 FOR KIDDIES IS
 CELEBRATED HERE

The Ell1s annual christmas enter tainment for children on Gastineau Channel was given at the Palace Theatre last night and more than 500 youngsters were there to shake hands with old Santa Claus and see the things that came out of his bag
 All children under twelve years of age were guests of the Elks and were admitted free to the Theatre Ken Maynard in The Canyon Of Adventure" was shown as the fea- ture picture, and Santa Claus ap- pearsd immediately after the first show
 That boy who was mean to his dog had better watch out" Santa said, as he read a long list of names And that little boy who went to the school show with dirty hands-I watch all these things, you know"
 santa had plenty of things for everybody. The stockings for the girls contained flower plant, dolls, and candy, and those for the boys contained marbles, whistles and mo- tion picture books. Santa Claus as- sistants were waiting outside the theatre and no child was allowed to pass until he had an Oranpe and an ice cream cake.
 This giving of presents to chil- dren on Christmas has been an an- nual event for many years, and it is looked forward to in every city where there is an Elks Lodge The Elks, in fact, have acted the role of "big brothers to the children of America.

SCHACHT STUDIES
CREDIT PROBLEMS
German Debt Expert Goes to
Essen to Discuss Reichs-
bank Restriction Order.
e. the Associated Press.

~ tne Associated PresS.
ESSEN, Germany, May 11.-Dr. HAL
mar Schacht, chief German delegate to
the reparations conference at Paris, and
his colleague, DR.. Voegler, arrived here
unexpectedly today from Paris for a
consultation with Karl Rambeau. man.
ager of the local branch of the Reichs-
bank.
They reached Essen at noon, after
travelling overnight from the French
capital, and Immediately called Herr
Rambeau into conference with them at
their hotel.
Credit Restrictions Studied.
The purpose Of the visit, according
to the Rhenish westphalian Gazette,
principal industrial organ of Western
Germany, is to discuss with local in
terests how to apply the Reichsbank's
credit restrictions, which DR.. Schacht
inaugurated recently, without hurting
Germany's industrial nerve center, Es-
sen Is at the heart of this nerve system.
The Gazette explains that in this
emergency it was felt that DR.. Schacht S
personal touch would be indispensable
The main point was to make sure OF
avoidance OF any stoppage of work as
result of the credit restrictions, since
any labor trouble would be highly unde-
sirable at the present moment.
Branches Meet Difficulties.
It appears that some of the local
branches of the ReichSbank have been
having difficulties in screwing down In
dustrial credits to the level ordered by
the main bank at Berlin, although they
say they exercised every care to elimi-
nate all credits that were obviously des-
tined to finance the boarding OF foreign
exchanges or speculation on the Bourse.
DR.. Schachts presence here doubt
less will serve to bring home to the
local induStrialists the necessity OF APP
plying measures dictated by the needs
of the hour. while DR.. Voegler. who Is
on the directories of most Of the iron
and steel enterprises here, will add his
personal influence in handling the
local situation.

It is clear that some OF the above

German conditions to the acceptance
of the American annuity figures. These
conditions are understood to pertain to
a division of the conditional and uncon-

A relative revision Of the top part
