MELLON IS CITED
BY D. c. H|GH,COURT
Summons Result of Suit Over
Dismissal of Chief
Clerk Clay.
LEW WALLACE BLAMED
Loss of Job Laid to Claims for
Libel Damage Against Head of
Savings Division.

Justice Hoehling Of the District
Supreme Court yesterday cited An
drew w. Mellon. Secretary of the
Treasury. to show cause August 4
why writ of mandamus should not
be issued to compel him to rescind
his order of July abolishing the Of
flee of chief clerk of the savings di-
vision Of the Treasury Department
The courts order Is based on a suit
Clay of Rochester, N. Y, who has held
the position for several years at
salary of s2,40O per annum.
The Secretary has attempted, the
court is told, to abolish the position
held by Clay as q ''subterfuge" to pre-
vent Clay from protecting his inter
ests under his civil service status and
to excuse the biased, unfair and un-
Just dismissal" of Clay, which he
claims is gross abuse of discretion
on the part of Secretary Mellon. Clay
asks the court to require Secretary
Mellon to permit him to resume his
duties and to, reinstate him on the
rolls of the department at his former
salary.
Clay blames the loss of his position
on an alleged opposition to him by
Lew Wallace. jr.. chief of the savings
division, against whom he recently
filed suit for damages for alleged libel
in connection with a letter sent by
the Undersecretary of the Treasury to
Senator Wadsworth of New York re-
flecting on Clay. Charles H. Fullaway,
assistant chief of the division, was
also made defendant in the libel suit
against Wallace. Clay is represented
by Attorney H. NJ Welch.

WEEKS BACKS PRESENT
ARMY PROMOTION LIST
Statement to Senate Committee
Based Upon Findings Of
Board of Officers.

Secretary of War Weeks, presenting
by request of the Senate committee on
military affairs his views on Army
promotions. recommended to the COM
mittee retention of the present promo
tion list for Army officers.
The Secretary's statement. based on
the findings Of board Of Army officers
who recently completed ten months
study of the subject. was made public
yesterday by Chairman Wadsworth of
the committee.
The boards conclusions accompanied
the Secretary's letter and were to the
effect that while there were many
cases Of plain injustice" and "numer-
Gus instances of hardships worked by
the hurried manner in which the Army
was increased in the world war" 1t re-
garded the single promotion list as
highly important to the efficiency OF
the Army"
The committees request for new
survey of promotion conditions was
based, Mr.. Wadsworth said in his orig
inal letter, on the fact that there had
been many complaints against the ar
rangement and the committee felt that
a new report might produce basis
for amelioration of some of the con-
ditions criticized.

HOSPITAL HAS BIG
BLOOD HERO LIST
More Than Half of 500 Men
at Walter Reed Have
Made Sacrifice.
GET TIME TO RECOVER
Physicians Choose Healthiest in
Transfusions for Sick
Veterans.
GET TIME TO RECOVER

OF the 500 men at Walter Reed Hos
pital here more than half have given
blood to those comrades who can be
cured only by having injected in their
veins the healthy red blood Of a
strong man.
This practice is still necessary, and
today Walter Reed boasts of long
list Of men who have volunteered to
make the blood sacrifice. Usually not
less than fifty have thus been en-
rolled. Hardly a day passes, doctors
say, that there is not a call for a
TRANSMISSION.
Bloods Are Matched.
When the physicians decide an all
ing patient is in need of new blood
a specimen of his is tested to de-
termine which Of the four classes Of
human blood he possesses. The test
is then compared with those of the
listed men, who have been previously
examined, to find one that matches"
the patient. There are usually num-
Der of each type on the list and the
TRANSMISSION is quickly accomplished.
Those on Duty Chosen.
The men who volunteer for the
charity are chosen among the clerks,
ambulance drivers, special police and
others on active duty at the hospital
high premium paid to the donor Of
blood for TRANSMISSION, these men ask
for no payment; their only reward is
a ten-day leave to recuperate. If
more than a pint is given it is very
weakening. For that reason only the
strongest and healthiest men are
picked.
No man is permitted to give his
blood twice within two months. but
as often as there are calls for the
service there are always plenty of
volunteers.

new POSTAGE STAMP
ISSUE lessons ERRORS
Assistant Postmaster General Says
Old Designs Too Similar for
Perfect Detection.

The Post Office Department is not
contemplating new issue of stamps
because of a desire of stamp col
lectors for new designs, w. Irving
clover, third assistant postmaster
general, declares. but the proposed
changes of the present issue are under
consideration because the best inter-
ests of the service warrant it.
Mr.. Glover said that the appeals of
Postmaster General Work for sugges-
tions for the betterment of the pos
tai service brought thousands of let
ters from employees suggesting a new
issue of postage stamps. They have
pointed out, he continued, the ad-
visibility of more distinct variation
in designs for stamps, as we'll as col
ors that do not possess striking SINH
larity.
The department knows that thou
sands of dollars in revenue are lost
yearly in the postal service, due to
striking similarity in stamps. as well
as little deviation in color, which pre-
short-paid matter. Mr.. Glover con-
tinued This liability to error is in
creased by cancellation. which often
obliterates the numera1 on the stamps
to such an extent that errors can
not be detected promptly. In fact,
the present issue bears so many fea-
lures alike that errors now made in
handling mail with these stamps at
tached are, in the majority of cases,
excusable.
Particularly Is this true in many
of the larger post Offices. where arti-
fetal light is necessarily being used.
Inasmuch as the stamps from l to Z
cents denomination bear the portrait
of Washington and the cent to IS
bear the portrait of Franklin. postal
clerks cannot easily distinguish the
denomination in the rapid handling of
all n nf dictt
gushing features"
Mr. Glover pointed out that the cost
of preparation of the new special de-
livery stamp was very economical.
the master die only costing the gov
ernment $43S.91, which was more than
twice covered by sale of these stamps
to stamp collectors for which no
service was rendered, the receipts
from this source being $s7s.6o up to
date.
