 CHICAGO, May 1.-The low swell of business disturbance due to the entry of the United States into the world war broke in a crested wave over the leading grain exchanges of the country today. Tomorrow representatives of these exchanges will meet here to dis cuss the high prices of grain, the run away tendency of the market and the attitude of the government.
 Among influential Chicago grain men there is a sentiment that speculation in futures should be absolutely elimi- mated, either by complete stoppage of the practice, or by fixing a maximum price for futures. The sentiment, however, was by no means unanimous. It was reported that the Minneapolis delegation would oppose such proced- ure despite regulation measures pro- posed by congressman, including Sena- tor Thomas demand for the log of all exchanges where foodstuffs are specu- lated in
 The Chicago board of trade began the day by taking unprecedented action to curb speculationt Buying of May options in grain were prohibited and outstanding contracts were ordered closed at or under maximum prices fixed by a committee of the board. Trading in July and September wheat was curbed for a period of two days except at $2.15 or under for July and s2.45 bushel or under for September. The maximum price for closing out May corn was fixed at $1.6112 and for May oats at 7312c a bushel.
 The result of these regulations was sharp decline in wheat and advances in the coarser cereals.
 To1liS (1itV DI1lIIth Minneapolis and Toledo the boards took action approximately similar to that of Chicago. There was a holiday

 The statements declare that in front of the Bulgarian positions south of 1 Doiran more than 1,500 British dead, including fifteen officers were counted.

On the front in France, the British, after days of fierce fighting, have taken
 in it's entirety from the Germans the village of Roeux, to the east of Arras,
 and north of Gavrelle have pushed their line forward. No infantry engagements
 have taken place between the French and the Germans but their artilleries are still roaring in the great duels which always are the forerunners of attacks.
 From April to May F Germans to the number of 49,579 have been made prisoner in France by the British and French In addition, 444 heavy and field cannon, 943 machine guns and 396 trench mortars were captured. The sixth Zeppelin to meet with de- struction by British and French since the war began has been accounted for by British naval forces in the North sea. The airship, the Lag, was com pletely destroyed and it is believed that most of it's crew perished.
 That Great Britain intends imme- diately to adopt a more aggressive at titude in the war with her navy is shown by the appointment of a naval
 staff, headed by Admiral Jellicoe, one
 of her best sea fighters and naval l tacticians.
 Germany's submarine campaign so 1 far as France is concerned has not 1 been as successful as against Eng l lands commerce and neutral shipping. i In the three months since the inten- sified campaign began only IT French merchantmen have been sunk.
