"OVERLAND CHINA MAIL"
CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS
AND ALL THE NEWS
SEND IT HOME!
Tsinanfu, the capital of Shantung province, the city, on the Yellow River and the junction of important railways, has.. been captured by the Nationalist allies from the Northerners..
Much of importance is attached to this event in the North China War. Only last week Commander J. Kenworthy asked the Home Government if it was still necessary for British. troops to remain in China. Interest in developments is now very keen because the lives and properly of foreigners in Shantung may be endangered. Japan has prepared. The U. S. Consul at Chefoo has asked for Naval reinforcements and there are other signs of uneasiness.
How the war is being carried out, what effect it has.on relations generally and the influence on:China generally is. described fully in this week's "Overland China Mail,”
The "Overland" will be more than doubly welcome. It contains the report of the annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, of how St. George's Day was observed, of the.. epidemic of local window-smashing by men in the Army, and... of several company meetings.
As usual, all the local news, social and sport occurrences," and the China cables are reproduced in this excellent issue of.. the "Overland."
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 put to you in all good faith. And you will have to admit reluctantly (if only to yourself) that you are not 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.
