SUN YAT-SEN'S STATUE
Banned In Tokyo
The whole countryside for days afterwards.wds a scene of desola tion into which relief workers could not penetrate, because floods covered the land and wreck: age made the roads impassable. In this wilderness hundreds of negro refugees lived in trees or in floating rafts, suffering from hunger as they had before suffer- ed from exposure, and out of their agony they made the song which the officials of the Red Cross have now recorded:-
On the sixteenth of September In the year nineteen' twenty-
eight,
God started riding early And he rode till late. He rode out on the ocean,
Chained the lightning to his

Stepped on the land at West

And the wicked hearts did yield.

Britain and France have extended official recognition to the National Goverment of China. The ceremonies and interchange of salutes at Nanking are fully reported in the "Overland China Mail," copies of which will be highly prized in other parts of the world.
The "Overland" is the only illustrated weekly budget of Hong Kong & China news. It is a welcome gift all the year round. It tells how Christmas was spent in the Colony.
