PARCELS FOR SOLDIERS
PROPER CHANNELS TO USE [BY TELEGRAPH OWN CORRESPONDENT] WELLINGTON, Thursday Since the arrival of tho second echelon of the Expeditionary Force in tho United Kingdom, the question of the proper channels for the postage of parcels to the men has been the subject of a further communication from the High Commissioner, Mr. W. J. Jordan. Ho points out that parcels containing personal gifts sent through the New Zealand base post officer will be admitted free of duty. The National Patriotic Fund Board office advises that parcels for members of the second echelon may therefore be posted through the post offices in New Zealand in the ordinary way. As regards parcels for New Zealanders serving in- the Royal Air I'orce, with naval units or other British units, these should be forwarded care pf the New Zealand War Services Association, 415 The Strand, London, W.C.2.
