CROWD ACCORDED HIM ONE OF THE MOST ENTHUSIASTIC GREETINGS EVER GIVEN

Is Presented With a Purse Of $t75,o00, Contributed by the School Children and Citizens of New England for the Orphans Of French Soldiers.

Boston. Mass, May 12.-New Ems. land paid homage to the hero of the Marne today. From the moment Mar shal Joffre stepped from his tain on his arrival from New York this morn ing until he left for Canada tonight he was Cheered continuously The crowd accorded him one of the most enthusiastic greetings ever given d popular idol in this city when he was escorted through the business section by a long line of troops
 On historic Bostou common he re. ceived from little Mary Curley. daugh. ter of the mayor, a parchment an ncunclng 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 to- night had reached q total Of $l75O00. with contributions still pouring in
 At Harvard university General JOffre was Invested by President Lowell with the Honorary degree of Doctor of Laws.
 The university had voted to confer a similar degree on Rene Viyiani but the head of the French mission had been called 10 Canada, and as the de gree could only be conferred in per son 1t was automatically withdrawn.
 The strain of the weeks tour was apparent on the marshalie face today. He asked for half an hours armstice before facing the assemblaEe of 100,. GOO persons on Boston common. where the gift for the orphans of France was presented.
 One happening Of the day was kept from the marshale know edge Lieu. tenant Colonel Franklin l.. Tcy. com mander of the First corps of cadets, fell dead while leading his regiment along the line of march. Stretcher- bearers picked up the fallen officer so quickly that the majority of his own troops did not know of their loss until after they had disbanded

Clicago, May 1o.-At the close of day such as the Chicago Board of Trade never saw before. traders were asking one another what measures Wolla l.. ,aken, if any, to check the sensational upward flight of wheat prices, .h Minneapolis, Kansas City. St. Louis and lesser markets the same query Was being put. There was no answer, save in the resomt Ons of such bodies as the Illinois Council of De tense, which urged congress to take rigid control of the whole food and basic commodity situation.
 May wheat was legislated ont of eX- istence by the Chicago board as a patriotic duty and because it's sky, looketing course might inspire a run away market As an arrester of ad- vances, the move mailed signally. All the opening prices for July and Sep tember options hesitated a few cents be.oW the previous close. The strip of blackboard where the May ordinarily vas quoted was blank, but in short me the adjoining colmns began to boom. Wine nthe closing gong sound cd at noon, July had shown a net rIse of - 3-tc to 25 IL c. with final fig urcs ranging from $2.73 to $2.75. and September and even more startling jump ot 26c to 29c. with last sales varying from $244 10 $246
 The course of the marke. was best y.sualized in the big smoking room Of the board, where quotations from the markets Of the world, as well as those of the home market are posted.
 There were those watching the blackboard who saw more in the fig gres than the cold record of the law of supply and demand. To them it told the story of a stricken worlds demand for bread. the cry Of desperation from the rulned cities and the wasted farm5 Of Europe he plea Of amacated chi, dren and the food demands Of soldiers.
 Two fifty-tive' was marked on tho blackboard then $9.5G $2.6O. $2.63 1-2, and presently at the summit of the wave $2.75. or 25 lie higher than yes terday.
 -'It wen up like a shriek," remarked one speculator.
 It was something like that, and the shriek came from shorts In the massive trading room, with its octag onal pits wherein the brokers and heir clerks were camOoring for wheat, which was not for sale. Higher and still higher went their bids, but those with wheat were mdisposed to sell it, ano there were few who would take a chance, even at the top. of sell ing short as it is termed when a trader sells for future delivery some thing he has not. hoping that the fu- ture will enable htm 10 buy in at a lower price what he sold at the apex, before delivery day comes around
 Prices continued their ascent until the shorts had covered and taken their losses. probably very heavy in many cases.
