A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE.
The past week in China has been marked with a good deal of actual fighting, as well as a number of events of political importance. Chiang Kai-shek, the Nanking war lord, after long preparation, met the Northerners near Pengpu, and suffered a rather severe defeat. Much military activity is reported from Shantung.
The "Christian General," Feng Yu-hsiang, has again enter-
ed the arena, this time as "generalissimo" for the Hankow party, which, owing to a number of deflections, is considered to be in a state of disintegration. Eugene Chen is reported to be in Shanghai. Full accounts of the week's military and in which political moves are given in the "Overland Mail," in there are a week's papers in one, the news being summarised and pieced together day by day so that a complete and logical story is presented to the reader.
Hong Kong domestic events and the general news of China are covered in the "Overland" very, fully, and in all respects the paper is an ideal one to send Home. Let us post. it for you.
