Officers Authorized To Approve Re quests For Articles To Be Sent To American Expeditionary Forces.
Office 3rd Asst P. M. Gen., Washington, May 31, 1918.

OI1cG orQ ASS r. M. Gel., Washington, May 31, 1918. In connection with Departmental Order No. 1259, of March 2S, 1918, restricting the Mailing of parcels to members of the American Expedi- tionary Forces to those which con tain only such articles as are being sent at the request of the adresSee approved by his regimental or high CT commander, postmasters are in formed that the term "regimental commander" has reference to an of ficer in command of a regiment, or separate battalion or similar sep arate unit. The War Department has advised this office that in many instances lieutenant-colonel or major may be acting as such com manding officer, and, therefore, a request for articles duly approved by an officer who is a major or of higher rank than major is regarded as meeting the requirements of Order No. 1259. When the approv- al of a regimental officer is authen- IlCdleu Dy d SldI OlltCls lhC stiHt of the former should appear above the signature of the latter, as, for example
 Approved by order of Col Richard
 Doe, John Doe, Captain - Inf,
 Adjutant."
 The War Department has also ad- vised that an officer may not ap- prove his own request for articles unless he is a regimental or higher commander, having authority to ap- prove requests in general, and that officers not assigned to regiments should obtain the approval of com manders higher in rank than regi- mental commanders.
 The endorsement of the signature or initials of lieutenant or other officer, together with the letters FOX" on a soldiers letter merely for the purpose of showing that the letter has been censored and passed does not constitute such an approv- al of any request for articles which his letter may contain, as is required by Order No. 1259. In each in- stance it is necessary that the re- quest he duly approved by the sol dier's regimental or higher com mander.
 Postmasters should inform per sons presenting requests approved by officers of lower rank than major that such approval is not sufficient, and that they should send such re- quests to The Adjutant General of the Army, Washington, D. C.. who will approve them if considered proper. Postmasters themselves,
