Be Careful in Addressing Mail to Boys in France.

Washington, D. C., Aug. 21.—Mail for American soldiers in France will not be forwarded unless the address shows Jthe company and regiment or the name of the separate . unit to which the soldier belongs. The American postal agency in France has been swamped with mail bearing addresses as “Somewhere in .France,” “Care the American Expeditionary Forces,” etc. It has been found impossible by the postal authorities to undertake the location of men to whorn letters are addressed without specific company and regiment designation.
