SEND MONEY INSTEAD OF
MERCHANDISE TO SOLDIERS

The original order that the approx
al of a regimental or higher COM
mander was necessary before pack
ages might be sent TO members OF the
expeditionary forces has been modi-
fed so officers with the rank of ma
ior and higher may approve ship
ments. The approval Of company
commander is not sufficient.
The question OF the shipment OF
parcels to France first came to the
attention Of the War Department
when the commanding general of the
expeditionary forces cabled that con-
gestion OF such articles had reached
such a point that French railroads
were unable to handle the load. A
board appointed by the Secretary Of
War and the Postmaster General
examined 5000 sacks OF parcel-post
mail, and found that the articles be-
ing sent not only. in the main. were
absolutely unnecessary, but undesir-
able. The investigation showed that
the amount Of such mail had reached
la total Of 100000 pounds a week
and was steadily increasing.
Relatives and friends, according e
recent statement by the War De
partment, will find they often can dc
a greater service to soldiers by send
ing them money for the purchase o.
articles In France than by forward
ing the articles. Tobacco Is now be
ing supplied as part of the Army "a

kinds may be purchased in Franc
