LoMATIC SITUATION.

New York, Feb 25.-Robert Lansing
counsellor for the state department, ii
a speech before 700 alumni of Amherst
College. at their annual banquet here
tonight declared that these were crit
ical days for the United States, "how
critical only those who are in intimate
touch with affairs can realize
The European war he said, had rails
ed a series OF problems which never be-
fore had been solved and "the liability
of error. the danger of unintentional
partialitv and the constant complaint
of one or another of the belligerents
makes the path of neutrality rough
and uncertain
Mr. Lansing expressed disapproval
of the suggestion that diplomatic OF
6cers be placed under civil service
rules and defended President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan against criticism
that they failed to retain diplomats
who had been named by former ad-
ministrationS.
Il must say the emphatic opinions
of some of our former representatives
are rather amusing when one consid'
ers that they would never have been
appointed under civil service rules, y
said Mr. Lansing.

weeks getting things in shape. and the

any course Washington has ever had
The club house is sure to prove an at

ing. Memberships in the club have
grown largely and this fall there will

Several luncheons and parties already
have been made up for the first week
of the meeting. Col Winn has made
plans for a special train to be run
from New York every day. leaving the
Metropolis at a. m, and reaching
Laurel Park at o'clock. 1t is expect
ed that many New York business men
who are unable to get away for an eN-
tended period will take advantage of
this train service to spend a day at
Laurel. Excursions also will be run
from surrounding towns in Maryland.
Horsemen have begun to arrive at the

The first important stable to reach
Laurel Park was that of James Butler.

last year carried off many of the
stakes. The Butler horses came in

Manager Winn announced yesterday
that there will be no steeplechases run
during the meeting. Col. Winn expects
next year to have as fine a jumping
course as can be found, and he has laid
out a new. track, which will eliminate
the necessity of running over the hill
at the upper turn. Under the new ar
rangement the horses will race in the
field and finish on the inside as at
Pimlico. This new course has been
sown in grass. and by next fall, it is
expected, it will have a good sod and

Forty-seven candidates for the George

yesterday and Coach Exendine put this
same forty-seven into the scrimmage

Maryland Agriculture College eleven from
College Park. The Hilltoppers landed the
verdict in the scoring line by 13 to q
count.
The Blue and Gray eleven were the first
to face the Marylanders. and tallieS two
touchdowns against the Orange and Black
collegians. While the other members OF
the Hilltop squard We're unable to do any
scoring against the Marylanders, coach
Byrd's collegians pushed the pigskin
across the goal line in the final quarter
when the third eleven faced them.
1t took the varsity seven minutes to
register their first tally. Gromley helped
matters considerably by tearing off a 30
yard run through the left side of the
Maryland line while Gilroy carried the
ball within striking distance through a
great piece of open field running. After
the first tally was made Mcnamara was
placed in quarterback in place of Malo-
ney and Immediately circled right end for
10 yards, which was the longest run of
the day.
After a series Of line plays Dempsey
went over for the second and last tally
for the Blue and Gray. The Maryland
eleven were able to make but one first
down on the varsity team but against
the second and third elevens they showed
to good advantage.
After using the forward pass for good
gains, Coggins was given the ball on
short end run and circled the left flank
of the Hilltoppers for the Marylanders'

land team has not been out for any length
of time the showing they made against
the Hilltoppers was more than expected.
