Strikers Ordered
 To Return to Work

LONDON, May 1.-The govern ment issued grave warning to mu- hilton workers tonight saying that it cannot permit strikes to continue and aggravate the delay in the pro- duction of munitions.
 All loyal citizens. therefore, are called upon to resume work imme- diately and government gives notice that all persons melting to the stop page of work on munitions are liable to conviction for an offense entailing life servitude. The motive says the stoppage of work was clearly unau- thorized by the trade unions and oc- cured at a time, when, in view of the present offensive on all fronts, there is greater need for munitions than at any previous time.

Wheat Trading Is Stopped In Windy City
Largest Buyers Now Are Eur
 opean Governments, Not Speculators, Declares Head
 of Board of Trade.
(By Review Leased Wire).

CHICAGO. May 1l.-Trading in May wheat was ordered discontinued at a meeting of the board of directors of the Chicago board of trade tonight. The directors also decided that exist
 ing contracts should be adjudicated
 either by delivery of the property ol at a selling price to be fixed by a com
 mittee appointed for the purpose. The committee is headed by James A. Patten and will meet tomorrow morn ing.
 It was runored that action. by the federal authorities in the last few days-and particularly yesterday-had hastened the action of the board oI directors. None of those at the meet ing would confirm or deny that it had been inmiated to board officials that some action to curb soaring prices of wheat should be taken or government officials would close the board. It was admitted that a number of board of trade members had been summoned to the office of the federal district at torney in the informing and others again in the afternoon, but it was said no threats had been made or intimat- ed. It also was admitted that govern ment agents had been in the trading pit of the board for several days tax ing notes on the traders.
 'The board of directors was prompt ed in reaching their conclusions by what they deemed to be their patrio- tic duty to the country in this hour of national stress" said Joseps P. Griffin, president of the board of trade. True, this action is without precedent in the history of this ex- change, although other exchanges in this country have taken similar ac- tion. It should be understood that the board of trade is neither a buyer nor a seller-it is merely a market place.
 "The recent hysteria over the food situation has causd stampede of in every direction and while it is regretable it is neverthe-, less fact that even the leading gov ernments of Europe seem to have become fearful as to their future re- quirements. The largest buyers of wheat for present and future delivery at this time in the market are the govtrnments of Europe, not specu- lators."

 Nations Played At Banquet As Toasts Are Given To France, England And U. s.

 NEW YORK. May 11.-One of the most brilliant banquets in the his tory of America Twas given here to- night in honor of the British and French war missions to the United States.
 The guests included Arthur James Balfour. Rene Viviani. Marshal Joffre and the two former presidents of the United States. Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft.
 The distinguished representatives of Americas allies in the war against Germany arrived at the Waldorf-As- toria in one party. The streets on all sides of the hotel were packed with men and women.
 Three Electric Flags
 Outlined in electric lights upon the front of the hotel were the flags of the three nations represented while far up and down Fifth Avnue al sea of flags floating over parellel lines of patriotic citizens who jammed the sidewalks on both sides for mile and a half.
 The members of the mission were escorted first to the great ball room where a brief reception was held and then to the grand banquet hall
 Stretched across one end of the banquet hall was great curtain of horizon blue. In the center was the American flag. ianked by the col ors of France and England and with the flags of the other allies surround ing them. Below the flags was a copy of medallion representing France and England, supported on a golden panel bearing the now fam ous words of President Wilson:
 ITO make the world safe for dem ocracy."
 Menu Is Simple
 The menu, one of the simplest ever served at a great public dinner in New York, was limited to five courses. each one a typically Amer ican dish and was designed to exem- plify the Spartan simplicity that should govern the nation in its hour of danger.
 At the close of the banquet Mayor Mitchell presented to Mir. Balfour and NJ. viviani gold medals emblem attic of their visit to New York. The mayor then proposed toast to the President of the United States The diners arose, cheering frantically and throwing their napkins into the air while the orchestra played The Star Spangled Banner" The mayor them then toasted King George of Eng land while the orchestra played God Save the King"

 CHICAGO, May 11.-Whatever part she played in the killing of 13-year-old Grace Hagemann, Doris Anderson. the 14-year-old ohum of the dead girl, showed her self an unusual girl today.
 'I am innocent, am innocent" she repeated many times to de- tectives and other investigators, speaking sometimes with what she considered the manner of film vampire, or again with the baby innocence of the screen in- genue.
 Cant you tell by my looks that I am innocent?" she asked. "In the movies guilt always shows on the face" She confessed to love for sensational fiction.
 According to Doris her chum started to shoot herself; she grap- pied with her and in the struggle the weapon was discharged into her back.
 Both girls are said to be mem bers of a little society, loosely
