The countries of origin for the latter years have not yet been gazetted, but in 1913 the United States and Canada supplied us to the value of £312,835, against £340,104 from the United Kingdom, while at the (dose of the first war year, 1914, the proportion had turned against the Mother Country to the extent of £366,451, as compared with £348,164.
