A WEEK'S PAPERS

“OVERLAND CHINA MAIL”

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS

AND ALL THE NEWS

SEND IT HOME!

The past week has seen a revival of the anti-British boycott in Canton, goods being seized and Chinese passengers from British steamers being searched by uniformed pickets on the West Bund. Up to now, however, the latter have not func- tioned on the river.

Sensation has followed sensation on the Chinese war fronts during the week. Hankow is in a perilous plight; the Nanking armies are closing in; but the "Christian. General" who sent. an "S.O.S." to Nanking seems to be in dire peril of having his own lines broken by the Northern armies. In other directions, however, all is not well with the Northern armies, and unless they make considerably more headway the Nanking forces will be able to claim large victories.

Communists have been giving trouble in Canton and Tokyo on the anniversary of the Russian revolution, whilst a serious riot occurred in Shanghai, where the "White Russians" stormed the Soviet Consulate.
