[To the Jam from the Land of the Southern Cross]
S. Africa cable:— “London, May 22. — “The War Office has purchased 1,678 tons of Australian jam for South Africa.”
To the jam from the land of the Southern Cross
A tribute of praise is paid;
But the Crown has a further compliment,
For the King his only son has sent
To return the “marmalade.”
