SPIES FILL HOTELS.
More Employed in Europe Than
Before War.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.
AMSTERDAM, December 15.—Conti
nental travelers are firmly of the
opinion that more men and women
bent on secret service are roving
about Europe today than was the case
before the war. The hotels seem
filled with them.
These operatives are not always re
ferred to as spies, nor does military
Information necessarily claim their
attention in spite of the fact that
1,000.000 more men are under arms
In Europe today than ten years ago.
The espionage of the present time re
lates more to questions of economics
and matters of policies and politics.
Many investigators doubtless are
active in the interests of the Soviet
government at Moscow.

premier went on to say, "but the
money Is lacking 1 for development.
Our payments to the allies amount to
157,000,300 leva annually, and we are
meeting them fully and promptly. The
support of the reparational and mil
itary commissions alone costs us 30,-
000,000 leva. To Serbia we are paying;
116,000,000 annually, in addition to her
share of the general reparations.
There is nothing left for improve
ments of any kind, either agricultural,
railway or educational.
"And one of our most distressing
burdens at the present time, as winter
approaches, is the constant flow of
refugees from Macedonia, Thrace and
the Dobrudja. The shortage of food
and of money makes this problem pe
culiarly distressing.
"We are doing our best to prevent
further depreciation of the lev, which
Is now stabilized at 137 to the dollar.
Another drop In exchange, however, Is
not impossible unless we receive the
support of the great powers. In that
lies our hope of salvation.”
