Censorship Rules On
Addresses In Print
Don’t forget that the addresses
printed in the paper for men and
women in the service are not com-
plete. We are reprinting our ex-
planation of the censorship rules,
so that no misunderstandings will
occur.
The office of Censorship has
found it necessary to deny author-
ization to publish full addreses
of men overseas or about to go
overseas for reasons of military
security.
The complete mailing address
includes the man’s name, his rank
or rating, and the ship, station, or
unit (in some cases represented
by a number) to which attached,
and requires that the communica-
tion be marked care of the Fleet
Post Office, New York, or San
Francisco, as the case (Atlantic
or Pacific Fleet) might be.
It is necessary to eliminate ships
or units from addresses which are
carried in print. This elimination
makes an incomplete address, as
letters which do not carry the ship
or station cannot be delivered, and
all individuals writing to their
friends or members of their fam-
ilies in the Service are urged at
all times to make sure that such
information is included in the ad-
dress. Private knowledge of a
man’s ship or station is one thing,
but public dissemination of such
information in published form is
quite another, and consideration
of the military security involved
must come first.
