A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE.
During the week reviewed in this issue of the "Overland Mail China's fortunes of war have switched completely around. No longer are the Northerners threatening the cities on the southern bank of the Yangtsze, and even Shanghai it self. They have been repulsed from such soundly held posi- tions as Pukow, Yangchow and, it is reported, Pengpu. Full details of this dramatic turnabout in Chinese military and political affairs are given in the "Overland."
The outstanding event locally was the introduction of the Budget in the Legislative Council and H.E. the Governor's masterly review of the finances of the Colony, particularly in regard to the influence of the 1925 boycott. Full Budget figures and financial statements, together with departmental reports, appear in the "Overland Man" this week.
The "Overland" contains a full resume of the week's social activities and sporting events. Let us send it Home for you.
