VII. HeadquarterT are constantly in
| receipt of letters containing requests for
the publication of items of information
wanted" in most cases asking the
whereabouts and post-ofice address of
some soldier, sailor or marine. In all
such cases if the writers will address
the Commissioner of Pensions. stating
the purpose for which the information
is to be used, the object of the inquirer
may be much sooner attained.
The printing of these requests has be-
come a great burden, since many appear
to be mere "dragnets" without definite
purpose.
