American soldiers in France can re-
ceive but one Christmas package each
this year and each package must
weigh not more than three pounds, ac-
cording to regulations announced by
the war department. Boxes for men
in the navy, however, may weigh twen-
ty pounds.
The regulations governing Christ
mas packages for soldiers have just
been completed after conferences be-
tween the war and postofice depart
ments and the American Red Cross.
1.-THE men themselves will decide
who is to send these parcels. They are
now receiving Christmas parcel labels
with instructions to mail these labels
to the person in this country from
whom they wish to receive the holiday
box.
mo Christmas parcels will be ac-
cepted for shipment after Nov. 20.
The cardboard boxes or cartons to be
provided for these parcels are 3 inches
by inches by 9 inches in size. When
packed, wrapped, and ready for mail
ing these boxes must not weigh more
than three pounds"
The American Red Cross has agreed
to provide these cardboard boxes and
to supervise their distribution to rela-
tives Of the soldiers who present the
proper Christmas parcel label creden-
tials. The following is an outline OF
the procedure to be followed by per-
SONS planning to send one Of these par
GELS abroad:
On receiving one Of these Christmas
parcel labels it should be presented at
the nearest chapter, branch, or aux
fliary headquarters Of the Red Cross,
where the holder will receive carton.
These labels are not expected to reach
this country before Nov. 1, but by
that time each Red Cross branch will
have its allotment of boxes, based on
the number of soldiers in service over
seas from that community.

CHILDREN HELP TO WIN WAR
Little Ones Have Proved No Whit
Behind Their Elders in Their
Patriotic Work.

There is one thing, at least, that War
Savings stamps have done for the small
boy and girl. They have stopped that
mania for collection that used to seize
tie children of the household. Before
the war it used to be butterflies or
birds nests or postage stamps or pos
tai cards or anything that came in the
likeness OF all things human; dolls,
dishes and violins. But now, when 25
pennies equals one Thrift stamp and
16 Thrift stamps equals one War Saw
ings stamp, the scheme appeals both to
the collective and the miserly instinct
of man. Besides that, no one can for
an instant forget that War Savings
stamp is the equivalent of bullet or a
bandage, and that it is going straight
t. brother in the trenches. But where
the children really shine is in the
Thrift stamp propaganda. You see
them at every corner haranguing the
pas sersby, and while this may not be
considered very digniaed. it never

Twice Cited for Bravery,

To have been cited by the French
for bravery twice since his arrival in
France in January is the record of
Professor stephen H. Bush Of the
University of Iowa. In the wake of
the first official announcement came a
lengthy cablegram with the details of
his second citation. Courage and ten
acity in bringing in wounded over ex-
posed places" were conspicuous on the
part of Professor Bush, who is work
ing for the Y. NJ. C. A. with the Mo
roccan divisions.
The cablegram further declares that
the "French are devoted to Professor
Bush and the other Y. NJ. C. A. work
ers in his division and are gaining
high opinion of Americans through con-
tact with them" Professor Bush is
head of the department of romance
languages at the university.-Iowa
