had dared Japan far enough. tonight
disclaimed desires to wage lone war
upon Nippon.
| Amid indications of concern for both
japanese and worldwide reaction, the
Canton leaders were issuing statements
denying they wanted to fight Japan
independently or that they intended to
force a crisis with the Central (Nan-
king government.
They explained their decision to
send Kwangtung and Kwangsi pro-
vincial armies northward as an anti
japanese expedition, called the Ma
tional Salvation Forces" amounted
merely to a patriotic offer of southern
services against japanese aggression
and request for permission to REIN
force Markings troops in the north.
CThe southern troops, estimated as
high as 100000, have been reported
occupying towns in Human Province
and heading northward)
To some Hongkong observers, how
ever, the southern explanations were
not entirely convincing. These per-
sons contended there was reason to
suspect official connivance at leakage
Of news concerning sensational troop
movements which might have been
calculated to alarm Nanking, but
which later could be repudiated.

Perskin Again Wins Com

BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.
President Roosevelt has commits
stoned the same artist who painted
the official picture used in his cam
paign against Herbert Hoover to paint
one for the forthcoming political
drive.
The artist is ]. H. Perskin, small,
slightly built, Sharp-eyed man with
thick, bushy, gray hair.
OF the countless photographs and
paintings ever made of the President,
the 1882 campaign picture drawn by
PerSkin is the Presidents favorite.
Mrs. Roosevelt feels the same way,
as does virtually every one in the
Presidents official family. Therefore,
the President has every reason to
feel that Perskin will produce some
thing equally as good. if not better,
for the coming campaign.
Perskin became the creator of the
picture through accident. Not what
might be described as a we'll known
artist, he had been working along
for many years with only a fair
amount of prominence in his home
town, Atlantic City, N. J.
Calls at Albany.
Back in 1882, when President
Roosevelt, with his lieutenantS, was
at the Governors mansion in Albany
struggling with campaign details. he
was almost Stumped when it came to
reaching a decision about an official
campaign likeness. He and his
lieutenants, peculiarly enough, were
pondering over this very problem
when Artist Perskin appeared. Un-
announced and without letters OF
recommendation, he had come tc
Albany with the avowed purpose Of
making a picture of Mr.. Roosevelt
for use IN the campaign. His per-
sistency brought results.
1t was Gov Roosevelt himself
who, hearing of him, sent out wore
for him to come in. The little mar
without any waste of words by way
of introduction. opened up a port.

had several etchings of Mr. Roosevelt
done from various photographs anc
from his own personal observations
of the subject.
Is Sent to Howe.
He was sent at once to New York
City to show his samples to Col
Louis NJ. Howe, the President'es init.
mate friend and chief lieutenant anc
to Charley Nicholson, director Of
publicity for the Democratic Nationa,
Committee. These two hard boiled
campaignerS were as enthusiastic
over Perskin's samples as was the
President.
Realizing he could not use that
same happy likeness in the forth
coming campaign, principally because
being President has put more lines
in his face and more gray in his
hair, Mr.. Roosevelt about a week age
sent for Perskin to make the official
1886 picture.
The artist did not require a long
tedious sitting, but within 20 minutes
made sufficient sketches and notes
to serve as the basis for the finished
portraits which will be ready within
a few weeks for the publicity depart
ment of the National Committee to
grind out by the millions.
