HEADS CITED

William C. Deming, George r.
Wales and Jessie Dell, members of
the U. s. Civil Service Commission
were today cited by Justice Wendell
p Stafford in District Supreme Court
to show cause March 2, why Charles
N. Ward, 30 year old son of William
:. Ward, special assistant in the De-
partment Of Justice, should not be
allowed to take the examination for
a civil service appointment as a resi-.
dent of Ohio.
Through attorney NJ. Borchardt,
the boy tells the court through
his father. that he applied for autho-
rity to take the examination here as
a resident of the State of Ohio, but
was refused. He claims that the COM
mission held that he was resident of
the District of Columbia and must
take the examination as such.
The boy claims that his residence
Is Hamilton County, Ohio, and he
only lives temporarily with his
father. He sought appointment as a
senior stenographer and typist.

War DEPT. AID
GIVEN THIS !
FEATURE

When Gen. Charles p. Sum.
neral was In Hollywood attend
ing the reunion of the First Div
ision, he little dreamed that he
was to be taken back to France
and to the scenes that were so
indelibly scared on his memory.
During the Generals trip
through the motion picture
studios, his first stop was as the
guest of the Tec-Art Studios Of
John Boyce-Smith, vice president
OF Inspiration Pictures and an
executive OF the Tec-Art organi.
zation. In fact. General Sum-
meraiI had been advised Of the
gigantic French village that had
been erected at this studio and
he expressed a keen desire to see
It.
He was more than amazed at
the set which had been built for
"She Goes to War!'-its authentic
appearance was even to his
trained eye as near perfection as
was humanity possible to accom-.
plish.
Mr.. Boyee- Smith informed Gen.
eral Summerall that Inspiration
was, at that time, in communities
ton with the War Department
at washington, relative to film
ing some huge engines OF war in
action in the East for the battle
sequences, and it is believed that
the Generals impression OF the
story which had been passed by
the War Department, and of the
manner in which he saw the pro-
duction being filmed by Henry
King together with the fact that
the war scenes were being filmed
in q most authentic manner, was
indirectly responsible for the tele-
gram which Boyce-Smith received
with complete permission granted
by the War Department to use
the specified equipment In the
production.
Fort Leonard Wood, Maryland,
was the site used for filming this
portion OF the story.
"She Goes to War; represents
for the first time in any war pic
ture. the use of the gigantic fight.
ing equipment in question and
the sequence wherein these mon
sters of destruction win appear
was guarded with the utmost pre-
caution. "She Goes to War?' Is
now attracting crowds to the
Columbia Theater.
The cast includes Eleanor
Roardman, John Holland, Ed
mund Burns, AL st. John and
Margaret Seddon. Victor and Ed
ward TIalperin are associated with
Inspiration in the production Of
the picture.
