Show TEA FOR MEN !N TRENCHES Englishmen Believe French and German Ger-man Soldiers May Form Habit. London. Both the French and German Ger-man troops are being supplied with tea in the trenches. Tea is easier to make and is a better thirst quencher than coffee and it also keeps warm longer, which is an important consideration consid-eration in the trenches. It is just possible that both the French and Germans will get to like tea, and both nations may become large tea users after the war. At present France and Germany, with a combined population of more than a hundred millions, are negligible as tea consumers. . It is likely that Englishmen too many learn some new tastes and new habits when the British soldiers come home. They may bring back a tasie for strong coffee, cheap wine and black cigarettes. French soldiers brought back from Algeria the taste of r:l siiithe, and English officers trough t from Egypt in 1SS5 the cigaivtte habit. |
