CHRISTMAS BOXES
FOR THE SOLDIERS
Red Cross viii Have Charge Of
the Distribution.

The families of men in service
abroad have been longing for some
means OF making Christmas overseas
as merry a one as the conditions per-
nit. Sensing this desire, the war de-
dartment has decided that each man
may receive from his family Xmas
package of standard size and appro-
ximate standard contents.
An arrangement has been complet-
ed between the war department, post
Office department and The American
Red Cross whereby the latter has I'M
dertaken to cooperate in the prepare
lion for mailing of these Christmas
parcels. TO simplify the execution
of these plans a large number Of
specially Manufactured cardboard car
tooas have been purchased which
will be distributed through the chap
tels to the relatives and friends OF
men in service overseas.
The amount Of shipping space
which has been set aside for the trans
p3rtation of Christmas parcels will
permit the sending of but one parcel
to each man. To avoid any duplica-
ton, and to make sure that each par
eel will be correctly addressed, a
Christmas parcel label is now being
issued to the men abroad.
Men will be INSTRUCTED to mail this
label home to some relative or friend
who, upon receiving it, will apply to
the nearest chapter, branch of auxil-
larry branch or auxiliary headquarters
Or such other places as may be desig-
mated by the Red Cross where upon
presentation of the Christmas parcel
