GENERAL BIRDWOOD'S WARNING TO THE TROOPS.
General Bird wood, in a message dated Cairo, March 17, specially warns New Zealand and Australian soldiers against strong drink, and urges the men to determine not to give way to it, and to remember the honour of New Zealand and Australia is in their keeping. “Alas, ’tis true, ’tis pity, and pity ’tis, ’tis true.” The Australian and New Zealand Governments license men to sell poison to our soldiers, and the General warns the men not to take the poison, lest they sully the honour of their native land. Who sullies the honour of our land? The Ministers who license the sale of the poison, or the boy who drinks the licensed poison?
