A WEEK'S PAPERS

“OVERLAND CHINA MAIL”
CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS
AND ALL THE NEWS
SEND IT HOME!
Several events this week are bound to. incréase, the de-. mand for the "Overland China Mail." Many copies are likely to be sent away, to give the obituary notices of Mr. R. G.- McEwen, Mr. Bertram Giles and Mr. W. G. Gerrard. Then, again, there have been a few more company meetings, reports of which business men are prone to forward to connections.
To ensure getting supplies, order at once, Particular interest has been displayed at Home this week on events in China. Discussion anent the tariff question, the conversations ancat the 1927 Nanking incident, the possibility of peace or war between North and South; the visit of Marshal Li Chai.sum, Hong Kong's good friend, to Nanking-these are all topics on which full information will be sought by friends at Home.
All the week's news, to which must be added sound comment, comprehensive explanations and special articles will be found, as usual, in the "Overland China Mail."
WHEN YOU GO ON LEAVE.
Hong Kong's spring exodus has begun. Are you going Home on leave this year? If you are, you will be surprised by the number of persons who will ask you about China and Hong Kong. You will be astonished at the number and type of silly questions it to you in all good faith. And you will have to admit reluctantly (if only to yourself) that you are. hot quite certain. Will you be believed, though? Keep in touch with Hong Kong and China by having the "Overland China Mail" sent to you for a stipulated period.
By spending a little time while you are on holiday, you can keep yourself well informed if you have the "Overland.” The articles which you will seek are written to help non- Chinese to understand. In any case, you will not regret, from your own point of view, being posted with the main develop ments (reported in brief) while you are away.
