A DISQUIETING CIRCULAR.
FOUND ON A GERMAN PRISONER. “ DON’T EAT FOR THE SAKE OF EATING.” Received Aug. 19, noon. Paris, Ang. 18. A circular found on a prisoner states; “That it was the duty of every soldier to economise food and forage and counteract the enemy’s efforts to starve ns. Satisfy only the natural needs and eat all the crumbs, You have a right to generous rations, but you need not eat all. Don’t eat for the sake of eating. It is your duty to hand in leavings and apparently useless articles, tins, old clothes, bags, leather and metal.’’
