FOREIGN CARS

BIG INCREASE REPORTED IN

GERMANY

The success which the foreign motorcar industry is achieving on the Germany narket is dis- closed by the "Borsen Courier."

One-third of all motor-cars sold in Berlin during the past year were of foreign origin, or assembled by foreign firms there from imported parts, whereas in the previous year the proportion of foreign sales was

less than one fifth. The value of the cars

-

was £600.000 in 1913, last year to £3,500,000.

Not only is the industry losing ground at home, but also abroad

CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS

and all the NEWS.

The Weekly paper that saves you

the trouble of writing Home.

In the "Overland China Mail" this week, readers will fimi a "story" about a man confessing to putting water in

milk.

His doing so would not cause a furore in other parts of the world.

Not unless people knew how valuable water

is in Hong Kong at the moment.

Both from the lighter side, and with full details of the gravity of the serious problem facing the community, the water shortage has been written up for the "Overland"

If you,

in the strain of the last few days, have forgotten to write Home and you attribute your lapse to not being able to get a bath, support your clain by sending a copy of the "Overland”- so that your friends will know all about the water famine here.

*

·· Naturally, “water" occupies the most important place in the current number of the "Overland," But it should be borne in mind that there is abundant other reading matter as well, so much so that the Post Office has had kindly to draw our attention to its growing bulk and weight.

The "Overland" is the only illustrated weekly budget of news published in Hong Kong. It gives you all the "local" and "China" (ie., political and war) news of the week. Reports of the K.O.S.B. General Court Martial, for instance, will make welcome reading at Home. Be sure to get your copy in time and then put sufficient postage on-four cents for copy
