MAIL MATTER FAILS
TO REACH ADDRESSES
Men in Navy Suffer Loss by Send
ers' Carelessness

The dead letter branch OF the New
York postofiice has been swamped with
mail for men in the United States Naval
service which could not be delivered
because Of bad addressing. The result
is that postmasters Of the country have
been instructed not to accept letters or
packages for men in the service unless
carefully addressed.
They must bear the full name of the
person to whom sent, the branch of the
service (whether naval reserve, coast
guard, marines, etc), the rank or rating
and the name Of vessel or station to
which assigned. All of this must be
used in addition to addressing mail mat
ter in care Of the postmaster at New
York
Postmasters have also been instructed
not to accept packages containing
perishable goods or packages which are
not securely wrapped and tied with
strong string, II Is suggested that
whenever possible packages be wrapped
with cloth and left in such condition that
inspectors may easily examine them.

WAR SURGEONS GIVE
NEW FACE TO SOLDIER
Philadelphian, Back From
Front, Tells of Marveious
Skill Being Displayed

Major George f. De Schweinitz, pro-
fessor in the medical school Of the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania and leading
Philadelphia surgeon, just back from the
military hospitals in France, tells Of a
former golf champion, now soldier
who was given a new face" by war
surgeons "over there"
The mans natural face had been torn
beyond recognition by shell ana the
surgeons SET about to reconstruct il.
First they cut big flap of skin
from the victims chest Sits were
made for the eyes and mouth and very
presentable" eyelids and eyebrows FASH
ioned. The new skin grew in a short
time. Eventually the possessor OF tn"
grated cutlcle could blush like six
teen-year-old schoolgirl, according to
Major De Schwenitz. -.
"That'g Just one instance of the work
they are doing in plastic surgery he
said. "In mechanical sterilization, in
the treatment of gangrene and In frac-
turs work marvellous results have been
accomplished. The flap that was grated
on the mans face was the biggest
ever saw.
"Surgeons operate in relays, usually
~ eight hours. They work for eight
hours. stop for eight and then start In
working eight hours more. The stretcher-
hearers deserve the greatest praise.
They are on the front and are like the
trawlers on the sea. They do the tough
est kind OF work are as likely to be hit
as the fighters, they never get the Vic
toria Cross and yet are the brayest OF
