SEND IT HOME!
The week has been an exceptionally busy one both in "local" and "China" news. It is only to be, expected, there- fore, that the latest number of the "Overland China Mail" is a bumper issue. full of good reading matter for anybody inter- ested in China generally, and Hong Kong particularly.
Furthermore, the "Overland" is the only illustrated weekly budget of news printed in this Colony.
Business men all over the world will naturally take note of the suggested schemes of re-construction in China, in which financiers of other nations may take part. Particulars and comment will be found in handy form in the "Overland.” |-
Concise but none the less descriptive are the reports relating to the China and Japan "conversations" which, it is hoped, will pave the way towards removal of understanding between the two most important countries in the Orient.
Then there is a possibility of a new war in the North- also fully dealt with, as is the topic of Sino-Foreign co- opération.
In the Colony itself, judgments concerning the shipping and mercantile communities have been delivered, a multitude. of sports engagements have been held, the Criminal Sessions have provided remarkable trials, and the season of "returning from Home leave" has set in.
If you want to tell your friends about occurrences out. here, send them the "Overland." It will be highly appreciated.
