A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE
"OVERLAND CHINA MAIL”
ILLUSTRATED.
CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS
AND ALL THE NEWS
SEND IT HOME!:
Fittingly appropriate for the week before Christmas, Hong Kong's social season is at its height. At no other time of the year, perhaps, have there been so many activities to record.
The current issue of the "Overland China Mail," the only illustrated weekly budget of Hong Kong and China news. reflects the busy period the Colony has experienced..
There are reports of weddings, "school functions (also 'Varsity exam results), Church meetings, the "Phil.'s" produc- tion of "Tom Jones" and of a host of other topics.
Questions were asked in the House of Commons several times during the last few days in regard to China and Japan. Britain's policy, in official wording, is stated in the "Overland." Up-country, there has been an historic campaign against the bandits of Ku Tau Mountains, who have held that strọng- hold for decades. A graphic description of the fight appears in the "Overland."
Adding further variety to the "Overland" is the news concerning a number of family fortunes which have been the Reports of Criminal Sessions subject of Court decisions.
trials have also been included:
The batch of local and topical pictures in the "Overland"
is well worth sending Home and to friends and business con-
nections in other parts of the world.
