CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS

AND ALL THE NEWS

SEND IT HOME!

Much of what is in the "Overland China Mail" this week will make the kind of reading about China, which Westerners like best...

There is that will of several lakhs of dollars left by a Chinese warlord. The series of attempted assassinations on Baron Tanaka, the Japanese Premier, and on General Chang Tsung-chang at Tientsin.:

Marshal Chang Tso-lin has been dead and alive again following the bomb sensation at Mukden; at least, it is known that he is wounded. Then there was some further bombing near Japanese premises in Mukden.

The continual aniping of British merchantmen on the Upper Yangtze River about a thousand miles up-will also stir the imagination of people at Home.

Closer to Hong Kong, there has been the tragedy of the "Kochow," full reports of which appear in the "Overland.”.

All developments in North China, what has occurred at Peking, Tientsin elsewhere, the withdrawal of Britons and other foreigners from mining and other zones-these are all described in the "Overland."

What is more, the "Overland China Mail", is the only weekly summary of Hong Kong and China news which is illus trated profusely illustrated with photos of catrrent events and personalities. Do not forget to send a copy Home. It tells how you are faring here and it will save writing several letters. WHEN YOU GO ON LEAVE.

Hong Kong's spaing 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 mumber and type of silly questions put to you is 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 touch with Hong Kong and China by having the "Overland China Mad" 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 now- Chinese to understand.
