LETTERS TO CITIZENS
OF CENTRAL POWERS
MAY NOW BE SENT
WASHINOTON, Sept. 14. At the re-
quest of tho department of atntf, the,
American Red Cross has utid.rtrtken,
through Its bureau of communication,
to communicate messages or Inquiries
ffom persons In Amerba concerning
the welfare and whereabouts cf per
sons residing in the countries or tho
central powers, or In territory occu
pied by them.
In other belligerent countries this
communication la possible, aincc all
enorny subjects being held either a
civil or military prluonera of war have
the privilege of correspondence grant
ed by international agreement. Tho
United States has not classed German
civilians as prisoners and consequently
the closing of postal service to the
central powers has caused serious in
dividual hardship.
The government of tho United
States proposes, through the Ameri
can Red Cross, to relieve this unneces
sary suffering.
Individuals wishing to mtke In
quiry concerning the welfare and
whereabouts of friends or relatives tn
territory belonging to, or occupied by,
the central powers, may communicate
with the bureau of communication,
American Red Cross, Washington, l.
C. Proper Inquiries and messages will
be transmitted on a special form to the
Internation.".! Red Cross In Geneva.
From Geneva, they will be forwarded
to tho individuals for whom they are
Intended.
Answers will be returned to the In
ternational Red Cross and by Uiem
will be sent to Washington. The Red
Cross will then communicate the in
formation received to the writers of
the original letters. Two 2-cent stamp!
must be enclosed for postage. A simi
lar method is being devised for the
transmission of inquiries from the cen
tral powers to America. This will al
so be handled by the Red C'nwa,
The following points are to be ob
served by all inquiries:
1. betters of Inquiry raiuu tie ad
dressed to the Bureau of Communica
tion ; not to the person concerning
whom inquiry is made.
2. letters must be concise, since
only the brMest communication tan
be sent.
3j They must mention only personal
ir.'tters, such as communications con
cerning: the condition of members of
the family and requests for similar in
formation. 4. Letters ranst be legible end must
be In English, French., ltdlan. Rus
sian, German. Polish or Hungarian.
5. They must include the full name.
address, and occupation ot th? sender
and the full name, address, occupa
tion, and of the person for wium
the inquiry is destined.
6. Inquiries may not be i;;;le often
er than once in six w colts.
The bi'.rean of communication re
serves the right to refuse to transmit
any information or inquiry which ap
pearsMo be contrary to the nationa!
welfare.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 17.
There is no truth ln a widely circulat
ed statement that the government ex
pects to take food supplies from any
family. Both the food administration
and the department ot agriculture Join
in a statement to counter act what
i seems to be a deliberate propaganda
to the effect that the government in
tends to take from every family all
canned goods put up in excess ot 100
quarts.
This is omy one of the variations of
the rumor, which has been widely cir
culated. Another statement is thj the
government has been urging the can
ning, drying, and preserving ot fruits
and vegetables, so that they will be
in a convenient form for the govern
ment to handle and transport when It
takes them away from the people. Fur
ther elaboration is that these goods
are to be taken away from the Amer
ican homes and shipped to England.
In one instance a motorist stopped at
a farmhouse to" fill the radiator of his
automobile. In the course of conver
sation he casually Inquired whether
the farmer's family was canning all the
surplus fruits and vegetables ln order
to help conserve the food supply, . He
was informed that the farmer wag not
doing this because the government in
tended to take all the canned goods
away except a small part of it actually
needed by the family itself.
The authorities state emphatically
that no such course has ever been Con
templated by the government. On the
contrary, both the department of agri
culture and the food administration
are strongly urging housewives to can
and preserve, especially at this time,
all surplus fruits and vegetables in or
