THE CHINA MAIL,

Ireland, the place and its inhabit- ante, are misunderstood abroad, we are told, largely because of mis- | representation by the Irish them; : solves. The outsider bases his judg- ment on the national character of the Irish as portrayed in the aggre- gate of Irish plays, says "M. R." in The Irish Statesman" (Dublin), and in those plays he finds an as- sortment of "vulgar self-seekers, drunken tondles, cowardly bullies, thieves, Hars and gunmen, relieved only,by sufficient Christian charac ters to make the general atmoz- phere more deplorable." As no for. egner could conceive that the Irish I would show themselves in anything but the most rosy light, it is alleged, be will naturally conclude that na a place for a holiday Ireland should' come well after Mexico and Russia, The Irish have carried this, self- depreciation to such a length, that whenever a drink-solden wheedler staggers onto the stage, he is at once accepted by the audience au & typical Irishman, and it is naked:

WESTERN HOTEL NOW COMPLETE

The old golf course has been renovated and enlarged from a nine hole to an 18 hole course, under the encircling shadow of the mountains.

"Can we blame an English or American audience who comes to this conclusion? Surely not, for they only believe, what we tell them; we ought to know, and we never suggest, that there could ex- ist any kind of culture or honesty in Ireland unless it be introduced on the stage for the obvious purpose of showing how efficiently it is scotched by the typically Irish' de gradation of the surroundings,

A WEEK'S PAPERS IN ONE

"OVERLAND CHINA MAIL" ILLUSTRATED.

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS

AND ALL THE NEWS

SEND IT HOME!

Demand for the "Overland China Mail," the only illus- trated weekly record of Hong Kong news and China events, is steadily increasing. This week's issue will be just as interesting as those of the past which, evidently, have found favour.

In Hong Kong, there has been the unique appeal to the Full Court against the decision of a Police Magistrate a very rare occurrence which brought light on the fact that the Colony's law on such a matter is different from that of other British Colonies.

The Chinese outcry for increase of water rations has led to the supply being, discussed by législators. By a coincidence. the Homeland has been enjoying a spell of real summery weather, accompanied by a prolonged drought.

In the political world, the "Overland" tells of the trouble at Chefoo where are several hundreds of British people, and the arrival there of H.M.S. "Magnolia.' Strange to say, the American authorities deem the time opportune to reduce their garrison of marines at Tientsin by one-third.

Japan has occupied the forefront of attention. Exchange of notes, warnings etc. between her and China is recorded in the "Overland." The cables, reports, comment and footnotes on this subject will provide food for thought for people at Home who recall that Sir Austen Chamberlain said that it had not been recognised that Japan had a favoured position in North China.

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- 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.
