Speaking in Edinburgh not long since, Lord Thomson, the late Air Minister, amused his audience by saying that, in his twenty-six years of soldiering, four out of the fival Chiefs of Staff under whom he served were Scotsmen and disci plinarians.

“OVERLAND CHINA MAIL” ILLUSTRATED.

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS

AND ALL THE NEWS

SEND IT HOME!

A word in the right place does much to remove misunder- standing. A right word in the right place creates sympathy and friendship. Therefore, tell your folks and business con nections at Home or in other parts of the world what is happen- ing in Hong Kong particularly and in China generally.

The easiest way to do so, of course, is by sending a copy of the "Overland China Mail.". An order can be placed with us for despatch to any address for any fixed period. The "Overland" is the only ILLUSTRATED weekly supmary of news published in Hong Kong, including all that is interest- ing in the daily edition.

This week is the first of the annual Budget period in the Colony. The Government asks for about 19% millions of dollars for public services in 1929 and for 84 laklis of dollars for supplementary expenditure in 1928.

There has been the unique instance of the second month with a blank Criminal Sessions calendar this year and the pre- sentation of the pair of white gloves to the Chief Justice.

Up North, anxiety felt about the foreign communities in the Chinese war zone has been allayed--but only after the complete evacuation of all non-Chinese to a position of safety. Along the Yangtze River, the British Navy has taken part in another joint raid on outlaws.

Full details of these happenings appear in the illustrated "Overland."
