HOW TO ADDRESS
MAIL TO SAMMIES

Owing to the difficulties expert
enced in delivering mail when care
lc:sly addressed, senders of mail to
soldiers, sailors and marines of the
American Expeditionary Forces
abroad are requested to use care to
write given names in full, preceding
or following the name of the adj
dressee with the necessary title,
such as private, sergeant, lieutenant
etc. The need for the full given
name of the addressee is apparent
when it is explained that the war
department has a card index file
that may be consulted relative to
unbelievable mail for the troops,
reference to which file furnishes no
information when a letter is adj
dressed 81. F. Smith," for instance,
and it cannot be determined wheth-
er it is for James F. Smith, John F.
Smith or jeremiah F. Smith. In
addition to the given name OF the
addressed, and his title, there should
also be added the full name of the
unit or organization to which the adj
dressee is assigned, it being sutticl-
ent in the way of further address
to add the words, "American Expe-
dictionary Forces"
1t is particularly enjoined that
letters, post cards and packages be
not addressed with lead pencil and
that every piece of mail matter bear
the nameand address of the sender,
50 that in case of nondelivery let
tiers may be promptly returned to
the senders.
The long transit taken by the
mail before it reaches the delivery
points abroad calls for the use OF
envelopes that are substantially
made, as experience has shown that
we'll made envelopes retain clear
and distinct the addresses written
thereon while in the case of en-
velopes of poor material the writ
ing becomes indistinct, rendering
uncertain the correct reading of the
name or some part of the address.
Reports continue to be received
to indicate that packages reach Un-

from practically every civilized ma

But this year, Mothers day is to
have a significance even deeper
than formerly. With the assistance
of military and naval authorities in
the United States, with the coun-

her troops abroad, and with the aid
of the Red Cross and Young Mems
Association officials, the day is to
be one for an interchange of greet

their boys with the colors.
