WILLIAMS MEN IN SERVICE

O n Soldier Addresses The War Department has asked all publishers of periodicals, as a matter of policy, to refrain from listing the names or numbers of the tactical units or the addresses of men in the Army, because of the extensive movement of troops in the past few weeks. In other words, alumni magazine publishers are asked not to indicate in their class notes where the men may be reached, particularly if regiment or division is mentioned. The rule does not apply to newly enlisted men at the replacement center but it does apply after they join a regular command.
