OTTO PRAEGER.
Second Assistant Postmaster General,
Parcel Post Limit Seven Pounds.

II will be noted that parcels weigh
Ing seven pounds but no more can be
sent through the post Office department
all the way to France.
The twenty-pound parcels which are
intended for Christmas gifts and which
are TO be delivered on Christmas day
are sent by the war department from
It's port Of embarkation at Hoboben,
y. J. These parcels which must not
exceed twenty pounds in weight. can
be sent to the address given In Hoboi
ken In any way that the sender
chooses.
OF course the post office department
has been handling the smaller Christ
mas packages all the way through TO
France, but in order to insure their de-
livery on Christmas morning Ii was
necessary TO mail them by November
IL. However, the fact that the mailing
was too late for delivery on Christ
mas day does not mean that packages
cannot still be sent by parcel post.
They can be sent any day In the year
ut the rate of u cents for each pound
sent, and this rate holds from what
ever point in the United States the
package is sent.

How Packages Must Be Addressed.

Packages for the soldiers must be
addressed TO the individual with his
company and his regiment and then
must be added the words American
Expeditionary Forces" IT is not nee
essary to add the name Of the country.
II viii be noted that In the instruc-
tions given above and prepared In the
second assistant postmaster generals
office nothing is said specifically con
corning the kind of things which may
be sent to the soldiers and civilians
connected with the expeditionary
forces. It is perfectly proper 10 send
sugar. provided It is properly wrapped.
The reason sugar is spoken Of here
Is because there seems to have been
some misunderstanding about It.
Matches must not be sent in any cir
cumstances Neither must anything
lnHommablc. except, OF course, ordi-
nary packing material, be Included,
nor must there be any ch mical or
fresh fruit In the package. Candy
ram 20 If properly protected from
MASKING mp and running other things
I'm me mail Jars Of fruit properly
seaiod and protected against Areak-
agu can be sent Nothing of an ex-
pIoeive nature must be put into the
parcels
II is necessary that the parcel post
packages weighing up TO seven
pounds shall be wrapped 50 that the
post Office authorities may examine
their contents. The rules for the
packages which the war department
sends are given explicitly in the above
official communication. II is desired
20 accentuate the fact that parcels up
to seven pounds in weight can he sent
by ordinary parcel post al any time of
the year, but that Christmas boxes
which are to go by the way OF the war
department at the address given abCfe
will not be forwarded II they are r..
ceiyed N HobOken later than peceu-
be. D.
