Is it correct to say "the same" or just "same" in this sentence.

I have made some necessary changes to mine and please do the same with yours.

do the same with yours'. Sometimes you can omit 'the', but not in this context. I found this for you in Webster's New World College Dictionary: The expressions same and the same are sometimes used in place of pronouns such as it or one, as in When you have filled out the form, please remit same to this office.
