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 PostmasterGeneral (Mr P. C. Webb) states that full information in this matter is available at principal post offices. Communications must not exceed one sheet of nbtepaper, both sides df which may be used, and the name and address of the sender must appear on the cover of the letter br other article. These are two important provisions that are sometimes overlooked by correspondents. It should 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.
