While the difficulty often arises
from the facC CnaC mems cnange OF
address has not been reported to the
Central p O., where there is a card
for every man in the A. E. F., often the
sender is to blame A cable recently
addressed to "Colonel Smith, Paris, A.
E. F." naturally was problem for
tho clerks When Paris sent it to
Bourges there was, no way of telling
to which of the dozen or two "Colonel
Smiths" it belonged The same thing
often happens with enlisted mans
mail.
All such mail is held for reclassifi-
cation at the Central Post Office UNI
til it is certain that no record of
change of address is available, when it
is returned to the sender, or, if no
sender's address is given, to the Dead
Letter Office at New Work. Stars
