AND ALL THE NEWS

SEND IT HOME!

Considerable significance is attached to the return of Wu Pei-fu who, three years ago was the strong man of China, is now reported to have placed himself at the head of 200,000 men along the Upper Yangtsze. His re-entry into the political arena at this stage, when the Nationalists have gained inost of China Proper, may have much influence on events during the next year or two.

Latest developments are recorded in this week's "Overland China Mail" in which will also be found a series of special contributions from a political correspondent dealing with several topics of moment. Possible peace between the Nation- alists and Manchuria is another subject referred to; also the position of Japan and other foreign Powers in relation to China's attitude on treaties.

The first typhoon of the season and the Court Martial of a Naval officer are among the most prominent of local events reported in the "Overland China Mail," the only illustrated weekly summary of "local" and "China" news.

WHEN YOU GO ON LEAVE. 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 reductantly (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 stipu- lated 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- case, you will not regret, from "Chinese to understand. In an
