The War and Post Office Depart ments and the American Red Cross have made an arrangement by which every man in the army overseas may receive a Christmas Parcel from his family or friends. The amount of shipping space which can be set aside for the transportation of these parcels will permit the sending of but one parcel to each man. Each soldier overseas will be pro vided with one Christmas Parcel label. This will be forwarded by him to the person in the United States from whom he wishes to re ceive his Christmas package. Pack ages that do not bear this label will not be accepted by the Red Cross for delivery to the Post Office au thorities. Labels that are lost will not be depulicated. Christmas Parcels must be placed in standard cardboard boxes 3x4x9 inches in size. These boxes will be provided to holders of labels by the American Red Cross. They may be obtained at Red Cross Chapters cr branches after November 1st. On the next page is a list of ar ticles which are barred by the Postal authorities. Study these in structions and avoid mistakes. No message or writing of any kind will be allowed to go in the boxes. When the boxes are packed, but unwrapped they must not weigh more than 2 lbs. 15 ozs. If the parcel is over weight, some article must be re moved. Do" not mail the box yourself. When packed, the box unsealed and unwraped. ready for 'inspection, should be taken to the nearest col lection station designated by the Red Cross. Red Cross representatives are authorized to remove objection able articles from parcels. Shippers will then affix sufficient postage on their parcels to carry them to Ho boken, N. J., Parcel post zone rates will be charged. The parcels are to remain in custody of the Red Cross until delivered to the postal authorities. No Christmas parcel will be ac cepted by the Red Cross for ship ment after November If.. Keep this fact in mind when planning a Merry Christmas for the boys "Over There." One Package For Every Soldier. The following is an outline of the procedure to be followed by persons planning to send one of these par cels abroad: On receiving one of these Christ mas Parcel labels, it should be pre sented at the nearest chapter, branch or auxiliary headquarters' of the Red Cross, where the holder wil receive a carton. Thse labels are not ex pected to reach this country before November 1, by that time each Red Cross Chapter will have its allot ment of boxes based on the number of soldiers in service overseas from that community. These boxes may be filled with any combination of articles, except those on the list barred by the Postal officials. Articles Barred By Post Office. The following is a list of the principal classes of articles which are unmailable: 1. All spirituous, vinous, malted, fermented or other intoxicating li quors. 2. All kinds of poison and all articles and compositions containing poison. 3. Explosives of all kinds. 4. Inflammable materials, includ ing friction matches. 5. Infernal machines and me chanical, chemical or other devices of compositions which may ignite or explode. Note Under this classification would come cigarette lighters, etc. C. Liquids or. liquefiable articles, fragile articles and other admissible matter when not packed in accord ance with the requirements of the Postal Laws and Regulations. 7. All other articles which may kill, or in any wise hurt, harm, or injure another, or damage, or de face, or otherwise injure, the mails or other property. Bear These Facts in Mind When Packing Your Christmas Parcel Nothing should go in a Christmas Parcel which will not keep fresh from the time of packing until Christmas. Dried fruits and other food pro ducts should be packed in small tin or wooden boxes, one-quarter to one half pound size. Hard candy, including chocolate, would probably be safe in tinfoil or heavy cardboard, but no soft choco lates nor any thing that could pos sibly be crushed should be used, as the remaining contents of the pack age might be spoiled thereby. Several dainties packed in oblong tin boxes holding each a quarter of a pound will provide a better va riety for a packet than a large quantity of a single confection. No liquids nor articles packed in glass should be placed in the pack age. For wrapping the gifts, use a khaki-colored handkerahief, twenty seven inches square. When the package has been pack ed, it should be taken, unwrapped and unsealed, together with the label and sufficient stamps to the nearest collection center designated by the Red Cross. After thepaek age has passed the inspection of the Red Cross representatives as to con tents and weight, and been wrap ped in stout paper, the Christmas label bearing the address of the man for whom it is intended is placed on it. The person sending the package, in the presence of the Red Cross worker, is required to af fix stamps sufficient to carry it to Hoboken. N. J. The Postal charges are to be at the rate of fourth class or- parcel po?t zone rate. A label certifying that the inspection has been completed by the Red Cross is placed on the package, which is left in the custody cf the lied Cross un til delivered to the postal authori ties, d&w EOOKS FOR SOLDIERS. The other day we read a young soldier's first letter to his mother after reaching Europe. One para graph said: "We were eighteen days crossing; a dull trip and nothing to read. There were some dog-eared copies of popular magazines that I had seen before sailing, and some popular fiction that I had either read or didn't care for." The American Library Association, which has charge cf supplying our fighting men with reading matter. reports that the call for bocks of a educational sort history. serious economics, travel. . biography, tech nical treatises and wcrks is great er than it can meet at present. This is a national loss. In train ing camps here, on shipboard and over there, the young men have many an hour to themselves. Wher ever there, is an- inclination to read a useful book it ousrht to be met; and for entertainment there is r.o better recourse than reading. The soldiers have been supplied quite plentifully with the reading matter that can be got to them in the easiest way, with no bother and expense to anybody that is. by simply dropping a read magazine into the post-office, to be forwarded by the Post Office Department. That is good so far as it goes, but inade- ' quate as a method of disposing of the whole matter. Of course, the Library Association does go further than that, aiming to establish in camps, on transports and af rest stations libraries that cover a wide range. Its means are not adequate. The question of a bigger appropria tion for this useful purpose ought to be taken up. Saturday Evening Post. 7-2tdltw DIES AT WEEPING WATER.

I must ;-ay that the inference, v.l;ich you made of me was conrpicuous by its ab sence of truth. After appearing before the Coun cil Meeting last Friday on a matter pertaining to my Ins quota towards the Red Cross, I vj? being interro gated by a member upon a. lot of impertinent and pcrronal question11, who even criticized the classifica- J tion I had received from the District Draft Board, which I thought v.-a?, beyond his jurisdiction, and it was during this rather hinted contro versy that he asked m? whether I was born in this country, and why I was here, to which I replied that it was perhaps my misfortune. Now neither the subject of war, nor America hud been mentioned. And will say, that in using the temi misfortune. I did not in'end to re flet in the lent, upon the integ rity of- our country, nr anything pertaining to the cor duct of is af fairs, but rather toward my in terrogator and intercept him from rskir.g further questions, not boar- ! ing on the subject Neither were the terms automo bile tire.

Have always believed tn the in stitutions of this con n fr j- and re spected the constitution which guar antees protection to every citizen, even in a petty offense. And I will assure you. had an interrogator, been used, with a more altruistic disposition that the public findings would have taken a far different aspect. Let us abide by the truth. W. F. NOLTE. P.
