Mail Addresses

Postmaster J. P. Hebert is in re-
ceipt of a notice from the Postoffice
Department. concerning addresses on
mail matter intended for soldiers at
military camps. The department as
serts that the chief cause of the non;
delivery Of mail matter for soldiers
is insufficiency Of address.
Postmasters are therefore enjoined
to notify the relatives and friends of
soldiers that unless mail is addressed
to company and regiment or other
distinctive organization, delays in de-
livery or failure to deliver may re-
suit, and to urge upon patrons the
necessity Of placing correct and com
plete addresses and return cards upon
all classes of mail intended for sol
diers, particularly at this time when
many new men are being indicted
into the service and the old units are
being transferred to different camps.

Just before Senator Knox spoke the
foreign relations committee had dis
cussed and decided to delay action un-
til Sunday on his resolution which
would record the sentiment of such
postponemcnt and also call for with
drawal Of the American military and
naval forces from Europe and abro-
cation of the presidents eXtraord1n-

mess of enforcing and insuring our
war aims, the United States can, with
out any 'entanglement' whatever,

the whole of it's influence and of its
potential power. This can be done
by a new declaration of some CORE
