COMMUNICATIONS THRU
RED CROSS.
Washington, Sept. IA.

washington, Sept. Il.
At the request of the Department
of State, the American Red Cross has
undertaken, thru it's Bureau of Com.
munication, to communicate messages
or inquiries from persons in America
concerning the welfare and where
abouts of persons residing in the
coutries of the Central Powers, or in
territory occupied by them.
In other belligerent countries this
communication is possible, since all
enemy subjects being held either as
civil or military prisoners of war have
the privilege of correspondence grant
ed by international agreement. The
United States has not classed German
civilians as prisoners and consequent
ly the closing of postal service to the
Central Powers has caused serious in
dividual hardship.
The Government of the United
States proposes, thru the American
Red Cross, to relieve this unnecessary
suffering.
Individuals wishing to make inquiry
concerning the welfare and where
abouts of friends or relatives in terri
tory belonging to, or occupied by, the
Central Powers, may communicate
with the Bureau of Communication,
American Red Cross, Washington,4 d.
C. Proper inquiries and messages
will be transmitted on special form
to the International Red Cross in
Geneva. From Geneva, they will be
forwarded to the individuals for whom
they are intended.
Answers will be returned to the In
ternational Red Cross and by them
will be sent to Washington. The Red
| Cross will then communicate the in
formation received to the writer's of
| the original letters. Two &c stamps
must be enclosed for postage. A SIM
| liar method is being devised for the
transmission of inquiries from the
Central Powers to America. This will
also be handled by the Red Cross.
The following points are to be OBJ
served by all inquirers:
| 1. Letters of inquiry must be ad-
dressed to the Bureau of Communica-
ton; not to the person concerning
whom inquiry is made.
2: Letters must be concise, since
only the briefest communication can
be sent
3. They must mention only person.
al matters, such as communications
concerning the condition of members
of the family and requests for similar
information.
4. Letters must be legible and must
be in English, French, Italian, Russian,
German, Polish or Hungarian.
5. They must include the full
name, address, and occupation of the
sender and the full name, address, oc.
cupation, and age of the person for
whom the inquiry is destined.
6. Inquiries may not be made Of
toner than once in six weeks.
y The Bureau of Communication re-
serves the right to refuse to transmit
any Information or inquiry which ap.
pears to be contrary to the national
welfare.
