“OVERLAND CHINA MAIL”. ILLUSTRATED.

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS AND ALL THE NEWS

SEND IT HOME!

News about China is anxiously awaited in several parts of the world at the moment. Messages have come to Hong Kong from several capitals indicating the degree of interest dis- played in the activities of the Nationalist Government in diplomatic affairs. The "Overland China Mail" this week supplies the want of people in Europe and America who wish. to know about the trend of affairs here.

America, Japan, France, Italy and, Britain are a few of the countries, whence despatches have emanated evincing a keen desire to be acquainted with developments in China. Business men and other friends will be grateful to residents of Hong Kong who send them a week's news in handy form, supplemented by comment, notes, explanations and special articles, such as will be found in the "Overland China Mail"

This week's "Overland," in addition to the usual features, is generously illustrated with photos and pictures of life in Hong Kong and China, It contains also a number of trade reviews of 1927 and the Full Court judgment in the Batt's v. · Silva-Netto Appeal-a matter of great importance to trade.

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 mumber 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.
