SPECIAL COLOURED SUPPLEMENT with PICTURES of all local events is given in the

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS
and all the NEWS,
The Weekly paper that saves you the trouble of writing Home.
Because it struck the Colony on a Thursday, the typhoon is reported in this week's "Overland China Mail," the first weekly news budget published after the event. But because it is printed this week, the "Overland" contains a complete account, not only of the storm here, but also of the aftermath and its effect on other places. The full story will be eagerly read elsewhere as many people will desire to amplify their information (from the perusal of cursory cables) of what occurred
Your folks in the Old Country, your friends outside Hong Kong, and your pal on Home leave will think it very thoughtful of you to post a copy or two to "let them know all about it "
{་

Furthermore, there is much else of interest in the "Over- land." As usual, a large variety of items is covered, dealing with "local" events, of which there are so many of importance that it is difficult to single out a few for mention.
Thea, again, the Home papers have been giving prominence to incidents in Manchuria, in the dispute between China and Russia. The "Overland" contains all the informa- tive cables and articles obtainable about this latest "war" and it will be read studiously in both Europe and America.
The art supplement of the "China Mail" is given away free with the "Overland." Make sure of your requirements as the demand this week is already heavy.
In the whirl of a trying Hong Kong sumer, letters to relatives and friends to other parts of the world frequently fail to be written oven by the most ardent correspondents. It is a kindly thought, therefore. "to ensure that those away from the Colony, or jolks at Home, should have an unfailing supply of Hong Kong and China nows every week by! means of a subscription to the "Overland -China Mail."
Without any trouble of packing and worrying about the Post Office on your part, and at a one-and- ant cost of II.K.$5.75 for three months, the "Overland China Mail will be sent Home for you every week, catching the maid regularly It containe just the news features

A former President of the
Court, Judge Loo Hsing-yuan's policy was regarded as one of co- operation with the local Consular Body. He successor, Dr. S. C. Ho, was aucased of pursuing à policy in which Chinese political influences were allowed to per- meate the Court's functions. The carcers of both were short-lived. Judge Loo was peremptorily dis- missed from ofice and censured by the National Government for his so-called laxity in dealing with' cases with a 'communist tinge. Dr. Ho's resignation was, according to his statement, antely actuated by a desire o retire, owing to over work.
To Allow No Break Questioned by a representative of "The Shanghai Timas." Judge Wu stated that it was his desire to allow no break in the administration of the Court's affairs.

Letters of congratulation have poured in to Judge Wu from a number of organizations and in- dividuals, of both the Chinese and foreign communities. Judge Wu, however, assumed his office after an informal cere- mony, a part of which is the announcement of his inaugural statement in the Chinese and foreign papena,
