 The Atlantic Division of the Amer ican Red Cross has announced that 1 complete list of instructions for fill | ing Christmas parcels for soldiers overseas will be given out when the cartons themselves are distributed This list was arranged to aid persons
 who have received cartons, and they are urged to follow to the letter In l this way. the packages will go for ward with more speed, and time and trouble will be saved for everyone. In | spectors, officially appointed by the Red Cross. have authority to take anything from the packages which does not meet the regulations. While removal of such violations will not mean sacrifice of the entire parcel it
 may mean that it will be held up too
 long to reach the army transportation
 poInt at Hoboken. N. J., on time The
 cartons when ready for distribution.
 will be given only to those persons ', who have received labels from the soldiers now overseas or on their way
 there. The army department has an-
 nounced that in order to@assure par
 ceis to men who have left for France
 during the past few weeks, labels
 were given to them before sailing
 with the same instructions as were
 received by the men actually over
 there. Each man, therefore. in the
 American Expeditionary Force. and
 each man about to join it, will receive
 d label The label received by the sol
 dier will be addressed to himself and
 forwarded to the one person in the
 United States from whom he wishes
 to receive Christmas parcel
 On receiving a label, ore should
 axe it to the nearest Red Cross chap
 ter, branch or auxiliary and there he will receive his carton. The officials i of the Red Cross state that under no i circumstances whatever are they re- 1 spCnsible for or able to help in sup 1 plying the labels themselves That is entirely an army matter, arranged by 1 the distribution to the soldiers, The l plan provides for sending parcels not only to the army men in the expedi- 1 tionary force but to such f1ar;nes as are now attached to General Persh- ing's army The set of printed in- l stTuctions, which is supplied with the | carton,- mention several things which i can. be sent, but the list of those 1 things which are prohibited is com rlete.
