A WEEK'S PAPERS

IN ONE

"OVERLAND CHINA MAIL"

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS

AND ALL THE NEWS

SEND IT HOME!

This week's issue of the "Overland China Mail" contains much of interest for residents who have gone on holiday and for others who have connections with Hong Kong and China generally.

Anxiety was caused by a rumour that British nationals had been instructed to leave the port of Chefoo. The official denial and explanations are in the "Overland."

The war in North China reached a stage at which the Japanese precautionary expedition co-operated with Nation- alist troops in maintaining order in the city of Tsinanfu, in Shantung province. The main Japanese force moved inland from the coast, ready to march the last 50 miles if necessary.

Considerable attention in Hong Kong was drawn to the debate in the Legislative Council as the result of a motion tabled by the Hon. Sir Henry Pollock in connection with children's playgrounds in Kowloon and public bathing facilities in the Colony.

The sensational murder of Mr. Lee Hysan, the wealthy Chinese merchant, is fully described.

Furthermore, there are reports of Chief Petty Officer Kelsey's trial at the Sessions, an account of the St. Stephen's College ceremony at Stanley, the appeal by the Rev. J. C. Knight Anstey for a new Sailors and Soldiers" home, the local and sport news, and the week's China and Japan cables.

WHEN YOU GO ON LEAVE.

Hong Kong's spring exodus has begun. Are you going. Home on leave this year? If you are, you will be surprised by the number of persons who will ask you about China and Hong Kong. You will be astonished at the number and type of silly questions put to you in all good faith. And you will have to admit reluctantly (if only to yourself) that you are not quite certain. Will you be believed, though? Keep in touch with Hong Kong and China by having the "Overland China Mail" sent to you for a stipulated period.

By spending a little time while you are on holiday, you can keep yourself well informed if you have the, "Overland.”. The articles which you will seek are written to help non- Chinese.to understand. In any case, you will not regret, from your own point of view, being posted with the main develop ments (reported in brief) while you are away..
