Messages sen ■ by this means are restricted to pen sonal matters and must not exceed —"> words in length. Unless they conform to these requirements the message, may be detained by the censorship authorities. _ . . The Post Office also notifies that advice lias been received that one bag or New Zealand mail for Copenhagen is presumed to have been lost by the sinking of the s.s. Vidar while on a voyage from England to Denmark toward the end of January last. The ba" of mail referred to is probably thar which was dispatched from Auckland on December 12 last and contained one registered article and about 31b. of letter mail. This is the first bag of New Zealand overseas mail matter that has been lost since the outbreak of hostilities.
