MUST, FOLLOW ORDERS
 ON CHRISTMAS PACKAGES

In case there has been any mfsun- derstanding on the part of anyone in regard to the labels which must be presented in order to receive Christ mas cartons for overseas the following statement from the Atlantic division of the American Red Cross will make the matter clear;
 The war department has arranged the system for distributing the labels. They are supplied to the soldiers in France and in no other way. Com pany commanders give them to the men. The soldiers are ordered to ad dress them to themselves and then mail them to the one person in this country from whom they wish to re- ceive gifts.
 In no other way is it possible to get lapeis The Red Cross has no supply Of them, and will receive none.
 If person has received no label, but wishes to forward a gift to a man in France, he must find the sole pos sessor of the label sent to this coun- try by that man. It is possible that the local chapter can aid in the search, Ii the label was sent to a person in this city but in no other way can the organization be of assistance.
 The local chapters responsibility begins when the label is brought to it's once. Then It will give out a carton. After the carton has been filled and returned, it will inspect the containet and see that it is wrapped correctly. The organization will then forward the package to the transportation point for shipment overseas, the send CT paying the postage.
 The Red Cross has announced that 1t is following war department and postomce regulations in handling the Christmas packages. The rules must be obeyed to the letter. No infringe meent, however trivial, can be permit : ted. and infringement of the rules will probably lead to the sacrifice of the parcel itself.
 The Red Cross also announces that it has no jurisdiction concerning pack ages for the navy department. These packages are not to be in- spected by the Red Cross All ex- press parcels for the navy should be addressed to the Supply Base, 18th street and Third avenue, South Brook lyn, N. Y
