made by the United States Post
Office Department in coopera-
ton with the War and Navy De-
partments for the acceptance of
Christmas parcels for members
of the armed forces serving out
side of continental United States.
ALASKA is included in the term
outside the continental United
States.~
In order that such parcels
may reach the addresses on
time and in good condition, the
following requirements are
brought to the attention of
mailers:
Time of Mailing. - Christmas
parcels and Christmas cards
should be mailed during the
period beginning October and
ending November /, 1912, the
earlier the better. Patrons should
be encouraged to endorse each
gift parcel Christmas Parcel"
Special effort will be made to
effect delivery of all Christmas
parcels mailed during that per-
iod in time for Christmas
Size and Weight.-In view of
the urgent need for shipping
space to transport materials di-
rectly essential to the war eff
fort, Christmas parcels shall not
exceed the present limits Of IL
lbs. in weight or ID in. in length
or AZ inches in length and girth
combined. Nevertheless the pub
lie is urged by the War and Navy
Departments to cooperate by
voluntarily restricting the size
of Christmas parcels to that of
an ordinary shoe box, and the
weight to 6 pounds. These de-
partments have pointed out also
that members of the Armed
Forces are amply provided with
food and clothing, and the pub
lie is urged not to include such
matter in gift parcels. Not more
than one Christmas parcel or
package shall be accepted for
mailing in any one week when
sent by or on behalf of the same
person or concern to or for the
same addressee.
Preparation.-Owing to the
great distance this mail must be
transported and the handling
and any storage it must under
go, it is absolutely necessary
that all articles be packed in
substantial boxes or containers
and be covered with wrappers of
sufficient strength not only to
resist pressure of other mail in
tn, same sack, but to withstand
the weight of other sacks of
mail, which in the long transit
may be piled thereon. Further
more, as each parcel is subject
to censorship, delay in handling
may be minimized by securing
the covering of the parcel so as
to permit ready inspection of the
contents.
Many combination packages
will probably be made up, inclu-
ding miscellaneous toilet arti-
Giles, h I'd candies, soaps, etc. The
contents of such packages should
be tightly packed, in order that
the several articles may not be
loosened in transit, damaging
! the contents of the Iarcel itself

1t is anticipated that Dr.. Robert

Although there is no way to pre-

it is pretty well established that
Weaver's office is an essential to
the successful conduct of the war,
since it has been through this Of

that the new officials who will be

That all of this change is dis
