A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE.

The resignation of Chiang Kai-shek, the Nationalist leader, has necessitated a number of political and military moves, the most important of which has been the unification of the Yangtaze forces those of Hankow and Nanking-who have announced their intention of joining any offensive taken against Marshal Chang Tso-lin and his Northern warlords. So far, how- ever, they have done nothing in the way of fighting, and in the meanwhile the Northern forces which completely subjugated Chiang Kai-shek's armies have established themselves on the banks of the Yangtsze. It would seem that they are in a posi- tion to cross at Pukow (and thus capture Nanking) and Chin- kiang whenever they like. Important developments are early expected in these quarters, Full reports of the incidents lead- ing up to the present situation are given in this week's "Overland Mail."

This issue also contains the cream of the news on China generally and all items of local importance, including full story of the big typhoon which struck the Colony a few days

.ago.
