Russia and Japan Intimidate China.

Mukden, April 16.-Unless the
other great powers awaken to the
facts and aid China in her resistance

governments at Toxic and St. Pet

being directly undermined in various
ways. There are many indications
of tacit agreement between Japan
and Russia to support each others
demands on the Pekin Government.
SO that Russia shall become intrench-

THE BILLIKEN CRAZE RUNS
 RIOT IN OLD MONTGOMERY

| All the world now bows down at the feet of the new god of goodluck--''Es l. liken," the god of the smile expansive, the smile contagious, the smile that hegins at. the commencement of things and never ends at all. Billie Is a jealous god, demanding whole hearted homage from his devo- Eanpihilating the dignity-god. and smashing to powder every devil of gronch. melancholy and solemnity.
 Billiken is little alabaster or plain mud idol, created out of pure happiness by Miss Florence Pretz, a young Chi- cago artist. whose smile is as ripplingly resistiess as that of her little god-child. Rillie is the god of good nature. good luck and everything else that's good and happy and worthl while.
 Chicago has gone wild over him. and the little Craftsmen's god factory at Highland Park, H., got so badly swamped with orders for Billie" that Rilliken Company has been formed to make "Billies" In plaster, metal, paper. gold, silver and what not; to make Bil- iken jewelry, Billiken postcards, Bllli- and in short, to Buster Buster Brown with smiling Billies. Billikn will probably give Teddy Bear a run for his money-at least. among adults, anyhow.
 Here are some maxInis from Billie's Koran:
 If your face wants to smile,S let it! 1T 1t doesn't. make 1t!
 When mans down. lend him a help ing smile.
 A cigar costs money. Why not give a man a smile instead.
 Don't smile up your sleeve-use your face.
 My kinda six-inch smile on a four inch face.
 When you smile. smile all over.
 Blessed is the man who has found his smile.
 And some verses from his Book of Psalms:
 am -Things-as-Th They ought-tO-
 Be,
 am Lord -of f-the-Smiling Face.
 I'm the pride of the town
 For I've banished the frown.
 And made the "grouch" disgrace.
