SPECIAL COLOURED SUPPLEMENT with PICTURES of all local events is given in the
OVERLAND CHINA MAIL. CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS
and all the NEWS.
The Weekly paper that savez you the trouble of writing Home.
Normal transit of newspapers via the Siberian route has not been resumed. This is one of the reasons why the people in the Old Country are all the more anxious to read of latest developments in this part of the world. The Suez Canal route remains and, for the Homeward journey, all Hong Kong papers (except not too big cuttings which go as letters) are sent that way. Won't you post a copy of the "Overland" to a friend, who will be very pleased to read its contents ?
The "Overland." as is generally known, is the only weekly news budget published in Hong Kong with pictures. This week's issue tells about "Red Thursday" (a predecessor of which was the Communist demonstration outside the Chinese Legation in London); about the improvement in water supplies; about the apathy of the British public towards their own interest in China; about the floods in the North and the disasters in Japan; and, in fact, all the "local" and “China” news of the week.
In the whirl of a trying Hong Kong summer rendered all the more unbearable by the acute shortage of water, letters to relativen and friends in other parts of the world frequently fail to be written even by the most ardent correspondents. It is a hiidly thought, therefore, to ensure that those away from the Colony, or folks at Home, should have an unfailing supply of Hong Kong and Chino news every week by means of a subcription to the
Mail." "Overland China Mail."
Without any trouble of packing and worrying about the Post Office on your part, and at a one-and-only cost of HK$3.75 for three months, the "Overland China Mail" will be sent Home for you every week, catching the mail regularly. It contains just the news, features and pictures from the daily "China Mail that make a studied appeal to people with any interest whatsoever in Hong Kong, and many letters testify to the keen pleasure and interest its weekly arrival bringa,
For your folks at Home to resolve this weekly budget, or to keep yourself posted with affairs during your abacuse, all that you have to do is to drop a chit to the "Overland China Meil." The word "Overland" is a reminder of the experience behind the production, it having been published since the early days of the Colony, to be sent OVERLAND because there was no Suez Canal, and that was the quickest route by which to get mail Home. In the march of times, the "Overland China Mail" has become the only weakly news budget which has picturee. It is made just to sut requirements, as it has done all along. What more codd be desired

and sciznres. That the leading Copper Cash men in Nanking hold that view is Copper Cents apparent from General Chiang Kai-Rate of Native In- shek's statement that China will not attempt to abolish extraterri- toriality by force.
Problem Summarized In addition to this question, the Russians have raised the issue of the use by China of "White" Rus- sians for political and military purposes in Manchuria and Mongo- lia. Attaman Semenoff's name looms large in this connection and whoever is responsible for his em- ployment, if he is employed on be half of China, has done his country infinite mischief.
The whole problem can thus be summarized:
1. Soviet Russia demands that the question of the Chinese Eastern Railway shall be settled by negotia tion and not by seizure of the rail- road.
2. China demands that Soviet Russia shall cease Communist pro- paganda and political activities in China.
3. Russia demands that China shall not use "White" Russians to disturb the Sino-Soviet frontier.
"Peace With Honour". Surely such issues can be settled without a resort to arms! Surely there can be "peace with honour""
