A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE.
THE "OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.”
LINK BETWEEN HOME AND HONG KONG.
י
So many startling incidents have rapidly followed each other that even the Chinese themselves are at loss to cope with the trend of events.
||
Acknowledged as "the link with Hong Kong," this week's issue should be sent to all friends abroad to let them under- 'stand what is happening all over China.
WATCHED BY THE EYES OF THE WORLD. Most difficult for foreigners to understand is the split in the Nationalist Party, a quarrel on which the eyes of the world are turned. The daily reports, backed up by notes in concise form, will give the information that is sought.
People at Home admit that they are nonplussed by the. complications in the China situation. There is no more wel come gift for them than a copy of the "Overland."
EVERY PHASE GRAPHICALLY DESCRIBED.
How foreign refugees are hastily leaving various parts of China, how Japan has been embroiled in Hankow, how the "Stars and Stripes" were "torn down at "Chungking, how British residents have undergone hardships-these are all graphically described.
Chiang Kai-shek's considered views, side by side with the Russian-inspired Comtnunist slogans, will make very interesting reading.

Loyalty to the cause of one's own nation impela compliance with the duty of keeping those further away posted as to the facts.
