With conditions remaining settled in the South, chief interest during the week has centred in the activities of the Nanking Nationalists and their threat of war-like activities against the Fengtien forces now in command at Peking.

A fillip has been given to their preparations by the report that General Chiang Kai-shek has paid a visit to General Feng Yu-hsiang, the "Christian General," and that the pair are to co-operate against the North:

The Peking party, in the meanwhile, are said to be con- sidering an attack upon Shansi, which possesses Nationalistic sympathies.

In Canton perfect peace reigns. The Southern capital has come into the limelight this week by reason of the visit of Sir Miles Lampson, the British, Minister at Peking. The itinerary of Sir Miles is published in full in this week's issue of the "Overland," which also brings the China situation up to date for the Homeside reader.
