"Large quantities of supplies—i.e.. bacon, preserved meat, jam, peas, haricot beans, butter, flour, cheese, sugar, and condensed ,milk—for the use of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force in the United Kingdom, are sent monthly or as shipping space permits," states Major General Robin, in his annual report. "The supplies are purchased through the Munitions and Supplies Department, delivery being taken by the Army Service Corps for shipment. It is found that these supplies^ can be landed in England! at a much less cost than the rates ruling there, so that the cost of maintenance of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force in England is materially decreased. The supplies are all of first quality, and, though shipments have been going oni for %c past two years, not one complaint has been received." The chief feature about the Christmas number of the New Zealand Observer, just to hand, is a very fine inset fully illustrative of the Kaiser's present plight. It is based on. the celebrated picturo by the late Sir W. O. Orchaxdeon, R.A., dcpietina: Napoleon on the deck of the vessel carrying him _ to his exile oh St. Helena. The picturo is well worth preserving as en end cif tim «*r memento.
