A WEEK'S PAPERS
IN ONE
"OVERLAND CHINA MAIL"
CHINA NEWS,
LOCAL NEWS
AND ALL THE NEWS
SEND IT HOME!
Till a few years ago, there was an opinion that social and other activities in the Colony dwindled down consider- ably during the summer. This is not the case in the "hustle" of modern times.
The latest issue of the "Overland China Mail" has amoug its features, the following for one week's events in Hong Kong:--
Departure of H.E. the Governor and assumption of office by Hon. Mr. W. T. Southorn,
Copious extras from the report of the University, show- ing the part it takes in public life,
A review of the activities of the Roman Catholic Church in-China by Mr. W. G. Fitz-Gibbon, M.A.,
Presentations of colours to the Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps,
Dedication of "pai lau" in memory of Chinese who lost their lives in the Great War,
Laying of foundation stone at Tung Wah Eastern Hos- pital, with address by H.E. the Governor,
cases,
Judgment by the Full Court in the Chater Estate appeal
Presentation of the Silver Wolf to the Rev. G. T. Waldegrave.
Pride of place must be given, however, to the Tsinan in- cident which has brought so much bloodshed to the Chinese and Japanese and has evoked the widest interest all over the world. The "Overland's" account is not merely a tabulated list of cables and messages. Explanations and comment where necessary, so that pion-Chinese can comprehend what is taking place, will be found with our report.
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.
