capitol to the train, ar- irving in New York about S:30 D. m He will go direct to the Metropolitan Opera House to speak on the league ot nations.
 Attorney General Gregory, who re- tires from office tomorrow formally announced that he would accompany President Wilson on his return tc France. He said he was not going as adviser to the president at the peace conference, as had been understood 1 in Washington, but would represent | the government ''in one or two mat | ters." and return in thirty or forty ! days.
