REGULATIONS GOVERNING
SOLDIERS CHRISTMAS MAIL
For the Army

October 5, 1918.
The War Department is DESTROYS
that each man serving in the Ameri-
can Expeditionary Forces in Europe
shall receive a remembrance from
home at Christmas time, and advises
that because of transportation and
distribution difficulties but one par
Gel of standard size and weight can
be sent to each. To this end arrange
ments have been made with the War
Department whereby Christmas par
GELS may be mailed to members of
the American Expeditionary Forces
in Europe under the following condi-
tons:
l. Each soldier or other member of
the American ExpeditiOnary Forces
in Europe will be allowed to receive
one Christmas parcel for which pur-
pose he will be furnished, thru army
channels, christmas Parcel Label"
bearing the correct name and address
of the soldier or member and also the
name of the person designated to mail
the parcel. The labels will be pre-
pared to serve as address labels for
the parcels. The label furnished each
soldier or other member of the
American Expeditionary Forces will
be sent by him to the person who is
to mail the Christmas parcel. No
Christmas parcel for members of the
Expedtionary Forces in Europe will
be accepted for transmission without
such label.
2. All Christmas parcels must be
Of standard size, 3 inches by inches
by 9 inches, and shall not exceed B
pounds in weight, for which purpose
cartons of the size prescribed will be
distributed thru the local Red Cross
Chapters turnout the country. No
person will be furnished a carton eX-
cept upon the presentation of a.
christmas Parcel Label received
from abroad.
3. The parcels must contain no
prohibited or unavailable articles.
Perishable food products are not per-
mitted
a. After the cartons have been
filled by the persons who receive
them, they shall be returned to a
Red Cross receiving station where
inspectors appointed by the Red
Cross will carefully examine each
parcel and supervise its wrapping and
the affixing of the Christmas Parcel
Label" and the necessary postage
stamps, the latter to be furnished by
the sender of the parcel. When the
parcels have thus been packed and
wrapped and otherwise prepared for
transmission, the Red Cross will affix
to each parcel a certificate in the
form of seal showing that the par
eel has been inspected and contains
no prohibited or unavailable matter.
Such certificates will be accepted by
the Postal Service and Army authori-
ties as evidence that the parcels con-
form to the conditions prescribed and
obviate the necessity of subsequent
examination. The parcels must be
left at the Red Cross receiving sta
tions which will deposit them in the
mails for dispatch.
5. Christmas parcels must bear the
name and address of the sender and
will be addressed substantially as fol-
lows:
christmas Box Department, Port of
Embarkaton, Hoboken, N. ].

This would not imply any exclu-

would be understood by the Local
