LONG CREDITS
GIVEN TO ITALY
Britain Sets Example of
Doubtful Merit American
Exporters Think

New York, Aug. 6.-Recent dis
patches from London state that the
British Treasury will now permit
three renewals of 90-day bills grant
ed in payment of British merchan-
disc exported to Italy.
British business looks upon this
decision of the Treasury as of the
greatest Importance at the present
tme when American traders are Of
1ering Italian buyers special induce
ments to purchase American goods.
H1therto credits for British pur-
chases could only be obtained from
the Italian National Institute of EX-
change, which is reported to have
been difficult and often impossible.
The American Chamber of Com
merce in London understands that
the demand for these long credits
arises not so much from the actual
needs of the Italian buyers as from
the desire to hold over payment till
such time as the exchange value OF
the lire rises sufficiently to make
1t advantageous to pay at that
moment
Such credits are not looked upon
with much favor by the bulk of
american exporters. The National
Foreign Trade Council understands
that even the most respectable Ital-
ian firms are now asking for these
long credits in the hope of benefit
ing by fluctuations in exchange.
There is an element of danger in
Such procedure which is leading
American concerns to exercise spec
lal care in this extension oF credits.
Many American sellers. Xfact, are
insisting upon prompt %yment in
American funds.

desert. One could feel that the
camels must be lying down just
outside the door and that the tur-
baned orientals were sitting in the
sands, singing the weird, mysterious
songs of the east.
The present monarch of Quivera
is the first whose coronation has
been part of a story instead of mere
ly ceremony. Other monarchs of
the line have taken their crowns in
prosaic manner in Omaha. Their
queens have been selected for them.
Chose Own Princess.
Not so Ak-Sar-Ben XIV. He
chose his own princess and rescued
her from prison in the good, old,
story book way. And the immense
crowd that filled every foot of
space in the royal castle last night
thrilled to the romance of the story.
Ak-Sar- XIV proved to be no
spineless monarch who permitted
his privy councillors to select his
queen. Not he! For, while he was
still a prince in the rich and pros
porous kingdom of Quivera he
found, one day a wreath of flowers
in the river on which was mes
sage telling him of the imprisoned
princess.
Straightway he sent ambassadors
with rich gifts and arranged for the
rescue OF the princess and for her
escort to his rich oriental kingdom.
And when he beheld her he found
that she was seven times lovelier
than he had pictured her. And the

princess discovered that the prince
was seven times more, handsome
than he had appeared in her dreams.
1t was love at first sight.
And SO they were crowned king
and queen of Quivera and lived hap

The happy though royal pair were
crowned amid the rejoicing of
everybody within the royal castle.
Queen Receives Court.
In fact, the king this year re-
ceived no crown, probably in defer
ence to the recent progress in max
ing the world safe for democracy.
Instead, necklace was placed about
his neck. The queen, however, re-
Iceived a handsome coronet upon her
noble head.
The oriental story which took the
place Of the former coronation occu-
pied about an hour. The prologue
was spoken. There were classic
dances BY the fair dat hters OF
Omaha and some from other cities,
there was weird, mystic music which

strains, there was the wondrous
march of the Nubian slaves who
went to bring the princess to the

walked up and bowed before the

And so throughout the evening

lovely ladies and knights to their
homes and the GROWING of the new
king and queen was happy

Never before in the history OF
Ak-Sar-B-n have the costumes been
such a riot of colors. The "a pre-
ceding queens, their maids and at

shades. This year, however, every
thing was changed. From the SOL

mer years, the affair was switched
to scene of eastern splendor, gay
costumes of bright Batik gave at

been seen in Omaha.
Even the ball room floor gave evil

to pinks, green's and other striking
colors. Quite relief, it was, after
the dull shades of war days.

Ak-Sar-Ben Den a Land
Of Perfume and Oriental
Settings Of the Far East
Prologue Precedes Pageant, In Which Prince Dscov-
ers, and Saves From Prison, His Queen-Dancing
Girls and Maids Make Scene Gorgeous Affair.

Within the huge tent of the Ruler
of Quivera, all was beauty. gran
deur, splendor. The den of former
days had been mysteriously trans
planted to the sands of the Orient
and became the desert domain OF
King Ak-Sar-Ben. The interior was
hung with costly and magnificent
draperies in shades of yellow, or
ange and flame. The perfume of
exotic flowers was heavy in the air
and jeweled lamps gently swaying
shed 4 dull glow over the scene.
Out before dull gold curtain
came Prologue, Charles Gardner,
dressed in the garments of the
Orient. He spoke in verse and told
the story of how in the olden days.
King Ak-Sar- Ben chose his, queen.
In far-off land, beautiful
princess was imprisoned in a secret
garden near a river. Here she
spent the hours i'll weaving wreaths
of flowers which her maidens threw
into the stream hoping that some
prince might find them and rescue
her.
The Prince Ak-Sar-Ben in the
realm of Quivera discovered one of
the wreaths and sent an ambassador
with many gifts to seek the maiden
and bring her to his land in order
that she might become his queen.
Thereupon the Prince, surrounded
by the Governors of his provinces,
was invested with the chain of
Cibolaj and the star of Quivera as
the king of the mighty lands.
Dancing and revelry followed the
coronation of the king and then the
approach of the princess was an
nounced. She was preceded by her
maidens and pages. Upon her ar
arrival she was greeted by the king
and was crowned Queen of Quivera.
The Pageant.
With the opening Of the curtain
after the prologue by two great
Nubian slaves, the garden scene
was presented. The princess sur
rounded by her many maidens was
weaving the wreaths of flowers
which her attendant, Mrs. Charles
r. Docherty, threw over the garden
wall into the stream below. During
the entire scene, Mrs. Harry Steele
sang a Hindu love song. All the
colors were in the lighter shades
and the brilliant blue Of the sky
was a decided contrast to them.
lust at the closing of the scene, the
ambassador of the Prince arrived
bearing gifts to the Princess and
summoning her to the land OF Qui-
