The names of the shore-stations and of the ships with which communication is expected during the day, are posted every morning in different parts of the ship.
The address of a telegram from shore to a ship at sea must be drawn up as follows:

- Name of the shore-station by the intermediary of which the telegram is to be forwarded
At the conclusion of the address of wireless telegrams the service word "Radio" must be added, for example:
Paul Muller, Cleveland, German, Norddeich , Radio. Telegrams from one ship to another only require the exact names of the passenger and the steamer.
All desired information regarding possibility of transmission, duration of transit and tariffs can be obtained on application to the Wireless Station on board, which is situated on the Sun-Deck of this steamer or from the Deutsche Betriebsgesellschaft fur drahtlose Telegraphie m. b. Hl, 9, Tempelhofer Ufer, Berlin SW., Telephone: Nollendorf, 910-916, Telegraphic Address "Debeg". In addition, the offices of the following Companies accept telegrams for transmission and furnish information, if desired:

In addition, all the telegraph offices in the German Empire and abroad accept wireless telegrams for all the steamers enumerated in the International List of Wireless Telegraph Stations.

Cuxhaven, Norddeich, Scheveningen, North Foreland (Dover), Dunkirk, Boulogne-sur-Mer, Niton (Isle of Wight), Bolt Head, Cherbourg, Lizard, Crookhaven, Ile d'Ouessant.
For the same purpose the following are the American shore-stations:
Cape Race (Newfoundland), Sable Island (Nova Scotia), Siasconset (Massachusetts), Sagaponack (New York, (and Sea Gate (New York).
The wireless service on board all the steamers of the Hamburg-Amerika Linie is attended to by the Deutsche Betriebs-Gesellschaft für drahtlose Telegraphic m. b. H., Berlin. Inquiries, claims, etc. should be addressed to this Company only, and not to the Hamburg-Amerika Linie, which undertakes no responsibility whatsoever for the wireless telegraph service.
Besides these customary "wireless messages", a more economical system has just been entroduced for the special benefit of the Passengers. A message containing 30 words can now be transmitted at a cost of M. 5.—and each additional word will be charged for at the rate of 10 Pf. For the despatching of these "Oceanletters" an additional c harge of 50 P1. is made. For all further information please apply to the "Wireless Operator".
It is advisable that Passengers post their mail very early and to write name and address of the sender on the envelope or wrapper.
The Office of the Passenger-Department is charged with the distribution of incoming telegrams and mail. Passengers are recommended in their own interest, before leaving the steamer to make inquiries whether any correspondence has arrived for them or to leave their address for later despatches.
Letters and telegrams may be directed in care of any of the Company's agents.
The Company gladly undertakes the transmission or delivery of telegrams, letters, etc. intended for Passengers; but owing to the immense number of such despatches forwarded to its care, must decline all responsibility, should such be inadvertently delayed or lost.
Office of the Hamburg-Amerika Linie Passenger-Department
On the B.-Deck (Upper Promenade Deck) of the S. S. "President Lincoln" an Office of the Passenger-Department has been established. This Office furnishes information to Passengers concerning the sailings of our steamers, the railway services from port of arrival into the interior, the Pleasure and Health Cruises arranged by the Hamburg-Amerika Linie and the various personally Conducted Tours managed by the Company's Tourist Office (Reisebureau der Hamburg-Amerika Linie)l It also provides information with regard to customhouse arrangements and other questions which are of importance to travelers.
At the Office, tickets are issued for the return-passage either from or to America, for the other regular services of the Hamburg-Amerika Linie and for Pleasure and Health Cruises, as well as for Conducted Tours on shore. The Office is the place where the letters and telegrams arriving on board for Passengers, are kept and delivered. The Office has also full control of all matters relating to change of staterooms, as well as charge of all unoccupied cabins.
Travellers' Checks Payable everywhere issued by the Hamburg-Amerika Linie.
The Most Desirable Means of Carrying Funds Abroad. Combining both Safety and Convenience.
We issue Travellers' Checks in denominations of .,14, 50, A 100 and A 200 in Germany and of $ 20, $ 50 and $ 100 in U. S. of America.
These Checks will not be accepted on board the steamers of the Hamburg-Amerika Linie for any purpose other than in payment of passage, or of bills incurred on board, Nor must the denomination of the check greatly exceed the amount of the billl The checks cannot, however, be cashed on board, as the Pursers and Chief Stewards on the steamers usually have only a small amount of ready money at their disposal.
In order, however, to offer Passengers facilities for cashing such checks immediately upon arrival or departure of the steamers, we have established a portable bank on our piers at Hoboken.
This bank will be placed near the gangway upon arrival and departure of steamers. Hamburg-Amerika Linie Travellers' Checks as well as those of all other institutions for any amount, will be cashed without deduction.
Arrangements have also been made for a Foreign Money Exchange in this bank. All foreign moneys will be bought and sold at current rates of exchange.
Porter Service. Uniformed attendants to carry baggage to and from our docks and arrange small details of travel for a nominal fee.
For the convenience of ocean travelers by our line, and in order to eliminate the extortion that has been practised by some of the public porters, we have inaugurated a service of attendants to carry hand-baggage and perform similar services for our patrons. On days when our steamers arrive and sail, a staff of porters, wearing gray uniforms, upon the collars of which the word "Attendant" appears, and red caps bearing "Hamburg America Line" bands, will be stationed at our docks, the ferries and railroad terminals in Hoboken, to assist Passengers.
The attendants will accompany Passengers to any part of New York to carry baggage, call carriages, and perform similar servicesl If a passenger will write or telegraph us, or telephone our office (1900 Rector) or our piers at Hoboken (770 Hoboken), one of the attendants will be sent to his home or hotell As the porters are conversant with all formalities on the piers, the usual confusion upon arrival and departure practically will be eliminated, thus relieving the passenger of all annoyance and worry and avoiding loss of time.
This service is especially valuable to large parties and ladies traveling alone, who can now make the journey to ours piers, without anxiety. Besides English, many of the attendants also speak German.
Own System of Combinable Tickets for Railways and Steamers (Hapag-Tickets) is in a position to supply to Passengers taking part in Pleasure and Health Cruises, in personally-conducted tours, or traveling independently, tickets available between all the principal places of Europe over all routes, including tickets for beds in sleeping-cars, &cl, &c.
In addition, the Office of the Reisebureau in Berlin is the officially appointed place of the Kgl. Preuss. Staats- Bahn (Royal Prussian State-Railway) for the supply of railway and sleeping-car tickets and advance reservations of berths in all the throughtrains starting from Berlin.
The Bureau also undertakes on behalf of the Railway the despatch of baggage and delivers a baggage receipt at the traveller's place of residence.
For journeys in Egypt, the Reisebureau der HamburgAmerika Linie, as General Agency of the Hamburg and Anglo American Nile Company, offers the greatest conceivable facilities and advantages. The Reisebureau der Hamburg-Amerika Link acts also as agent for all the important railway and steamship companies.
Travellers, therefore, will be serving their own interests and ensure greater comfort in carrying out their journey, if they claim the services of the Reisebureau for the supply of tickets, &c.
On the strength of many years' experience, and an abundant provision of time-tables, tariffs, &c. information concerning travel on the Continent and in all parts of the world, is furnished gratis.
On application to the Reisebureau, prospectuses are supplied to intending travelers free of charge.
