TO FERRET OUT SLAckERs
 AND PUNISH THEM
Orders From the Office of the Provost Marshal General at Washington.

Hartford, Conn.,, June 11.-Orders to inaugurate, beginning tomorrow, a vigorous, aggressive and effective en- forcement of the penal clauses of the selective service law were received today by Gov. Marcus H. Hoicom b from the office of the provost marshal general at Washington. The instruc- tionS were transmitted to local regis tration officials throughout the state by the governors office and made pub lie through the Connecticut State Council of Defense.
 Every effort is to be made from now on to detect and arrest persons sub ject to registration who have not reg istered.
 The governor has received another telegram from the provost marshal general as follows:
 Cases in which registered persons have lost their certificates have come to the attention of this office. In such cases the registration board which has the card of such person should, upon application, certify the fact of registration and upon proper evidence of good faith give a written statement, signed by the clerk, set ting forth the fact of registration, the name of the person registered, the date and number of the registration card and a statement to the effect that evidence was submitted proVin 2 the loss of the registration certificate This course seems preferable to issue of duplicate certificates"

While the cannon Is roaring along the greater portion of the front in Belgium from the region of the North Sea to the French border, probably preliminary to infantry attacks by the French and Belgians, the British troops in the Messines region are g1V- ing the Germans no rest.
 Not satisfied with the capture of the famous Messines Ridge last week Field Marshal Haig's men continue here and there to dig further into the ter ritory held by the Germans. Sunday night and Monday again witnessed thrusts bE the British south and south east of Messines, in both of which ap- preciabIe gains were made, especially Tn the aeighborhood of La Poterie Farm
 EarIy Monday morning in this re- zion a trench system over a front Of about mile was captured and later In the day the gain was considerably enlarged, bringing the British front to within a short distance of Warne- ton. the capture of which would give them domiDion of the road eastward about three miles to the important town of CComnes.
 The days operations added to the number of prisoners taken by the British and also gave them seven more German field guns.

DISAGREEMENT AMONG
 ITALIAN CABINET MEMBERS
Crisis Reached Over Selection of the
 Mission to the United States.

Rome, June II, via Paris, $50 D. m.-A crisis in the Italian cab1net has developed when least expected, only few days before the reopen June 14.-For some time a disagree ment between the members of the cabinet has been known to exist, es- pecially between Baron Sonnino, min fster of foreign affairs, and other ministers. The friction reached eli max when the members of the Italian mission had to be selected. Then Ba- ron Sonnino put his veto on the ap- pointment of several persons whom the ministers considered most sulta- bIe for the task and declared that ne would resign if their appointment was insisted upon. Wishing to avoid a crisis in such a grave moment or the nations history, the cabinet ceded to Sonnino's opinion.
 This was one of the chief causes of delay in appointing the r..rr-;ron, in addition to the refusal of the Duke of the Abruzzi to return to America for personal reasons The life of the cabinet, however, seems assured, par ticularly after the recent successes on the Carso front, when suddenly a proclamation was published announc- ing the independence of Albania un- der an Italian protectorate.
 As the foreign minister has admit ted that it would perhaps have been better to submit the proclamation Of AlbanlaS 1ndependence to the couhcli of ministers before publishing it, hopes are entertained that an agree ment will be reached before the re- opening of the chamber. Naturally, those already strongly antagonistic to the premier are desirous of a discus sion in the chamber and senate with view of giving some indication to the king of the best means to solve the crisis. Some stf:l trust that the influence of the king and the patriot ism of Premier BoselH and the other ministers may be strong enough to keep the ministry in office. The king has arrived in Rome from the front and will take the situation in hand.
 Among those ministers who have threatened to resign are Leonida Bis solati, leader of the reformist social ists, Signor Bonomi also a refornist socialist, and minister of public works :: Signor Comandini, republican, and Signor Pera, miniilter of posts

Comparative quiet reigns on the front held by the French except for artillery duel on various sectors, es- peCially in the region of Mont Carnil- let. The German war office asserts that on the Chemin des Danes Sun day night the Germans in a surprise attack killed the occupants of French trenches and returned to their own lines later with prisoners.
 On the Russian fron- quietude still prevails In Macedonia artillery bonn bardments are still in progress al va rious points, particularly in the Cerna Bend region.
 What probably may be another in tensive attack by the Italians has started in the region southeast of Trent, where King Victor Ernmanuefs men have captured several important positions notably the great portion Of Monte Ortigara which rises to a height of 6.924 feet, and the Agnello Pass from which there is compara- : lively level ground toward the town of Borgo and the Brenta River. There has been no renewal of the Italian of fensive on the Carso plateau, where the objective of the Italians is Triest. On the contrary the Austrians several times attempted to take the initia- tive south of Castagnavizza but were completely repulsed and lost prisoners in addition.

Great Britain's
 Note to Russia
GIVING STATEMENT OF. BRITISH
 WAR AIMS
A WAR OF DEFENSE
An Added Object is That of Liberating
 Populations Oppressed by Alien Tyranny"-Aceepts Principles Laid
 Down by President Wilson.

London, June 11.-In reply to the Russian governments request for a statement of the British war aims, Great Britain has forwarded to Petro- grad a note which expressed hearty acceptance and approvai of the prin- cipIes President Wilson laid down in his message to congress. The British government believes broadly speaking, that the agreements made from time to time with Britains allies are con- fcrmable to these standards. The purpose of Great Britain at the out set, says the note was to defend the existence of the country and enforce respect for international agreements Since then there has been added that of ''Hberating populations oppressed by alien tyranny" The note bespeaks not only the liberation of Poland by Russia but of that section within the dominiOnS of the German1c empires.
 Text of the Reply.
 Following is the text of Great Bri- tain's repI,- to the request from the Russian government on May for an exposition of the British war aims:
 'In the proclamation to the Russian people enclosed with the note it is said that free Russia does not purpose to dominate other peoples or take from them their national patrimony, or forcibly occupy foreign territory In this sentiment the British government heartily concur They did not enter
 
 not continuing it for such object Their pupose at the outset was 70 defend the existence of their country and en- force respect for International en- agreements. To those objects have now been added that of liberating pop ulations oppressed by alien tyranny.
 Free Poland.
 They heartily rejoice, therefore, that free Russia has announced her intention of liberating Poland, not on- ly Poland ruled by the old Russian au- tocracy. but equally that within the dominion of the Germanic rules. Tn this enterprise the British democracy wish Russia Godspeed.
 Beyond everything we must seek such settlement as will secure the happiness and conten ntment of peoples and take awav all legitimate causes of future war.
 Endorses President Wilson's Principles
 ''The British government heartily join with their Russian allies in their acceptance and approval of the prin- ciples laid down by President Wilson in his historic message to the Ameri- can congress. These are the aims on which the British peoples are fight ing. These are the principles by which their war policy is and will be guided.
 ''The British government believe that, broadly speaking, the agreements they have from time to time made with their allies are conformab1e to these standards, but if the Russian government so desire they are quite ready with their allies to examine and. if need be to revise these agreements" :"
