will be 18,000 men stationed in Eng

start the first shipload of these sold
iers homeward within a week and to
have all the men on their way back to
he United States ten days after.
Tho plans for clearing England of
American troops are incomplete, hut
t is desired to remove these men im
mediately as some shipping is avail
able for this purpose. Most of th°
18,000 men are helping the British
ir force.
The American hospital units will he

The belief is expressed at Army

SENATOR SMITH TAKES
STEP TO FREE COTTON
In order to Insure the receipt of a
Christmas parcel by every single man
in the American expeditionary forces,
the war department has extended the
time of mailing for overseas packages
until November 30, and' has authorized
the American Red Cross to have print
ed sufficient additional Christmas la-
-bels exactly similar to those received
from abroa dto issue to those families
who haver net received the labels
which were distributed to the men
abroad. In many cases these labels
have been lost in transit and the new
ruling provides that the nearest re!
atives of each man in the A. E. F.
may obtain from the Red Cross chap
ter a duplicate label provided the orig
inal has not arrived by November 21
Applicants for these duplicate la
bels should make a written Statement
the effect that he or she is the near
est living relative in the United States
-it ho man to whom the package is to
y)0 sent, that he or she has not receiv
’d a label from abroad, that should
uch a label be received it would not
e used and that to the best of his 01
..nowledgc anil belief only cne pack
age will be sent to the proposed' recip
ient.
This extension of the time limit and
fhc issuing of duplicate labels abso
lutely insures a Christmas package to
every man In the service in Europe.
The southern division is no^v having
hose labels printed and they will be
distribute* to chapters with full in
structions by November 21.
