TO-DAY'S ISSUE OF THE HONG KONG

WEEKLY PRESS RECORDS THE DECISION OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL TO CONNECT THE ISLAND. WITH THE.. SHING MUN WATER SYSTEM BY MEANS OF A PIPE, LAID ON THE HARBOUR BED THE KOW- LOON WATER SUPPLY IS ALSO TO BE INCREASED BY A NEW BYWASH --RESERVOIR. ·

The opening stages of the Esin' Wah inquest have revealed several flat contradictions in the evidence relating to the despatch of the news of the wreck from Waglan Lighthouse. The report also gives the thrilling story of the surviving Chief Officer.

Our Canton correspondent is able to announce

that the Kwangtung troops have severely defeated the Red rabble on the Northern border. The Chinese authorities are now" taking drastic steps to deal with the Brigand- Communist menace once and for all.

"Canton's troubles still continue and the lights fail

regularly every night. The City, in despera tion is going back to oil lamps.

Cables from the north report the recent hitch in the Sino-Japanese negotiations, and the reaction to the recent "Firm" speech of Baron Tanaka.

This is the busy season in Hong Kong and, the WEEKLY PRESS describes a large number of social and sporting functions that will be of interest to old residents who like to " know how things are going on the scene of their past activities.
