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 sapplies 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,
