Either for use here as a reference, or for sending Home" to" tell everything." this week's issue of the "Overland China Mail" will be found to be extremely useful."

As the weekly edition of the "China Mail," all the local news and reports by mail or cable--on China are included. What better then to take the place of a tedious letter?

are

OUR NAVAL HEROES.

There the latest despatches, giving vivid details of how 110 "British Naval men fought 20,000 Chinese at Wanhsien. The whole action and rescue is described at length. Particulars about additions to the China Fleet are mentioned and the British Minister's Note to Peking nicely rounds off the narrative.

BOYCOTT" SETTLEMENT:”

Mr. Eugene Chen's important despatch on the decision to“ settle the boycott and to impose new taxes is reproduced,

As with the case in all matters not readily understood, the "China Mail" has made it a practice to add footnotes or com- ment where required. Such will be found in profusion through the "Overland China Mail."

FOREIGNERS IN DANGER.

Many are the wild yarns which circulate abroad' about the dangers undergone by foreigners in China. This week's issue has much to say concerning events in the lives of British and others in Kwangtung, Kwangsi, central China, along. the Yangise and elsewhere.

Several messages throw much light on anti-British pro-

paganda..

ARTICLES BY EXPERTS.

In addition to the current local events, there are special articles written by experts, such as "Who's who in the Canton Army." Latest Picket Activities on the River.

The protest against the treatment of a British subject in Swatow will make interesting reading.
