OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
"Outstanding events of the week up to this Wednesday (inclusive) are graphically described in the Overland China Mail.
People at Home want to know all about the historic occurrences concerning sojourners in China. Better than writing a letter is to send along a copy with all the news.
OUR NAVAL CASUALTIES.
The events leading up to the Naval action on the Yangtse, details of the casualties suffered by the British in an a heroic attempt to uphold prestige, will be found in this week's' issue, together with names of ships taking part and other in- formation.
PICKETS AS PIRATES.
How action was taken against the Canton strike pickets by forces of H.M.'s Navy at Canton and Swatow-and the sequel to the incidents-is also described in the Overland China Mail. The "protest" of the Canton Foreign Ministry is included.
· WARS IN CHINA.
Prominence is now given by Home papers to the struggles in China, and the effect on foreign intercourse. Friends will be asking themselves questions. Not a cable from the daily publication has been omitted. Such tell the folks what they want to know. Despatches regarding the epic -defence of Wuchang will give readers an inkling into methods of Chinese warfare. Wu Pei-fu's "death," 'capture" and his real condition will also prove interesting.
The death of another well-known re- Colony's loss: sident, in Dr. J. C. Dalmahoy Allan, is recorded.
"Mutiny" on ship: What happened on a Hong Kong bound vessel, the "Talomba," when deportees gave the officers an anxious time, is told in full.-
All the local news of the week: All the local news is included in the Overland China Mail every week. out on Fridays in time for the mail.
A host of unique events in and around the Colony-com-" bining to let others know about life in the Far East-will be found. To mention only a few:---Reception to Prince Dahni and Princess Sipbam of Siam; Hong Kong as the "Island of Kisses" in a film taken here; Canton's decision to hand back mission hospitals; the Governor being entertained by Chinese; Hobbs's reply to local cricketers.
