LETTERS OF SOLDIERS.

The War Department has requested
that the Committee on Public Infor-
nation transmit to newspaper editors
the following suggestions:
Letters from soldiers will doubtless
be submitted to you for publication.
Many Of these letters will be harmless.
The War Department, however, ur-
gently requests that you do not publish
a soldiers letter without the most
careful scrutiny of it's contents. For
purposes of publication, soldiers let
ters should be treated as the uncen-
sored correspondence of war CORE
spondents. Even though a soldiers
letter is passed by the censor" it
does not mean that it is passed for
publication by the censor. It is passed
that his friends and relatives may
hear from him. It is not certified as
truthful or otherwise suited for pub.
lication.
The War Department bases this re-
quest upon the necessity for avoiding
the giving of information to the enemy.
That soldiers letters may not give
the enemy information, they should be
judged by the requests Of the war
making branches as transmitted to the
press under the voluntary censorship.
For the protection of your news COL
umns 1t is also suggested that 1t is

understand what he sees. He usually
cannot investigate before repeating I'M
truthful and exaggerated stories, and
for this reason his statements, while
unquestionably made in good faith,
cannot always be accepted as facts.
It is hoped that the reasonableness
of these suggestions made in the COM
mon interest will appeal to you, and

portunity of thanking you for past and
anticipated assistance.

importers from other countries to con-
tinue imports, but Canadian bacon will
be subject to conditions to insure ade-
quate army supplies.
The Ministry will distribute the food
on fixed terms as to commission and
profits, SO as to secure supplies to the
public excluding unreasonable profit.
An order has been made fixing as from
