TOO MUCH PLUM JAM.
TOMMIES' WORST COMPLAINT. AMPLE BILL OF FABB, <Tlmes and Sydney Sun Services.) (Received 9.10 a.m.) LONDON, March 12. "Eye-witness" with the British headquarters in describing the feeding of the armies says the excellence of the work of the supply columns was shown by ..the fact that there was not a single day except during their retirement that their food had not readied the men. The soldier has bacon for breakfast, bread and cheese for luncheon, hot meat and vegetables for dinner, and bread and jam for tea. . Soup, extra tea and sugar, and cigarettes are served out" to the men in the trenches. Tobacco is provided twice a week. This is the first campaign in which there has been no grumbling about the quantity and quality of the food. The most serious complaint it that plum jam is too frequently issued.
