Sudden Cessation of Attacks About
England Leads to Belief War Will

lantic Ocean.
WASHINGTON. D. C., March 12.—
Naval experts here express the belief
that the sudden cessation of subma
rine attacks about Great Britain and
France indicates that the German sub
marines have t lifted the blockade
i>bout the British Isles and are cross
ing the Atlanta to the American side
for the purpose of attacking vessels
leaving American ports. It is aimooi
certain that Germany has established
a submarine base somewhere in the
Gulf of Mexico, and that supplies for
this station are being shipped from
United States and Mexican ports.

GUILTY OF PLOT
TO KILL PREMIER
GIVEN TEN YEARS IN PRISON
.Mrs. Alice Wlieeldon and Daughter
and Son-in-l.au Are Convicted of
Conspiring to Murder l.loyd George,
and Are Sentenced for l^ing Pe
riods of Imprisonment.
LONDON, March 12. -Mrs. Alice
VVhceldon was convicted Saturday in
the Old Dailey court of conspiracy to
assassinate Premier Lloyd George anil
wa' sentenced to penal servitude for
a period of ten years Her daughter.
Mrs. Dorothy Mason was also con
victed and sentenced a term of five
years and her son-in-law. Alfred Ma
son. was found guilty and sentenced
to a term of seven years.
The parties are all American citi
zens who have been living in London
for a number of years, and it is said
their strong pro-German expressions
were responsible for their arrest.
The evidence was circumstantial, 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
their expressions emanated more from
sympathy with Germany than from
hatred of Lloyd George.
They have appealed to the Ameri
can embassador.
