A WEEK'S PAPERS

IN ONE

"OVERLAND CHINA MAIL' ILLUSTRATED.

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS

AND ALL THE NEWS

SEND IT HOME!

Anxiety extending over a long period has been partially set at rest by the manner in which the way is being paved to the Nationalist occupation of Peking.

Before the Southemers reach the historic city gates, Commander J. M. Kenworthy pops a question in Parliament as to what Britain will do. One of His Majesty's Ministers replies that as soon as certain information is known, Britain will act. What the Home Govemment is going to do will be -a-matter-for-conjecture. But everybody at Home will be wanting to know the circumstances which lead up to the Gov ernment's decision.

- THAT INFORMATION AND MUCH ELSE IS SUPPLIED IN THE "OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.”.

One feature of the "Overland" is that it will be copiously illustrated with pictures of Things and Events Chinese- pictures which will be appreciated by friends away from China.

The story of the sensational bomb attack at Mukden, causing the death and wounding of Generals and others, is also related skilfully.

The local list of Birthday Honours, the article on how Hong Kong observed King's Birthday and others are among the host of good things in this week's number.

Remember the "Overland China Mail"the only weekly resume of local and China events in Hong Kong which is illustrated.

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.
