TRIUMPH OF EFFICIENCY,

Aldershot, June 21.

The Aldershot Tattoo is prob- ably our greatest spectacle, and is certainly our greatest triumph of efficiency. And when I made a thorough examination of its inner machinery to-day I could under- stand the reason a little (says a writer in a Heme paper).

The next Aldershot Tattoo begins when the last one ends,

Within a few weeks of the. tattoo ending the broad principle of the next receives the final approval of the general; and then the miracle happens. The units make themselves responsible for "turns," if the world can be ap plied to these huge spectacles. The commanding officer of a unit, having been asked, say, to stage an illustrious episode or a siege famous in history, becomes author and stage manager in one, 'and his officers, N.C.Q.s and 'men rally with suggestions.

On top of the grand stand, just before the tattoo begins, the chief marshal takes his seat. At five different entrance points round the arena the vice-marshals are ready to introduce their actors to time.

Each vice-marshal has a green light focussed on the eye of the chief marshal, and while that light is shown the chief knows that all is well at that point, that the actors will march on prompt to the cue

Beside the chief marshal is a microphone, for broadcasting an- nouncements to the crowd. Some- what above him is the officer in charge of the searchlights, who can blot out all or part of the flood of light from the search- lights at the touch of a button.

One of the outstanding points

in the organisation is the efficient arrangement by which the thou-

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 legislators. 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.
