move and that will present a fair idea of the problems which con front the Army Postal authorities.
 Detailed to the job of making 1t and easier task for your son, sweet heart, husband, or brother to get your letters, Major H. B. Dean and Captain John c. Ward (formerly Postal Inspectors), along with many assistants, have made plans for handling this mass of maneuver mail. These officers cannot em- phosize too strongly the necessity for cooperation by giving the com plete and proper address on all letters.
 Here's a proper example:
 Private John Henry Jones
 Company "G", g Infantry APO No. 2 Second Division)
 Ragley, Louisiana.
 The complete address includes the rank, full name, company or similar unit, regiment and APO number of the addressee, as well as the name of the Post Office and state, and all mail should be so addressed. Cor respondents should have their re- turn address on each letter and the postage fully prepaid.
 All mail should be directed to Ragley, Louisiana, unless you are writing to soldiers who have been stationed in Camp Bearegard, Camp Claiborne, Camp Livingston, Louis lana or Camp Shelby, Miss. If your letters have been going to that station, just continue to use that address, but all other mail which goes to the Third Army must be sent to Ragley, Louisiana.
 Headquarters, Third Army has kept in mind that good mail ser- vice is a most powerful morale aS- Bet. Therefore, it is urged that the soldiers should be written often And that letters contain the cor Nect address.
 Army postal authorities urge relatives and friends not to send bake, fruits and perishable things ln the mail, because packages are lhe move. It's best to delay the packages of food until the sol- 6iers return to their home sta- tions.
 Here's another tip-don't send
 any special delivery mail-save
 the dime = special delivery ser-
 vice can't be rendered.
 All soldiers in the Third Army have been notified to pass this m- formation on to their correspond Erits, and for your information the Army has set up Army Post Offices fAPO's) in the Louisiana Maneuver area. Here's the key to the set up.
