THE VILEST FIEND
' Thomas Bracken has said of Drink : “Thou art the vilest fiend of all.” BOYS OF THE KHAKI! You who have wallowed amid the rain of shell-fire through the mud of Flanders, who have, undaunted, scaled the heights of tragic Gallipoli, have endured the heat of the desert sun, have walked the hills and plains of Palestine, have stood in the streets of old Jeru- ■ salem; many of whom, no doubt have gone over the same ground once trod by the ‘lowly Man of Galilee.’ For the sake of all that you have done for country and Empire, in memory oi your comrades whoso bodies rest beneath the sod of a foreign soil. Yes—- , ANZACS 1 BUGGERS 1 FATHERS! SONS! .... MOTHERS! DAUGHTERS!'Let us ’rise in our might, and fj in the strength of Jehovah (at the Ballot Box) sweep for ever from our fair land, ‘God’s Own Country,” this hydra headed Dragon of Hell—Drink —which truly is “THE VILEST FIEND OF' ALU.”-
