A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE.
A startling change has come over the political and military situation in China, and we are now said to be on the verge of witnessing another fight for the nich Chinese city of Shanghai. The story leading up to a more or less unknown general's pre- parations for a grand coup is fully told in this week's "Overland Mail," which also sets out complete reports of what has been happening on the Yangtze fighting fronts. Political observers contribute interesting articles regarding the Peace Conference which has opened at Nanking.
Conditions in Canton and Kwangtung generally come in for special treatment in the Overland. The position and power of the ruling general Li Chairsum is freely discussed, and comprehensive reports are given of activities in the various parts of the Province.
Matters of interest to Hong Kong-ites dealt with in the "Overland include the full report of the Legislative Council meeting at which the Unofficial Members gave their views on.
