A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE
"OVERLAND CHINA MAIL”
CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS
AND ALL THE NEWS
SEND IT HOME!
Though little of a war-like nature has taken place on the respective Chinese "fronts" during the past week, much of political import has happened. The neighbouring province of Kwangtung has furnished the most interesting news in this respect, in view of the gradual-return to Canton of various prominent Nationalists who have been siding with the Nanking or Hankow factions during the past few months. Now that these two forces have come to blows on the Yangtze and all prospects of a united Nationalist front in that quarter have disappeared, certain leaders are trekking back to their "spiritual home," Canton. How they are being received and the effect their coming may have on the policy of Gen. Li Chai-sum, the ruler of Canton, is set out by our Chinese observers and staff men in this week's "Overland Mail,” which also contains exclusive accounts of developments in the Fengtien-Shansi campaign..
Besides China news, local events are fully covered in the "Overland." There are full accounts of the trial of the alleged pirates who were aboard the s.s. "Irene" when she was shelled by a British naval vessel, and there is a description of the execution of the murderers of the late Mrs. Mackay, who was done to death by two Chinese on the roadside. Hong Kong's sporting activities, particularly in regard to the coming triangular Interport cricket contests, are fully dealt with, together with all news of social and commercial importance.
