"ENGLAND ON THE BRINK OF STARVATION."
What rot Germans are now being told about food conditions may be gathered from the following fable officially circulated, on June 4:— "That Germany's U-boat campaign is having the intended result of constantly diminishing England's food supply is confirmed afresh by all the Germans who return from internment camps. Since the autumn of 1917 conditions have grown continuously worse. In the prisoner camps, the English are now reduced to furnishing nothing' but the food pronounced as the medicinal minimum essential for existence. In England generally food conditions are extraordinarily bad. It is beginning to look as if the reserves which England has thus far been able to depend upon, and which she has hitherto been able to supplement from aboard, are rapidly becoming exhausted. ''
