The Fiddlers
Drink in the
Witness Box

By ARTHUR MEE
If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;
If thou sayest, “Behold, we knew it not;” doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it?
And shall not He render to every man according to his works?

DRINK LEADING FAMINE IN

The Drink Trade gave Germany her greatest weapon in the war by helping to make the bread famine.

It was the wilful destruction of 4,800,000 tons of food, depriving the nation of her reserves, that led to the appalling gravity of the submarine menace.
