PRISONERS OF WAR
POSTAL COMMUNICATION
Persons desirous of communicating with prisoners of war interned abroad are advised to acquaint themselves with the conditions under which communication is permitted. The Post-master-General (the Hon. P. C. Webb) stated last night that full information in this matter is available at principal post offices. Comrr.unicatiors must not exceed one sheet of notepaper, both sides of which may be used, and the name and the address of the sender must appear on the cover of the letter or other article. These are two important provisions that are sometimes overlooked by correspondents. It shoulu be remembered that in the main the restrictions are imposed by the country in which the prisoners of war are detained, and offending letters may not be delivered by the country of destination,
