Detailed reports from this part of the world; from an impartial source, must be particularly welcome just now.
EVERYTHING OF INTEREST. "
1)
The latest issue of the "Overland" includes the unique". "seditious literature" case (as an illustration of Labour Union unreasonableness); the reports right from the beginning of the Shanghai strike (ncluding the cables about Chinese offi-" cials beheading strike agitatore); the settlement of the Harkow dispute (with subsidiary statements); the China War and Canton's advance on Shanghai; and, as usual, all the local news and China cables.
WEALTH OF VARIETY.
What better subject can one choose to write Home about? But the "Overland" will save you the trouble of writing a dozen" letters. It has been proved to serve its purpose and will con- tinue to do so.
