ORDER STATE TO ARREST EVADERS
 OF REGISTRATION
Provost Marshal General Issues Orders to Gov.
 Holcomb.

Hartford, June 11-Orders to in- augurate. beginning tomorrow, a wig orous, aggressive and effective en- forcement of the penal clauses of the selective draft law were received to- day by Gov. Marcus H. Holcomb from the office of the provost marshal gem eral in Washington. The instruc- tions were transmitted to local regis tration officials throughout the state by the governors office and were made public through the Connecticut council of defense.
 Every effort is to be made from now on to detect and arrest persons subject to registration who have not registered.
 The governor has received another telegram from tke-provost marshal general as follows:
 Gases in which registered persons have lost their certificates have come to the attention of this orfice. In such cases the registration board that has the card of such person should on application, verify the fact of reg istration and on proper evidence of good faith give a written statement, signed by the clerk, setting forth the fact of registration, the name of the person registered, the date and mum Der of the registration card and a statement to the effect that evidence has been submitted proving the loss of the registration certificate. This course seems preferable to issue of duplicate certificates

Four, MT. and Mrs. Taylor Adams, Maxie Adams and Sam Mo lGinnis, are in St. Stockton, and the whereabouts of the two others, Claude Pfersolf and Caetus Adams, is un- known.
 Ptersol, who was taken from the { sherfffs early Sunday by party e1 fSpF1ngheld men, was subjected to 8 kEevere ordeal in an effort to extort from him an admission of complicity lfn the a.bduction and murder.

START ON LAST
 WEEK OF DRIVE. TO FLOAT LOAN Whistles and Bells Rouse
 Bridgeporters to Renew
 ed Patriotic Efforts. BOY SCOUTS BEGIN CANVASSING HOUSES Automatic Machine Go. Sub scribes $12,O0O and May Make Total $5O,0O0.

Bridgeport was awakened from it's lethargy on the Liberty Loan ques- ton at 10 o'clock this morning when whistles and bells sounded proIong- ed alarm. From factories and boats, churches and public buildings, came the warning that only a few more days remain in which to subscribe to the loan that will help America prosecute the war.
 Most persons knew the warning was going to be sounded, and those who didn't found out what the alarm was about. The result was renewed enthusiasm for buying bonds.
 A humorous incident occurred ir connection with the warning. A group of foreign-born laborers were at work on a construction job neal the center of the city when the whis. ties began to blow. As one mar they dropped whatever they were car. rying and ran to their coats for pock. ct lunches and pails. It required several minutes to convince them ii wasn't 12 o'clock and "quittins time.''
 The Automatic Machine Co. re ports $12,000 in subscriptions and the new purchases increasing so fast tha, .the figure probably will be $50,0OO At the Bridgeport Brass Co. a cal has been sent in for 200 more Hbert, Loan bonds, which means 200 per sons have added their names to tht list of subscribers. Reports from other factories are equally favorable
 A house to house canvas for the sale of Liberty Bonds starts this afternoon under the direction of the local head. Nquarters, Boy Scouts of America.
 Early in the evening each troor will make it's returns to it's seoul leader of the number of bonds solo and the aggregate value of same, an6 this leader in turn will telephone i'm. meHiately to local headquarters these results.
 Local headquarters will be oper Monday. ; Tuesday and wednesdaS evenings to receive the returns The executive will be assisted by Messrs Robert Gibney, William Feeter and others in tabulating these reports. Persons who sign these circular sub. scriptions will be told to call upon their bank or brokerage house on the day following the call by the Scout and make arrangements for the pay. ing of the bond.
 <In Montclair, N. J., last week, ou, of $220,000 worth of bonds sold, the Boy Scouts brought in sI20, ,00O of it In Philadelphia IS boys worked one day as an experiment, and sold $61,. 900 worth of bonds.
 Although outstripped by New Haver and Hartford of it's own state, Bridge ports record for helping float the Lib erty Loan does not suffer in compari. (Continued on Page 3.)

Merchants Fined
 For Sunday Sales

Pleading that they would starve and their business prove a failure, 1T they were not allowed to sell their stock or dry goods and shoes on Sunday, Max Rich and Hyman Roserbaum, who keep a store at 115 Oak street, failed to convince Judge Frederick Bartlett that they were justified in selling goods on the Sabbath and they were each fined $10 and costs.
 A policeman Sunday morning about g o'clock was surprised to find the store filled with customers and he ar rested Rosenbaum, bringing him to police headquarters. Before leaving with the defendant he warned the lat ter's partner, Rich, to close up the shop. The policeman on returning about il o'clock in the morning found the store still open and crowded with prospective buyers.
 Rich was then charged with violat- ing the law and both partners were arraigned in court this morning. Its the only way we can make a living" asserted the pair. Judge Bartlett de- cide& they had better at least attempt some different policy.

MILLIONS TO END WAR, RED CROSS ASKS OF PUBLIC
Funds Would Be Used to Assist Sick and Wound
 ed Soldiers

Washington, June 1.-The specific purposes to which the Red Cross ex- poets to devote the $10O,0 100000 it has asked the American people to con- tribute are enumerated in a statement made public today by Henry P. Da- vidson, chairman of the war council of the Red Cross. President Wilson has set aside the week of June IS to 25 as Red Cross week, and MT. Davi- on hopes to obtain contributions for the full amount of the $100,000, 1000 war service fund during that period. MT. Davison was once a resident of Bridgeport, Conn.
 Our endeavor," the statement says, will be to supplement the efforts of our allies in caring for their sick and wounded.
 We shall help provide the bare necessities of life to the homeless in devastated France; to aid them to rehahlitate themselves and thus to strengthen the man power of the French army.
 we shall strive to hearten Rus and other relief for the sick and wounded along the battle front. We shall try to succor the homeless and wandering peoples of Poland, Lith- uania, and western Russia.
 we hope to extend aid to those who are fighting the battles of liberty in Rumania, Serbia and Italy-in- deed, to relieve human misery every whereamong our allies.
 We have set $100, 100000 as the minimum of our need. It is evident that we could use many times that amount. To administer these funds economically and efficiently We are developing an organization. headed by some of the most competent and ex- perienced business men in the coun. try. They serve without pay. We believe firmly that the efforts of our Red Cross can be a vital agen- cy in helping to win this war.

Hun Hordes Are Rolled Back All Along Front, Wherever Attacks Are Attempted British Ad- vance Near Messines.

Washington, June 1.-The Austrian counter offensive has broken down completely, ac- cordlng to official adviees re- celved here today from mem Der of the Italian cabinet.
 The positions at Faite and Jamlano, captured by the Ital- ians in their offensive. have been successfully held against the extremely heavy, counter attacks of the Austrians, the dispatches report. In the Car so alone 150,ooo troops and g. ooo big guns were used by the Austrians in their attacks.
 The Italians have adopted 2. new
 system of machine gun warfare that
 was used to great advantage in the re-
 cent fighting the dispatches say. The
 machine, guns have been detached
 from Infantry regiments ad organized
 as independent command. giving them a mobility in mountainous territory
 heretofore impossible.
 The Austrian counter offensive on
 the Carso has been broke" the dis patches read. .'The furious attacks against our defenses at Faite and Ja- 1 miano have been repulsed with heavy
 losses and the advance of the enemy l was stopped at the banks of the Tim avo river. ~ "On the Carso front alone the Aus trians hurled 150,000 troops and the | concentrated fire from 2,000 big guns against us. The counter offensive was directed by the Austrian General Bor- oevic.
 The Autrian counter offensive on the middle Isonzo ad the Carso, al- 1 though having reached an extremely violent stage. failed miserably. every sector the Austrians failed to reach Ltheir objective.
 "The Austrian counter offensive was ordered for the purpose of overcoming the political and financial effect of the Italian advance. From a military point of view the l Austria counter attack proved abor- tive. Even Austrian writers on the war now admit that the Italian of-
 fensive succeeded in it's objective and i that the efforts of the Italian arms de- | serve the highest admiration.
 ''The correspondent of the Kolnische Zeitung, writing from the Austrian great headquarters, says that after l two years of fighting the Italian army | has reached, it's highest state of eff iency. Only such an army, with the | necessary equipment, could have gain- | ed the results achieved during the of | fensive-a struggle that perhaps the
 army of no other great action has had l to make"
