APPRENTICE IS GIVEN FREEDOM
 IN CITY COURT

Charles Joseph Conlish, 19, of $40 Carroll avenue who was arrested Friday charged with the violation of Section 46S7 of the General Sta tutes, the old Blue Laws of Connecti- cut, relating to disobedient appren tices, was arraigned before the City Court Saturday and execution of judg- ment was suspended.
 According to the story told by Conlish, he was working as an ap. prentice machinist at the American Graphophone Co. and was only get ting apprentice pay for work which was fully equal to that which was rlachinists, who were getting fuN union scale. He was offered job in another plant which would give him full pay and he took it. He did not think that he was violating any law in taking the course he did.
 Prosecuting Attorney Alexander L. Delaney, who issued the warrant fo; the arrest of Conlish, said last night T studied the statutes carefully be- fore issuing the warrant which was demanded by the Graphophone Co officials. The law Is upon the sta. tutes although I cannot find that any case was, tried since 1899, if then, in this state.
 "The matter will be left entirely tln the jurisdiction of the court for de- ciscion. It is one of the most novel cases within the scope of my eXperi- ence."
 It is thought that the Graphophone Co. is pressing this case because they have number of young men inden- tured as apprentices at their plants and are endeavoring to make this case precedent to govern their actions in the future when dealing with ap- prentices

SAME TREATMENT
 WILL BE GIVEN TO U. s. OFFICERS

Amsterdam, June 15 - The Swiss legation in Washington has been ask ed to look into the matter of the compulsory work of German officers interned in the United States, ac- cording to an announcement in the reichstag, says an official Wolff bu- reau dispatch. Deputy Stresemann questioned the government and quoted London newspapers with reference to a photograph in which Capt. Koenig was alleged to be shown breaking stone. Col. Franseky replied to the deputy as follows:
 Tt is not clear whether officers are compelled to do such work. The Swiss legation in Washington has been requested to investigate and in- form the United States government that if within a reasonable time nc satisfactory answer is forthcoming re- garding the imposition of compulsory labor on German officers, American officers will be subjected to the same treatment"

For Mental Efficiency.

The mental 'setting-up exercises which are called for to convert ineffi- ciency and incapacity into ability and power are few. Nevertheless, they must be established firmly in your mind, if you would succeed. You must practice the will to pay attention to colorless, uninteresting and apparently unimportant matters. The will to fix the attention upon the pieces in the paper" which you do not like is neces- should compel yourself to grasp the in' tricate, involved and even inpracti- cal details of whatever comes before
