A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE
"OVERLAND CHINA MAIL" ILLUSTRATED.
CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS
AND ALL THE NEWS
SEND IT HOME!
Demand for the "Overland China Mail," the only illus- trated weekly record of Hong Kong news and China events, is steadily increasing: This week's issue will be just as interesting as those of the past which, evidently, have found favour.
4
In Hong Kong, there has been the unique appeal to the Full Court against the decision of a Police Magistrate-a.very rare occurrence which brought light on the fact that the Colony's law on such a matter is different from that of other British Colonies.
The Chinese outcry for increase of water rations has led to the supply being discussed by legislators. By a coincidence, the Homeland. has been enjoying a spell of real summery weather, accompanied by a prolonged drought.
In the political world, the "Overland” tells of the trouble at Chefoo where are several hundreds of British people, and the arrival there of H.M.S. "Magnolia." Strange to say, the American authorities deem the time opportune to reduce their garrison of marines at Tientsin by one-third.
Japan has occupied the forefront of attention. Exchange of notes, warnings etc. between her and China is recorded in the "Overland." The cables, reports, comment and footnotes on this subject will provide food for thought for people at Home who recall that Sir Austen Chamberlain said that it had not been recognised that Japan had a favoured position in North China.
WHEN YOU GO ON LEAVE.
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 And you will have to admit reductantly (if only
good faith
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 stipu lated 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.
