"OVERLAND CHINA MAIL " ILLUSTRATED.

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS

AND ALL THE NEWS

SEND IT HOME!

Mr. "Putnam Wcale's" investigations on the spot have led to revelations of absorbing interest about the assassination of Marshal Chang Tso-lin in Mukden, the home-capital of the former Manchurian Emperors, of China. Apart from his references to the sinister secret societies which have existed for years, an amazing narrative has been provided for the "OVERLAND CHINA MAIL," the only illustrated weekly sum- mary of China and local news published in Hong Kong. only because of his accusation against "certain people in the Japanese Army" for having helped the murderers, the writer has caused a deep stir in political circles. In short, the story, reproduced by the "Overland" in extenso, is of the type that will provide welcome reading in all parts of the world, coming as it does from the romantic East.

•

Large numbers of "oversea weekly" editions of Home. papers come to Hong Kong because people here do not wish to lose touch with the Old Country. Similarly, do you not think, Hong Kong-ites or former residents in other parts of the world always like to hear about events out here. Keep your friends, folks and business connections well posted. You can do so by sending the "Overland." This week there has.. been much of local and topical importance, such as the pre- parations for the International Grand Tattoo, the piracy scare on the British s.s. “Tean," recalling the "Jervis Bay" episode which surprised more than one continent, the visit of Chinese and Philippine notables, the death of a former high official, etc.

As usual, the features in the "Overland" deal comprehen- sively with matters of wide scope. What the Nationalists are doing, after having signed the Nanking Incident Settlement with Britain (the full text with relevant notes have been included and should be kept all for reference), is told, with possible bearing on Hong Kong and South China conditions. An expert review of China's Commercial Treaties, also articles on the political, faction and clique, intrigue, Sino-Japanese réla- tions, the visit of the Danish Minister the first foreign diplomat-to Nanking, are among the "Overland's" contents too numerous to riention.
