This week's issue of the "Overland China Mail," the weekly edition of the "China Mail" and the only illustrated weekly suminary of "local" and "China" news published in Hong Kong, is well up to the high standard maintained.
It is full of informative reading matter and topical pictures which will be very welcome in other parts of the world.
Of particular interest to Servicemen and their friends is the series of reports concerning the Royal Navy, the Army and the Royal Air Force. There are also the articles about. the change of Commander-in-Chief of the Station.
Hong Kong, and China generally, has been prominent again in the House of Commons--which is always proof that people at Home want to know what is going on out here.
Take for instance the latest trouble threatening at Chefoo where there is a big foreign community and whence a British man-of-war has proceeded to give protection if needed. The "Overland China Mail" gives the most reliable and the most. informative news about developments.

In spite of the delight, and fascination of travel, of seeing the world, I sometimes wish for my own little cabbage patch. You mustn't misunderstand me, I'm very glad to be able to see all the wonderful places we've been in, but one does get tired of living in trunks and never settling down in one place, you know!"
