KRONSTADT TO
Be BOYCOTTED
Provisional Government
Will Take Steps To Put
Down Revolution
fBv Associated Press.l


Petrograd, June 4.-"Kronstadt will
be declared morally boycotted, outlaw
ed and cut off from the rest Of the en-
pire unless it Immediately withdraws
its. defiance to the provisional govern
ment."
This statement was made to The
Associated Press yesterday by Min
lister of Justice PereveiZeff.
'Kronstadts defiance was discussed
yesterday by the council of ministers,
he said. 'All agree that the government
must not tolerate declarations Of indie
pendence by separate districts. In this
we are absolutely supported by the
Petrograd Council of Deputies.
THE cabinet will probably tomor-
row, IL in the meantime Kronstadt has
not surrendered, issue q declaration
that the fortress town has turned
traitor to the revolution and become an
enemy to Russia's new freedom. We
are convinced that the universal rep
rotation of Russia will bring the ex-
tremists to reason.
I'VE do not take this revolt too seri-
ously. Formerly when we had trouble
in Kronstadt we temporized because
we feared the result of stern measures
If the Germans attacked. Lately we
have taken measures which make a
German attack absolutely impossible.
Therefore, no harm can come to Russ
STA from anything Kronstadt can do
Kronstadt's boast of independence ia
doomed to a speedy end"

Failure" of Offensive on Western
Front Analysed by the Allies

Although Field Marshal Won Hind
enburg and Emperor William assert
that the Anglo French offensive on
the western front has failed after
several weeks of effort, a French Of
fetal statement declares that the Ger
mans lost more than $4,000 prisoners
alone during the French and British
drives against the German lines.
Since April /. the British have adj
vanced on a front of 20 miles from
Loos to south of Bullecourt to an ex-
IRENE depth Of six miles east of Ar
ras. Field Marshal Haig's men have
taken Vimy ridge, dominating the
plains to Douai and have virtually
surrounded Lens and st. Quentin and
have held their gains against desper-
ate and repeated German attacks,
while inf1icting heavy losses.
In the same time the French have
advanced along Is mile front north
of the Aisne and seized the heights
dominating the valley Of the Ailette
river. the last natural defense before
Laon.
