Already many good little men have

heavyweight of particular ability

PLAN XMAS CHEER
FOR PRISONED YANKS
Red Cross Soon To Begin Move
ment To Dispatch Gifts.

Christmas cheer will be carried to
the American prisoners of war this
year, according to an announcement
received at the local Red Cross
headquarters from Washington We'd
nesday. 1t will be of great comfort
to the American families whose boys
are now held prisoners to know
that they may have bit of the Yule-
tide spirit through the Red Cross in
Switzerland. Shortly the local chap
ter will have posted bills about the
city instructing how packages may
be sent. These bills contain the fol-
lowing information:
The American Red Cross is desir-
GUS of aiding in every possible way
the American soldiers of war, and
las decided to arrange for shipment
of gifts from the families of prison
ers so that they will arrive for
SHllStliidS dI tiio piiooi SohhPo.
If the families of American prison,
ers of war confined in German and
Austrian prison camps desire to send
to them a special parcel for Christ
mas, the American Red Cross has
made the following regulations for
forwarding such parcels. Qnstruc-
ton is next given as to the weight of
the package and how it should be
a1ldressed).
Upon receipt in New York, pack
ages will be forwarded, free of charge
to the sender, to the American, Red
Cross Commissioner at Berne, Swift
zerland, and from there distributed
to the prisoners.
Only one package may be sent to
each prisoner, and preference will
be given to packages sent by the fam
lily of the prisoner. Others desiring
to send packages should first con-
suit the family. AS the postal regu-
lations permit the sending of but one
package a month the families TAX
ing advantage of this offer will nee
essarily omit any package which
they intended sending in the month
of December, but of course are not
restricted from sending package
any other month. 1t will also be per-
mitted to enclose simple card of
Christmas greeting or message
such as eve are well at home"
In addition to gifts from the fam
lily, the American Red Cross has ar
ranged to present each American
prisoner with a box of cigars as a
Christmas present from the Red
Cross.
