|bULGAR|A T0TTERS
 UNDER DEBT BURDEN
Countrymen Do Not Know How Money Will Be Secured

Sofia, Feb. 6.-Bulgaria is tottering under burden of debt and indemni- ties which it's financiers say will take several generations to liquidate. Under the peace treaty the smallest of the belligerent nations is required to pay the Allies 2,225, ,000,000 francs gold
 $450. .0oo,o0o)
 Converted into Bulgarian francs Oevas) at the current rate of ex- change, this amount to the staggering total of s67,000, ,000, ,000 levas. If to this sum is added the country's ex- ternal and internal debt of 40.000,- 900, ,oO0 levas, total of 107,00o, o,000,- 900 levas is reached (Nominally a Bulgarian leva would be worth about f9 cents).
 Nobody knows, even the Bulgars themselves, how this colossal sum can be paid without wrecking the country and exhausting its resources.
 Under the Neuilly agreement the Bugarians were to pay their first in- stalment of the S450,000,000 indem- nifty in 1919. but up to the present they have lapsed in three instalments Bulgarian government officials say they can make the state solvent and pay all it's obligations if the powers will waive the indemnity payments for reasonable period of time. They in- sist they can make little progress SC long as the separations commission holds the indemnity demand over their heads like Damocles' sword. The country's total outstanding paper money amounts to 3,25o, ,o0t levals only one-third of which is GOV cred by gold reserve.
 An encouraging feature in Bull garia's otherwise apparently hopeless financial and eonocmic situation is the steady increase in her exports, which for 1921 were in the proportion of 8 to 2ls to her imports.
 With the object of stimulating eX- ports and imports the government is planning the establishment of an in- ternational bank. composed in part of foreign capital, with branches or rep resentatives throughout the world. An effort will be made to interest Ameri- can bankers in the institution.

INTERNATIONAL DISLIKED
Once Famous Song is Now Becoming Unpopular in Russia-Pcoplc Walk Out on Singers.

Moscow, Feb. 6.-The ''internation- ale" is fast becoming a lost song in Russia Nobody wants to sing it. It it never heard in the streets of Mos- COW, or in the towns of the provinces. When it Is played by order in public gatherings, the crowds and audiences refuse to join in the singing. This was illustrated at the Grand Opera, recently, when Leon Trotzky, the War Minister, appeared with some friends in a box. The orchestra struck up the tune of the revolution and but very few in the audience rose, out of respect.
 Lately Isadore Duncan, after pub lie performance of her dances. asked the audience to join her in singing the "Internationale." This seemed sig nal for the audience to leave. Every body began going out, as the orchestra played and Miss Duncan was left to sing alone. .n.
 One of the reasons for the lack of enthusiasm for the song is that it has been sung too much. People are tired of it, here, just as British sol- diers get tired of "Tipperary.'
