BRASS SHOPS
 TO OPEN NEXT MONDAY

Ansonia, Conn.,, June 19.-Following a conference between Mayor John c. Mead of this city and officials of the American Brass Company, the mayor addressed a crowd of strikers in front of the city hall late tonight and an- nounced that the local mills of the American Brass Company would not reopen tomorrow morning as had been planned but would open next Mon- day.
 The mayors announcement came after day of restlessness among the strikers. The strike committee of the brass company had announced that the strikers still oppose the may ors efforts at arbitration and that they would not return to work.

 Early in the evening Mayor Mead spoke to a throng of brass company strikers. He warned all agitators
 that they would be dealt with stern ly by the authorities if they caused any disturbance or interferred with the police. He assured the strikers | that ample protection would be pro- vided when they go back 10 work and
 said that 90 per cent. of the strikers i demands would be granted

 TIME FOR PLEBiSCITE

Berlin, Wednesday,, June 1S.-(By The A P.-The semi official Vor- waerts, which now openly argues that if the allies will not give time for a plebiscite there is nothing else to do but sign, declares the national assem- bly, must have the deciding voice, but if accord is lacking between the gov ernment and the majority of the as sembly, the cabinet must decide. r"

DECLARES YOUNG WAR
 DOCTORS WERE INEFFICIENT

Philadelphia, June 19.-The bulk of the young doctors who went overseas with the American army were med ically inefficient, Colonel Pearee Bailey, of New York, an army surgeon, de- clared in an address before the American Medico- psychological As sociation here today.
 Tt is fact" said Colonel Bailey, that not six out of a hundred doc tors sent to France could perform a decent surgical operation. This is surely an argument for the better ed ucation of our physicians and the rais- ing of standards in our medical col leges.'
 Criticism was made of the over crowded conditions on the transports bringing home troops by Colonel Thomas w. $. Salmon, U. S. M. C., who said that many shell shocked men, apparently recovered suffered relapses because of the overcrowding
 Treatment of nervous and mental diseases, so prevalent among the sol- diers of the American armies in the form of shell shock or nervous break down, must not stop now that the war is over, said Dr. Tom A. Williams, of Washington. Valuable lessons, which we have learned in the treatment of cases among the soldiers, must be ad- vanced and applied to the still greater army at home-the army of industry, , he declared. "Psychiatrists must work among the men and women of the country, who are engaged in in- dustry, whether it be manual or in- tellectual. The need here is just as great as it was during the war, and there is nothing else which will so helI to build up the national morale.' Dr. Henry c. Eyman, of Massilon Ohio. was elected president and Dr. H w. Mitchell, Warren. Pa, secretary treasurer.
