A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE.
China's civil war has taken a new turn which is com plicated enough to be described as a puzzle to non-Chinese.
Some suggest that "people are tired of the war in China"; but it should be borne in mind that nationals or Powers in Europe and America are deeply interested because of the danger to the respective Legations.
This week's "Overland China Mail" explains-in a manner which is bound to be of assistance to the foreigner- how Peking is being involved in a momentous struggle.
+
Also, tell your friends in other parts of the world how. Hong Kong observed H.M. the King's birthday by a pageant of splendour. Tell former Hong Kong residents about the parade the like of which was never seen in the Colony before. Do so by sending them a copy of the "Overland.".
The week's local news, China cables, political articles and other reports will all be found in the "Overland" as usual.
