A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE.
The past week has seen a change in the fortunes of the war in China. The Northern advance has been stemmed on the banks of the Yangtze River, where the Nationalist despite the absence of Chiang Kai-shek, are making a deter- mined stand. The Northerners, for their part, are very con- fident, and look forward to soon being in Shanghai again, with their chief, Marshal Chang Tso-lin, as virtual ruler of China. ̧ Kwangtung and Kwangsi, of course, would not come under his dominance.

The full series of events leading up to dramatic stand against a superior and victorious force is told in this wook's "Overland Mail.”
