A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE.
For the first time in many months Chinese military activi- ties have shifted from the Yangtze ports to the coastal city Swatow, which has been captured by a body of, "Reds." Situated in the Provincial of Kwangtung and nominally, under the dominance of General Li Chai-sum, Swatow capitulated to forces the invaders without much of a fight. Three Cantonese are now making their way towards the city, and it is expected. that the "Reds" will evacuate rather than force the relieving. soldiery.
The situation on the Yangtaze is not very definite. What is certain is that the breach between the Wu-Han and Nanking. Nationalists is gradually widening and that there is little likeli hood of a united government or military organisation to take up arms against the North. Full details are given in the "Ove land."
During the week the Portuguese colony of Hong Kong has been en fete in honour of the visit of H.E. the Governor of Macao. His Excellency's activities are fully set forth m this issue of the "Overland," Of great local interest also has been the trial of the two Chinese charged with the murder of a European lady, Mrs. Mackay, at Chai Wan, a little while ago. Sporting and social activities are fully dealt with in this issue.
