SOLDIERS TO GET
LETTERS PROMPT
THERE SHOULD BE NO DELAY IN
DELIVERY OF MAIL

New York, Sept 9.-American sol
diers in the front line trenches in
France will receive their home letters
within three weeks after mailing if
plans now being worked out by army
postal officials are successful.
Captain Frank E. Frazier, Assistant
Director of the American Expedition
airy Forces Postal Service in France,
has returned to the Uuited States to
put into effect plans for extending the
delivery of American mail to the sol
diers in France. He says today:
with what has been done or is now
being done to insure the prompt de-
livery of mail, there should be no &C.
casion for delay or non-delivery of
letters to our soldiers in France if
those writing them from home will
realize that the slightest inaccuracy
or obscurity in the address of let
ter is almost certain to cause delay
and may result in non-delivery.
One million letters arrive in France
every day addressed to members of
the American Expeditionary Forces,
according to an estimate of the mill
tray postal authorities.
Steps taken to expedite mail from
TT,,i+ To
ing to the statement, include: The
turning over Of a complete military in
formation as to the location of troops
in France by the military authorities
to the military and domestic postal Of
ficers; the issuance Of orders sending
mail on every ship destined for any
port in France organized to receive
MALL and the adoption of a scheme OF
designation for groups Of unattached
soldiers sent from the United States
to replacement camps in France.
"a complete postal system cores
ponding to that in the United States
is now operating in France with
central post office located at Tours"
the statement continues. "This SER
vice, except the distribution and dis
patch of mails to the United States,
is entirely under military control.
'In view of the duplication OF names
in the American EXpeditionary For
ces, the absence of any distinguishing
designation for groups Of casual or
replacement men has been a source
of difficulty in the delivery of mail.
Thousands of soldiers are being sent
to France every month from this
country for replacement purposes. 1t
is estimated that 100000 letters a
month were delayed from this cause.
This delay in delivery will not occur
under arrangements which have been
made to have each replacement unit

United States given distinctive COM

it reaches a replacement camp in

will then be one OF the $50 men in

men.

Of the use of initials where a word
should be spelled out may not only
retard the delivery of letter but may
prevent it's being delivered at all.

PRUSS|AN CHIEFS
SUPPRESS PAPERS

Fearing the effect OF West front
reverses and of American demo-
cratic propaganda upon Teutonic
morale. the Prussian war lords have
decided upon a Pan-GermRn propa-
ganda campaign throughout Ger
many and a tightening up of the
little remaining freedom Of press
and speech of the Empire, entente
diplomatic advices announced today.
German newspapers are declared
to be giving prominent space to an
nouncements that ministers will go
before the people to explain the real
facts concerning important problems
that are facing the Germans. The
announcements, which come from
Berlin, intimate that the tone Of the
messages will not be of the usual
Dragging Prussian style, but that the
Teutons will be informed that they
must stake all in the coming final
struggles.
! The plans of the Swiss. at evident
German request, to suspend the pub
lication OF the Freie Zeitung at
Berne is held to indicate that the
Prussians will leave no stone un-
turned in their preparations for hold
ing out against the coming entente
siege.
A Paris cable quotes the Frankfur-
ter Zeitung as stating that the sup
preston was based on political mo-
tives, rather than print paper short
age. which was the reason assigned
by the Swiss.
The Freie Zeitung is a democratic
German publication. Entente diplo-
mats assert that IL aroused the ire
OF the Germans as soon as IL was
founded by its articles from the
pens OF Swiss and German writer's
favoring the regeneration OF Ger
many with a regime OF liberty in
order that IT could be reconciliated
with all nations.
1t is declared that a recent series
OF articles in the paper bearing on

liberty fired the Germa Is to request
the suspension OF the paper.
