A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE.

THE “ OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.”

All those at Home who are interested, directly or indirect- ly, in Hong Kong and its relations with-China will be pleased to have heard the re-assuring statement by Mr. G. Locker Lampson.

That very informative, but nevertheless brief, announce- ment has served as an appetiser. Further news is wanted.

Business houses in Hong Kong should tell their con- nections what conditions are prevailing. Individuals should keep their friends posted as to events. Why has trade between Hong Kong and South China improved?

The "Overland China Mail', will answer for you, a number of questions which are always cropping up. Each day's China cables, reports and local news will be found on reference to an index in each issue. For reading or for reference, the "Overland" is equally useful.

This week's Overland tells clearly and concisely how a net is spreading around the Chinese Communists at Hankow how the anti-foreign party is beset with a food shortage, an economic crisis and impending invasion; how foreign vessels have been

been wantonly attacked, with casualties to an American gunboat, how a British hulk was bumed by mischief makers; how the series of startling events at Canton affects Hong Kong all with footnotes and nations which tell non-Chinese what they keenly wish to know about China.
