The Navy Was Ready.

The navy was ready when war be- gan. Like Won Moltke's army in the Franco-Prussian war. it had only to go ahead with plans arranged in ad- vance. It has not had to change it's organization. It has simply increased in size, at every point, and gone over the top.

THE RACE TRACKS.

The Sun has always had the great
est sympathy with the efforts to
maintain and sustain the Pimlico race
track. 1t is one of Baltimore's his
toric institutions. 1t presents fine,
colorful appearance on spring or au-
tumn days when superb horses are
flying around the course and the
stands are filled with interested on
lockers. 1t has generally, if not al
ways. been conducted scrupulously by
true lovers of sport Even if we adj

desirable thing. the good in a track
Of this sort outweighs the evil. and
we should be sorry to see it closed.
But il is all too apparent that rae
ing generally in Maryland, under the
existing laws, has become a gambling
business, the evil of which, in the
States as a whole, far outweighs the
good. Suppression of racing else

where has had the effect of stimulat-
ing the business here and of bring
ing undesirable elements into the
State. The gambling feature makes
the business an enormously profitable
one and enables those who profit by
it, if they haven't the will or sufficient
strength to resist the temptation, TO
spend large sums of money in infiu
encing legislation. Such an article as
that printed in The Sun last Tuesday
throws an illuminating light upon the
racetrack situation in Maryland at
the present moment
A continuance of these conditions
cannot be tolerated. They are a re-
Election upon the good name of the
State and must be stamped out. If
the Pimlico track could be exempted
from the necessary legislation, we
should like to see that done. but if
not, it, too, must pay the penalty
which the misdeeds OF some of the
benefciaries of the tracks have made
nevitable.-Baltimore Sun.

A GOOD BILL,

A bill passed the Senate a few days
ago requiring all vehicles, horse
drawn or otherwise. while in motion
or standing upon public highways to
display at least one white light from
half an hour after sunset TO half an
hour before sunrise.
For several years efforts have been
made TO secure the enactment of such
a law and the enactment of it now
certainly does ont come any too soon.
Since automobiles have become so
numerous II has been dangerous both
for the automobile and the horse
drawn vehicle to travel on the high
ways without some kind of light Of
ten horse-drawn vehicles travelling or
standing upon public highways have
collided with the automobile because
it was impossible for the later to de-
tect these vehicles without any light,
and many serious accidents have re-
suited therefrom. That many more
accidents have not happened seems
to be marvellous.
We are glad TO see the enactment of
this law and hope that it will be
strictly complied with; if it is not the
authorities should see that it is COM
piled with, for it means much towards
avoiding accidents and protecting hu-
man lives.

DRY ANNAPOLIS,

At four O'Clock this afternoon Sec
rotary Daniels order issued last
week relative to closing the saloons
within five miles of any cantonment
or naval station goes into effect and
the Ancient City goes "bone-dry."
The order does not only close all the
saloons Of Annapolis, but the clubs as
well.
We believe that this order is but
the beginning of the end, that once
Annapolis is made dry it will remain
so for a long time to come. That after
a dry Annapolis is tried out for
while. IL will prove successful and the
people will not want to go back to
wet Annapolis again.
Even If this is not true. there is
another reason that Annapolis will
remain dry; it is because the senti-
ment seems to be increasing strongly
for the adoption of the national prohi-
bition amendment. Twenty-six States
are already in the dry column, and it
is necessary only for ten other States
20 adopt the amendment to effect its
ratification, provided there are no
backslders among these twenty-six
dry States. Three wet States-Mary-
land, Kentucky and Texas-have al
ready gone into the dry column.
New York, a wet State, has refused to
Tatify the amendment. but passed a
referendum. However, if the same
percentage of the remaining wet
States go over to the dry column as
they have TO date, and the twenty-six
dry States ratify the amendment, the
nation will be dry anyway very soon
Just as soon as enough State legis-
latures meet and ratify the amend
ment
There seems TO be much specula
tion as TO what the result of this or
der will be i'm Annapolis, both moral
~ and from a business standpoint.
Some contend that not even an order
promulgated and backed up by the
Federal authorities, as this will be,

order Is intended to reach. and there
fore conditions will be worse; while
others claim IL will be better. and
still others say II will make no ma
terial difference. that things will go
along about the same as they have.
We are inclined to be optimistic in
the matter. and firmly believe that
conditions will naturally get better.
No matter what the result may be,
however, it is our duty to stand by
the government in this hour of peril.
This order was issued for the better
ment of the service of our army and
navy and of the young men in train
ing. and it behooves every patriotic
citizen to put aside his personal feel
ings in the matter and cooperate
with the authorities to make the or
der effective.

HAVE NO USE IN COMMERCE
Almost No Possibility That Submarine
Boats VIII Ever Be Employed
as Cargo Carriers.

One point about submarines which
is being settled for many years to
come, If not forever, is that there Is
peace.
II they ever had a chance Of profit
able employment. In carrying cargoes
or passengers, that opportunity would
be found now. Germany has a few
ports open to her ships in neutral coun-
tries, If vessels in the service of Ger
man owners could get there, and in
some of them freight might be found
which is much needed in Germany.
But no commercial submarines are
ever reported to be visiting the har-
bors of Spain or Chile or Mexico or
Colombia.
And now is the time when the great
est maritime countries on the other
side in the world war might be tempt
ed to use submarines for practically
complete security from other subma-
rines If the economic obstacles were
not too formidable. The fact that
nothing is done with Submersibies In
trade between countries whose coasts
are menaced by the German U-boats Is
convincing evidence that the subma-
rine has no commercial future.
II would be rash to predict that the
exploit of the Deutschland will never
be duplicated under the conditions Of
war. Circumstances may some time
Justify such use of submarines for
brief period. But business fleets Of
submerSibles are destined to remain an
Inventors dream.

Titled Lady as Shoemaker.

it is an interesting fact that, al
though the women of the United King
dom have invaded most employments
that formerly were followed chiefly by
men, the shoemaking trade has not ex-
perienced much change In this respect.
Yet, something over a hundred years
ago, shoemaking was one of the SEM
Payments OF high society" in London.
Lady Sarah Spencer, in letter to her
brother, written about the year 1SOS,
says: an the evening we divide our
time between music and shoemaking,
which is now the staple trade OF the
family. I am today in state of great
vanity, for I have made pair of shoes
there is news for you. So If all
other trades fail / shall certainly es-
tablish myself, cross-legged, at the cor
ner Of an alley to earn livelihood In
the midst Of leather, avis and ham
mers."
