PRISONERS' PARCELS
ALTERATION IX PRACTICE (P.A.) WELLINGTON, Wednesday. The practice adopted by Thomas Cook and Son of dispatching parcels to prisoners of war in enemy and enemy-occupied countries has been stopped, according to advice received by them from their London office. The communication stated that all further inquiries regarding sending parcels should be addressed to the British Red Cross Society, care of the Lord Chamberlain's office, St. James' Palace, London, S.W.I. A representative of the Wellington office said to-day that it was presumed inquiries in New Zealand should be addressed to the NewZealand Red Cross Society at Wellington. The information had been handed on to the postal authorities, with a request that post offices I in the Dominion be advised of the I position.
