Protect yonmif a#ttec from « whether ' nikviee will be avaflable at yonr 11 During recent months, com plaints from the public of delayed or lost mril Addressed to mem bers of the armed forces indicate [that there i.s wide misnnderatand- g of how this mail is handled id of the difficulties encoiinter- ei in its delivery. Vhese complaints, incidentally, ara fewer than the number receiv- edl^uring the First World War, althfmgh the volume of mail is muim larger, according to veteran posml officials who have directed posml activities in both wars.. Mail for members of the armed (ories is delivered by the Postal Seifvice to Army and Navy au thorities at post office convenient tp camps or stations in this coun- y or to ports of embarkation when addressed to persons overseas. The Postal Service then has no further jurisdiction over the mail, and the responsibility from that point on lies entirely with the Army and Navy. Like wise, the army and navy handle mail from members of the armed forces until it is delivered to civi lian post offices in this country, and the Rostal Service has no jurisdiction over the m.iil until so received. Army and navy post offices are. technically, branches of civilian post offices in this country, but they are not under the jurisdic tion of the Postal Service, being maintained and operated by the War and Navy Departments and manned by nrilitary and navy per sonnel. For instance, A. P. O. 1234, care Postmaster, New York, N. Y.. would be a branch of the New York postoffice, although it may be located with troops in Af rica or elsewhere. 4itail deposit ed in that post office for delivery in this country would carry the return address of "A. P. O, 1234, New York, N. Y.,” although it came from abroad, and the post mark on the envelope is placed thereon at the overseas location and not at New York. Directory service, through which improperly addressed mail is readdressed and forwarded, is provided by the Army and Navy. Delays in the mail to the armed forces may be caused by various factors. Transportaion of mail must sometimes be postponed so that more urgent needs for arms, food, or more military and navy perso.inel may be filled first. Al though mails are dispatched at every opportunity, at times the overburdened facilities cannot ac commodate ail the mail end it must be held until shipping space ift available. Ships must travel in convoys,'In the interest of safety, and a convoy can start only when the last ship is loaded and can Iravel only as fast as the slowest ship in the group—all of which consumes much time. Transfers of personnel from one point to another also add to the time re quired for mall to catch up with the men shifted. Censorship, which is done by the Office of Censorship or military authorities, may also cause some delay, al though this is held to a minimum. The post office department does not have ' jurisdiction over the censorship of mail. Ship sinkings-by the enemy ac count for much .of the lost mail. Many thousands' of letters and packages have been on ships los^ by enemy action. Many postal patrons have won dered la more rapid and regular mall service from tke armed them'. comes from overseas than goes to our armed forces overseas; ships and planes on return trips have more space available; and the lo cation of addres-ses in this coun try is r*ore stable then that of overseas personnel. V-mail letters are given priori ty in transportation by the Army and Navy over ordinary mail, and, when possible, are sent by ptane. Some of the public are under the misapprehension that the Post Office Department can provide the addresses and location of sol dlers, sailors and marines aibroad. Many The postal service has no such records. When it is necessary to obtain such addresses of soldiers they may be had from the Office of the Adjutant Genenal, War De partment, Washington, D. C.; of sailors, from the Bureau of Naval Personnel, Navy Department, Washington; and of marines, from the Marine Corps Headquar ters, Navy Department Building, Washington, D.
