American horse racing has virtually
been expatriated to Canada and JuareZ,
Mexico. The Agnew-Hart act, holding
directors Of racing associations respon-
sible in their own persons for infringe
ments OF the betting laws. has practically
ended horse racing in New York. Until
the new mile track was opened Saturday
last at Havre de Grace, Md. the prospect
was that racing in 1917 within the limits
OF the United States would be confined to
Pimico. Nd: Latonia and Louisville. Ky,
and Jacksonville, Fla. The opening of the
new course gives encouragement not

The Guard Back Home.

The 1,J0o members OF tho National
Guard of the District who returned home
yesterday from the annual encampme ent
at Harpers Ferry have undoubtedly been
practically benefited by their experience
during the past fortnight. They have
had training in the actual duties OF SOL
diers. i'm the maintenance OF sanitary
encampment. in drill and In the closest
possible approach to actual war work in
the field. The best results OF this en-
campment have doubtless come from the
disciplinary training TO which these citi-
zen soldiers have been subjected in the
course OF the two weeks at camp. They
have learned the difference between
armory drills and ceremonial parades on
the one hand and real soldering on the
other. IL there is any disposition now
in the National Guard TO look upon this
self-assumed duty as a mere social di-
version and pleasure these annual
camps are serviceable in correcting it.
The camp tends TO weed out those who
are at heart not good soldiers, who like
the privilege of wearing a uniform but
are indisposed TO take the hard knocks
and do the often disagreeable work that
falls TO the lot OF the man in the ranks.
1t Is always well to put this test TO
those who take on the responsibilities OF
the militia. \ National Guard is some
thing that may never be really needed,
but when 1t is required ii is OF the ut
most value, and TO he a real reliance It

the adoption by the Senate OF A rcsolu-

The President las been fully justified

principle that in dealing with the Central

but other foreigners in those lands. To

Action in Nicaragua.
.om the New York Tribune.


The sending of United States troops
from the Canal Zone to Nicaragua the
order for which was withdrawn last night,
but may have to be renewed before long,
would have been an unusual but no; un-
precedented incident. IL 1t is legitimate
to land dozen marines on waterfront
to protect an American Office or resi-
dence. II is equally legitimate to land a
regiment of infantry and send it dozen
miles inland for the same purpose. 1t is
as much an invasion to land a marine
as an infantryman. and to occupy the
shore as to march to the heart of the
country. On former occasions the United
States has done both. with entire justifi-
cation and without any reasonable re-
proach. The justification in any case is
that of necessity for the protection of
American citizens and their property.
