and thousands of sacks of paper mail
were delayed in this way.
Instead Of being rushed directly to
. their destination, these letters had to
be forwarded to the central postoffice
3 in the interior of France, where clerks
went through directories Of the eXpedi-
tionary forces in an effort to ferret out
the correct address. This task is dou-
bly, difficult because of the duplication
of names in the army. For instance,
there are 157 John Smiths, los Henry
Browns. "a James Wilson's, so Henry
/ Jacksons, and SO on, according to sta
tistics compiled by the postoffice de-
partment. Eighty per cent of the mis-
addressed June mail was merely adj
dressed Somewhere in France" or

The postoffice department advises
persons writing to soldiers in France to
include in the address the regiment and
company number and, If possible, the

be used toinsure quickest delivery:
