Mail May Now Be Dis patched to Serbia and Italy and Money Dr.
 derS to Syria.

With the occupation by the Allies of the territory formerly in the hands of their enemies. mail regulations have changed and now permit the acceptance by the postal authorities of mail to various countries with which communication has been cut off
 Postmaster Z M Bradford has re. ceived the following notices from the office of Otto Pracger, Second Assistant Postmaster General, regard ing the resumption of mail services:
 Referring to the notice of this cffice of June 20, 1918, published on. page 12 of the August, 1918 Postal Guide, and to the notice headed, Mail and Parcel-Post Packages for Certain Parts of Italy, published in the Postal Bulletin of December "A, 1918, and in the January, 1919, Pos tai Guide, postmasters will take mo- tce that the Italian Administration has announced that articles of the regular mails may be accepted for delivery in the territory formerly oc- cupied by enemy forces and that parcels-post packages will be accept ed only for the cities of Padova (Padua, Treviso, Venezia (Venice) and Vincenza, in the reoccupied ter ritory.
 The Rome office gives notice that, owing to the existing conditions in the provinces of Belluno and Udine, parcel-post packages can not be re- ceived in the provinces named.
 "Postmasters at all international money-order offices are again ad- vised that this department has been notified by the Postal Administration of Great Britain of it's. willingness to arrange with the Egyptian Postal Administration for payment of money orders to civilians residing at any place in Palestine which is occupied by the Allied armies
 "They may therefore accept the ap- plication of intending remitters for money orders payable in Palestine or Syria; they will draw these or ders as 'British,' but mark the money crder form itself Cancelled and send it with the advice and coupon prop erly filled out to the New York Exchange Office for certification.
 "At the time this intermediary ser vice was proffered the money-order service had not been formally open cd for localities as far North as Safed. Damascus and Beyrouth. The statement was made by the London office, however, that so far as that office was concerned, money orders would be forwarded to those locali- ties at the sender's risk, on the chance of their being delivered, the inference being, of course, that the boundaries of the occupied territory are continually enlarging.
 "In accepting this intermediary ser vice this department requested that if it should happen that money or ders issued in this country were cer- tified as a locality at which payment could not be made, such certification might be cancelled forthwith, so that the amount might be refunded to the remitter with as little delay as pos sible
 Mail For Serbia
 'It is now practicable to dispatch mail to Serbia through Italy, and postmasters, therefore, will give mo- tice that letters and postcards will be accepted when addressed for de livery in Serbia.
 Tt will be observed that there is no parcel post service between the United States and Serbia and that the mail articles, registered and or dinary, to be accepted are limited to letters and post cards.
