Right-Of-Way Is Given To Letters Of All Soldiers Atlanta, Ga. — To prove that he believes letters from home essen tial, Uncle Sam now says that ev en though a soldier is in the midst of a combat zone he will get his mail along with other Class I sup plies, such as food, medicines and other combat items, according to Captain Robert H. McCormack, Chief of Postal Section, Adjutant General Branch, headquarters, Fourth Service Command. This is the inauguration of the first large scale test of mobile postal service in the war, and will be carried out for the duration. To this purpose a complete Army postal organization accompanied the American Expeditionary Force to North Africa, and postal facili ties were established almost as soon as landings were effected. So effective is this service that let ters are already being received in the United States from the com bat zones. Careful planning ahead well in advance of the campaign made it possible to place in operation com plete postal facilities for the hand ling of first class mail, air mail, registered mail, parcel post and money orders, Captain McCormack stated. V-mail apparatus will soon be installed in these theatres of operations. — Christian Science Society 930 Roanoke Avenue Sunday Service, 11 a. m. Wed nesday service, 8 p. m.
