ADDRESS OF MAIL

Prisoners In Japanese Hands The Postmaster-General, Mr. Webb, stated last evening that revised instructions relating to the addressing of letters for persons known or believed to be in Japanese hands had just been received. These cancelled all previous instructions on the matter.

“Letters for prisoners-of-war and civilian internees in Japan and Japanese-oc-cupied territory, whose camp addresses are known, should- continue as hitherto to be addressed direct to the camp.” said the Minister. “In regard to persons whose camp addresses are not known, but who are definitely known to be prisoners of war in Japan proper or in Japanese-oc-cupied territory or to be civilian internees in Japanese-occupied territory (but not in Japan proper), letters should be addressed care of Huryojohokyoku, Tokio, Japan. Letters for civilian internees in Japan proper, whose camp addresses are not known, should be addressed care of Keihokyoku Naimusho, Tokio. In cases in which an addresses is not definitely known to be in Japanese hands, correspondence should be addressed to the care of the Japanese Red Cross. Tokio, as formerly.”
