SOLDIERS NEED LARGER
SUPPLY Of MAGAZINES
New Appeal Is Made to Readers
in This Country to Send.
Copies Abroad.

When you finish reading the maga-
zines you bought bear in mind that
the boys who still get their mail in
care of the A. e. F. in France. Eng
land and Germany are mighty short
of reading matter and want them.
Remember, also, that all you have to
do is to stick a one-cent stamp on the
cover of each magazine and drop 1t
in the mail
Cable From Pershing.
Gen. Pershing has cabled to the
United States request that more
magazines be sent to the boys over
seas saying they need reading matter
now as never before.
The supply of magazines has been
reduced from ten to two tons a
month, due to misrepresentation of the
public that magazines could not be
sent under the one-cent postage rul-
ing Some magazines inadvertently
dropped the line announcing that pub
Iications would be carried overseas
under a one-cent stamp. The ruling
is still in force and magazines are be-
ing asked to print it again in the up
per right hand corner of their first
page.

Appeal to Red Cross.

Red Cross divisions and chapters
have been urged to stimulate renew
ed interest in the sending Of maga-
zines abroad by acquainting the
public with the fact that the one-cent
privilege still exists: also to dwell
upon the statement of Gen. Pershing
that American expeditionary forces,
with the excitement of fighting cam
paigns gone. are greatly in need of
interesting reading while waiting for
the day when they will receive word
they are to be sent home.
In order that the shortage may be
quickly overcome, individuals are
asked to double and treble the num-
Der of magazines they previously
were accustomed to send.
