Heavy Losses Inflicted.
(Aom a Staff Correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press.)
WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, May 12, via London. In a
series of attacks last night and today
the British . troops captured several
strong German positions, including one
or two which have been sources of
more or less trouble ever since the
battle of Arras began. The famous
chemical works, north of the village of
Roeux, has at last been definitely taken
possession of. as well as the Roeux
Chateau and cemetery.
The cemetery has been a very bitter
spot, the Germans having fortified the
graves into defensive positions and
turned underground vaults Into strong
holds. Southeast of Monchy the British cap
tured several pits and detached German
trenches, as well as Cavaly farm.
Bulleconrt Nearly Surrounded.
South of the Cojeul River In the
neighborhood of Bullecourt the British
materially extended their holdings In
the Hindenburg line, and tonight Bulle
court is all but surrounded by the Brit
ish lines, which Include the Austra
lians. It Is believed that the number of
prisoners in these actions will total
more than 600. About 400 men were
taken near the Chemical W.orks, most
of them Brandenburgers and Berliners.
It was a varigated assortment, this
lot including some stalwart boys who
looked splendid soldiers, while the
others were little bearded fellows, who
appeared to come from classes here
tofore rejected as unfit. All seemed
Quite defiant. There were many Ba
varians in the fighting also, but they
mostly fought to the death.
All Gains Are Held.
Near Cavaly farm the British and
Germans fought in the same trench.
After the British had swept into the
trench the Germans poured in from
the northeastern end and attempted to
bomb their way along, but the Brit
ish blocked them and held all their
grains.
The fighting north of Roeux began
last night about dusk just as a score
of British airplanes were returning
from their day's work behind the lines.
The pilots, seeing the battle in prog
ress, joined In as they passed over
and poured streams of machine gun
bullets into the German ranks. They
were cheered by the infantry and ac
knowledged the salute by looping and
firing rockets. As their ammunition
was gone, they started for home.
The heat today was intense. The
artillery men serving the guns were
stripped to the waist during the bar
rage fire. The dust along the roads
was choking.

COLOXEL IS DEEPLY GRATEFUL
Delight Is Not Conceded, but Plans
Arc Withheld.
OYSTER BAY, N. T.. May 12? Colo
nel Theodore Roosevelt made no se
cret tonight of his delight over the
action of the House, but he refused to
discuss his plans for putting a mili
tary force In the field until his au
thorization to do so becomes official.
"I am deeply grateful at what the
House has done," Colonel Roosevelt
said. "I feel they have taken a step
which is eminently wise and patriotic
toward enabling us to utilize an ele
ment in the country we would other
wise not utilize at all. This will en
able a mixed force of regulars and
volunteers to be put to the front dur
ing the time necessary for training
the great Army raised under the se
lective draft."

on the vote on the Roosevelt amend

Sinnott. of Oregon: Johnson, Hadley.
Miller and Dill, of Washington, and
French, of Idaho, voted to allow the
Colonel to raise four divisions.
Representative La Follette of Wash

though during the big fight on the
Army bill he was posing as a staunch
advocate of volunteering and opposed

many regiments unattached to divi
sional organizations.
Police Duty Possible.
One proposal is that these additional
regiments, or others substituted for
them, be assigned for police duty, re
lieving the units which soon will be
needed at training camps. In that
event, states might be encouraged to
recruit police regiments among older
men. giving them an opportunity to
serve their country without under
going the hardships of campaigning.
The older men are better fitted for
police work, and if assigned near their
homes they would constitute in effect
a definite home guard force similar
to the German landsturm and the
French territorials.
In the circular issued by the militia
bureau on May 5. it was pointed out
to the Adjutants-General of the sev
eral states that while the law granted
tne right to each state to organize
new National Guard forces up to the
limit set in the National defense act.
it. was not the purpose of the depart
ment to encourage such procedure. The
state officials were told plainly that
the department believed it wiser to
recruit all existing guard organiza
tions up to full war strength, each
regiment to be backed by a reserve
battalion from which the force at the
xront could be maintained.
750.0OO Guardsmen Possible.
Under the department's plan there
would be 12 divisions of state troops
with a number of extra regiments. The
total strength, exclusive of recruit bat
talions, would be 329,000 men with all
regiments at war strength. If the
O-uard is expanded to the full leera
limit, however, it would have a peace
strength of 402,000 and a war strength
of more than 600.000, supported by re
serve Daitanons totaling another 100
000 or 150,000 men.
If the Guard is expanded, a plan for
16 infantry and two cavalry divisions
has been prepared. A table forwarded
to the states shows the tentative
scheme of organizing, the designations.
beginning with the .fifth division, as
the first four divisions would be com
posed of regular troops. Following is
ine proposed aistriDutlon of Far-Western
infantry divisions by states, with
the peace strength quota for each
eiate:
Nineteenth Division, California, 9100;
Utah, 3200: Arizona. 240(1- rnn,.jn
4800; New Mexico, 2400; Nevada, 240o!
Oregos In 20th Division.
Twentieth Division. Washington
4300; Oregon. 3500; Montana, 3200;
Idaho. 3200: Wyoming, 2400.
In addition. Hawaii would be called
upon to supply four companies of coast
artillery, one regiment and four sepa
rate battalions of infantry, one troop
of cavalry, one company of engineers
and one battalion of signal troops.
Under this plan. 24,700 men of the
total provided for In the militia sec
tion of the naval defense act would be
reserved for the naval militia, includ
ing: Texas 500, California 1300, Wash
ington 700, Oregon 600.
The two cavalry divisions would be
organized from New York. Massachu
setts. Pennsylvania, Virginia, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia,
Michigan, South Dakota. Kansas, Mis
souri, Illinois, Oklahoma, Texas, Ken
tucky and Utah.
The total of 402,965 men in the Na
tional Guard thus contemplated would
be organized into 144 regiments of in
fantry, 16 regiments of cavalry, 48
regiments of field artillery, 16 regi
ments of engineers, 16 field battalions
of signal troops. 15 aero squadrons and
the necessary sanitary and supply
trains. Also supplementing the mobile
force would be 212 companies of coast
artillery composing 16 regiments and

Shorts Forced to Cover and Take
Heavy Losses Board of Trade
President Is In Communica
tion With Washington.
CHICAGO, May 12. At the close of
a day such as the Chicago Board of
Trade never saw before, traders were
asking one another what - measures
would be taken, if any, to check the
sensational upward flight of wheat
prices. And in other markets Minne
apolis, Kansas City, St. Louis and lesser
bourses the same query was being
put.
There was no answer, save in the
resolutions of such bodies as the Illinois
Council or Defense, which urged Con
gress to take rigid control of the whole
food, and basic commodity situation.
May Wheat was legislated out of ex
istence by the board directors as a
"patriotic duty" and because its sky
rocketing course might inspire a run
away market.
Advance Is Not Arrented.
As an arrester of advances the move
failed signally. At the opening prices
for July and September options hesi
tated a few cents below the previous
close. The strip of blackboard where
the May wheat ordinarily was quoted
was blank, but in a short time the
adjoining columns began to boom.
When the closing gong sounded at
noon July had shown a net rise of 22 '
to 254 cents, with the final figures
ranging from $2.73 to $2.75 and Sep
tember an even more startling Jump
of 26 to 29. with last sales varying from
$2.44 to $2.46.
Chalk Tells Grim Tale.
The course of the market was best
visualized In the big smoking-room of
the board, where quotations from the
markets of the world- are posted. In
front of the section devoted to wheat
a rotund and imperturbable young man
in a gray alpaca office coat, in great
sweeping numerals so that those in the
far reaches of the room might see
through the haze of smoke, was mark
ing up the prices.
There were those watching the black
board who saw more in the figures
than the cold record of the law of sup
ply and demand. To them it told the
story of a stricken world's demand for
bread, the cry of desperation from the
ruined cities and the wasted farms of
Europe, the plea of emaciated children
and the savage food-lust of soldiers.
The imperturbable young man in the
gray alpaca pursued the even tenor of
his way.
"Shriek" Cornea From Shorts.
"Two fifty-five." he wrote: then
$2.57, $2.60, $2.63." and presently at
the summit of the wave. $2.75, or 2514
cerits higher than yesterday.
,."lt went up like a shriek," remarked
one speculator.
It was something like that, and the
shriek came from shorts. Prices con
tinued their ascent until the shorts had
"covered" and taken their losses, prob
ably very heavy in many cases.
The opinion was expressed that the
day pretty well drove in this interest
and that a decrease In trading might
be expected Monday.
A question much handed about was
whether, if control of speculation in
May was a good thing, why similar
action might not apply with equal bene
fit to more deferred futures. President
Joseph Griffin, of the board, said that
no such action was contemplated at
present, as in the opinion of many
wheat of the new crop would begin to
arrive by July. He was in constant
touch with Washington, he said, and
with the United States District Attor
ney here.
What part the Federal Government
played in the board's action is not
known.
Need of Action Apparent.
That some action must be taken had
become increasingly apparent to the
trade. Millers complained of the prices
of wheat; grocers complained of the
price of flour; housewives called the
bakers robbers, and the bakers, ac
cording to an official statement, have
beeen forced out of business by the
thousands.
It has developed that agents of the
allies have been "long" of wheat as
much as 25.000.000 bushels at one time,
in various markets. They are at pres
ent said to be big owners of spot
wheat, that Is. the actual wheat, such
as one mignt Duy at a feed store.
There is no disposition to accuse them
of speculation. They had to bid
gainst American millers for a croD
which was short the world over.
America had to bid to keep her own
wheat and prices soared.
IMae Noted Elsewhere.
There were advances in other leadtnar
wheat markets during the dav. At
Duluth the advances ranged from 134
to 15 cents.
At Kansas City when the board or
dered the closing of May contracts,
without fixing A. system of prices, the
advance ranged from 21 to 25 cents.
At St. Louis May. in the absence of
an embargo, advanced 13 cents, and
deferred futures 21 Vi to 24 cents.
.Minneapolis showed a net rise in
May of 18 cents and in September of
zu-t cents.
October wheat at Winnipeg advanced
19 cents.
The Minneapolis Chamber of Com
merce voted to continue trading In May
options. Omaha took no action, as May
trades disappeared anyway.

BOSTON, May 12. New England paid
homage to the hero of the Marne today.
From the moment Marshal Joffre
stepped from his train at the South
Station on his arrival from New York
this morning until he left for Canada
tonight, he was applauded continuously.
On historic Boston Common he re
ceived from little Mary Curley. daugh
ter of the Mayor, a parchment an
nouncing that through the Marshal the
school children of Massachusetts and
the citizens of Boston and New England
desired to present a sum for the care of
the children whose fathers have died
for France. This sum tonight had
reached a total of $175,000. with con
tributions still pouring in.
At Harvard University General
Joffre was invested by President
Lowell with the honorary degree of
doctor of laws. In conferring the
degree. President I-owell said.
"Joseph Jacques Cesalre Joffre. Mar
shal of France, commander whose calm
courage and sagacity shone as a bright
star In a dark night, whose genius at
the Marne wrung from defeat a vic
tory that saved France and with
France the world."
The university had voted to confer a
similar degree on Rene Vlvlanl. but the
head of the French mission had been
called to Canada and as the degree
could only be conferred in person it
was automatically withdrawn.
At a banquet tonlgnt It was an
nounced that this probably would be
Marshal Joffre's last public appearance
in an American city, as the French
commissioners were to leave immedi
ately for a Canadian city.
"At the end of our stay in your won
derful country, it is with deep regret
that we take our leave," the Marshal
said. "I want to tell you how intensely
we feel the warm personal sympathy
and kindness which we have met on
every hand."
Vice-Admiral Cocheprat, speaking
In the absence of M. Vlvlanl, said:
"New links are being forged between
u because we are united in spirit and
soon, perhaps, shall unite in blood.
"When your Star-Spangled Banner
shall float on the battlefields of France
and also, I am sure, within a short time
on the fields of the Rhine, then we
may be sure that victory is ours."
