SPECIAL CANTON PICTURES.

Special photographs appear in this week's issue of the "Overland China Mail" depicting the stirring and bloody events that took place in Canton recently, when Communists sacked the city, driving from it what few Ironside troops there were there.
Canton has not yet recovered from the blow, despite the fact that the city is again in the hands of the Government troops. Efforts are being made to secure the return of General, Li Chai-sum, the business community being anxious to experience something like settled conditions before Chinese New Year. At present little commercial or industrial activity is apparent. Full reports of events in Canton appear in the "Overland."
