CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS

and all the NEWS. The Weekly paper that saves you the trouble of writing Home.

This week's "Overland China Mail" is again full of good· things. Later news about the King Edward Hotel fire, the holding of the Coroner's inquest, and other developments take a prominent place. Pictures of the fire have also been included

Much of interest has happened in China. The third national Congress of the Nationalist Party-described in one quarter as the annual general meeting of shareholders in the Republic of China, convened by the directors in session in Nanking has opened with the usual blaze of trumpets. Immediately before that was the settlement of the Hunan trouble when recurrence of civil war seemed to be impending.

As usual, all the "local" and "China"

is published in the "Overland.". If there was anything that struck your particular notice during the last few days, get it in the "Over land" and send it away. Others will be wanting to read it as well.

The Overland, as is commonly known, is the only illustrated weekly news budget printed in Hong Kong--local views by local people. It is published for posting away to other parts of the world for those interested in China gen- erally and Hong Kong in particular.
