ONE OUNCE OF COTTON
MAY SAVE HUMAN LIFE
Supplies to Vienna May Be Sent by
Mail.


WASHINGTON. Nov. u. - American
humanity will not have its efforts to
save human live interfered with by red
tape. Every man, woman and child in
the United States who wants to send an
ounce OF cotton to Austria or to any
of the other warning nations to be used
in dressing soldiers wounds can do so;
and they will have the active co-opera-
ton of the Postofhce Department in their
labor.
Postmaster General Albert S. Burleson
made this emphatically plain today. He
stated that apparently some minor post
masters had failed TO realize that the
department had the facilities to trans
nit mail to Austria. as well as to other
points in the postal union, but he in
sisted that this apprehension would be
removed
Every postoffice in the United States
will accept every package of cotton con-
signed to Vienna, or TO any other place
in the European war zone where sup
plies are needed" said the Postmaster
General.
