DISCUSSION BY
PRESIDENT AND
HIS CABINET

Washington, Feb. 10 Tho ruthless
German submarine campaign and i's
effects on the United States were dis
cussed late today by President Wilson
and his cabinet. The meeting lasted
only an hour and afterward il was said
no new steps had been decided on.
Aiming Of American merchantmen
and the economic effects Of the partial
tic-up of shipping out Of American
ports were the subjects on which the
cabinet centcred attention. Secretary
McAdoo is compiling list Of vessels
held in port. and Secretary Redfield is
making a comprehensive analysis Of the
inroads which submarines are making
on shipping generally.
The government is considering the
different phases of tho situation that
have developed since the break in rela-
tions with Germany including the DC
tcntion of the Yarrowdalc prisoners, the
crisis in Austria, the plight of Amcri-
cans i'm TURKEY. and Belgian relief High
officials took pains today, however to
emphasize that tho great fundamental
problem before the nation is the illegal
submarine campaign itself Against this
campaign the United States has made
the most vigorous protest possible short
of war, hut the administration realizes
that so long as it permits American
ships to he held in port for fear of at
tack by submarines it in effect is ac-
quicscing in the German policy.
This state of affairs it is admitted,
cannot be permitted to continue indeti-
nitcly.

BAN JOHNSON OVERSTEPS
 IN REGARDING EXEMPTION
Praises Showing of His Own League and Makes Many Serious Charges
 Against N. L. Moguis.

Ban Johnson, president of the American league, and for several years regarded as one of the shrewdest men in baseball, seems to have lost his head as result of the criticism which his proposal to exempt 2SS ball play CTS has aroused throughout the coun- try. Johnson in his attempt to de- fend his proposal has come. out with some rather strong statements, if he is correctly quoted by I. E. Sanborn, the veteran baseball critic of the Chi cago Tribune
 The statement that Johnson had charged certain club owners with hav- ing enough political influence to pre- vent their teams being riddled by the draft while others are shot to pieces is false. according to 8 telegram re- ceived from the president of the Amer ican league today.
 Sanborn, who is a close personal friend of Johnson, is not given to sensationalism and has a national reputation for accuracy The Chica- go critic in a recent article in which he quotes Johnson, says:
 My sole idea in making the sug- gestion to permit the reservation from draft of Is splayers for each major league club was to overcome the diff baseball. If I have been successful in that am satisfied and we shall have the situation thoroughly threshed out and ascertain where we stand.
  tional league is not in sympathy with what he calls a selfish plan,' and as- serts his league will continue to help the government in every way possible
 But I have yet to learn that Gov ernor Tener or any other club owner in the National league has offered to help the government by personally volunteering his services in any mili- tary. capacity. In war times deeds, not words, are a measure of a man 8 patriotism. The American league aI- ready has one of its club owners, Captain Huston. serving the nation as leader of an engineers corps in France. Another club owner. James Dunn, has offered himself and his en- tire construction company for ser vice in France. And I am still hope full that the war department will ac- cept my services, offered without any reservation whatever.
 NO one can charge the America n league or myself with lack of patriot ism until they can show 8 greater willingness for personal sacrifice and risk. Before I quit baseball for gov ernment service would like to see professional baseball on some definite basis for the duration of the war
 Tt is a certainty the survival of the sport as public eutertainm rests with the major leagues They will perpetuate the game in some form or other in the face of heavy losses, but if the club owners are compelled to fill the ranks of their teams with

 Traps have been placed in position at all of the aviation schools in Amer ica, ard a number have been installed in the camps of the American aviation forces and behind the lines of Persh- ings army in France Eighty six traps in all have been purchased by the government The traps sent to France are to be used for recreation purposes, while the ones installed in thsi country are for instruction pur- poses only.
 In due course of time traps will he placed at every cantonment, and there will be instructors to teach the proper method in shooting at clay targets. In taking up trapshooting the govern ment gives voice to the opinion that men who can handle the shotgun, and trapshooters, are of material aid to
 warfare. l..
 q 36 Traps in Operation.
 With s6 traps in operation untold quantities of clay targets will be need ed. The first order placed was for three million t3000, ,o00) equally di- vided between America and France. Tine clay target makers have a stand ing order of 1000 clay birds each week, to be distributed among the various schools and cantonments The action of the government in adopting trapshooting will have a beneficial effect on clay target shoot ing when, the war is over! Making the cartonnrents and aviation schools shows that there is something back of it besides sport-that it has real founda tion.
 Government appropriation will make trapshooting a major sport.
