· WELCOME GIFT TO FOLKS AT HOME.

Much of interest has occurred in Hong Kong and China this week, so that the current number of the "Overland China Mail" will prove a very welcome gift to folks at Home.

Post-Strike Conditions: All local news, Chinese reports, despatches and cables published daily with footnotes and explanations are reproduced in the "Overland." Stage: by stage, post-Strike conditions are described better than a dozen letters could do.

Strikers Give Trouble: How the strikers have given trouble and a startling disclosure as to activities of Canton's" "Iron Blooded Corps" have led to important articles in the daily paper. These will be found in the “weekly.”

||

Regimental Change: Beginning with the address of Lt. Col. Comyn on the arrival of the 2nd Scottish Borderers and ending with the farewell march of the 17E. Surreys, this week' has seen the local regiment changed. Full reports included.

Trafalgar Day, as observed in Hong Kong, is reported side by side with latest intelligence about Yangtse attacks on British gunboats. There is also the news of outrages against foreign communities in several ports.

Other Features: such include the ladies short, sleeve controversy: Kowloon community activities: Triple. Disaster on the West River; abortive Shanghai coup Engineers' In- stitute lecture: local sport; cartoon &c.--all making a com- plete narrative of life out here and excellent value in compact form for reference or for sending away.
