dium-girl to replac their long loved
and popular fan-dance
Chianna. opens at the Stevenson
Theatre, today, for two days. as a spe-
cial feature with the Campus Co-eds

the famed orchid, for performing the
seemingly impossible feat, that of
making Chicago forget all about their
Fan-dancers, who reigned supreme
last summer, at the Fair.
Chianna, has been engaged as the
dancing feature, when the exposition
opens next spring, and the patrons of
the Stevenson. will have chance to
see in person. this sensational girl in
her daring dance. before she opens
this engagement.
Chianna's dance is as daring and
as sensational as the fan-dance, still
it is lust as artistic and as beautiful
as the fan-dance was vulgar.
The management of the Stevenson
sincerely suggests that you do not
miss seeing Chianna. the girl who
made Chicago forget the fan dance
Chianna, will appear at each perfor-
nance. with the Campus Co-eds stage
show, at the Stevenson, starting today
for two days. Don't miss this real san

GERMANY HOPEFUL
OF ECONOMIC HELP
Seeks to Tighten Economic
Burdens in Order to Avoid
Moratorium .

Berlin, June .-R-Q ermany
hopes her economic burdens will be
lightened by world economists and
financiers next week so she will not
have to invoke a partial moratorium
on credits July /.
Well-qualified observers Friday said
the suspension of foreign currency
payments on 80 percent Of the reich's
foreign Indebtedness, as decreed
Thursday night, means Germany is
sparring for time in hope that con-
cessions will be granted at the world
economic conference.
Hopes also are entertained for help
from participants in the standstill
agreement who will meet in London
next Tuesday, day after the eco
nomic conference will start.
The moratorium will be on credits
granted before July, 1881, and in
wolves interest and amortization
charges on about 1890 900 900 marks,
currently about $4,824, 000, 900. which
Germany admitted she could not pay.
Debts owed the United States treasury
are included, but existing standstill
agreements with private creditors
abroad are not affected.
DR.. Hjalmar Schacht, president Of
the Reichsbank who announced the
holiday, explained that q general
moratorium is not feasible inasmuch
as Germany must preserve her credit
and save sufficient money to pay for
imported raw materials necessary for
manufactured products.
