ONION, October 20.-ltaly for.
IL mally declared war upon Bul.
garia yesterday, following up the
declaration by the despatch of a naval
squadron, under sealed orders, for Near
East waters. 1t is supposed that this
squadron will assist in covering the
landing operations Of the Allies on
Turkish soil in the Gulf of Enos and
will take pa in the blockade estab-
lihhed off the Bulgarian coast on the
Aegean.
Shortly after the Italian declaration
came one from Petrograd. In announc.
ing a state of war between Russia and
Bulgaria, the Russian minister of state
said that it was with a bleeding
heart" that Russia felt compelled to
declare war upon the state that had
"bctrayed the cause of the Slavs" and
had placed herself in a position which
compelled Russia to draw the sword
against her.
italian Troops For Serbia
That Italy will join France and Great
Britain in sending troops into Ser
bia to operate against the Bulgarians is
now regarded as practically certain, al
though this brings up for discussion the
situation that obtains between Italy
and Gerniany" wbile' italy IS formally
at war with the allies of Germany,
Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria, there
has been no declaration of war upon
Germany, Al, !rpone from Berlin upon
Italy. ~ participating in Serbia, Ital-
ian troops are certain to be brought
into conflict with the Germans.
The active participation of Italian
troops in the Balkans has been dis
cussed by the British cabinet, an an
nOuncement to that effect being made
in the house of commons yesterday by
l'avid d-George, speaking for Pre-
occupy his seat in the treasury benches.
The premier's illness is reported not
to be SERIOUS and his absence from par
Lament will be for a short time only.
Invaders Make Headway
The Austro Germans and Bulgarians
yesterday made much Roadway in their
attack on Serbia, according to reports
received here. The Bulgarians are
said to have succeeded in their at.
tempt to cut the Nish ,Salonika rail
road, having done so between Uskup
and Nish.
News from enemy sources claims
gains have been made by both the leu
tons and Bulgarians in their invasiOns
Details of the gains and points where
they have been made are not available.
In cutting the NishUskup railroad
the Bulgarians have placed a serious
barrier in the path Of the Allied expedi.
ton from Salonika, it is feared. While
it may not prevent the Allies from eff.
fecting n junction with the retreating
Serbs, it may delay them considerably,
especially if the Bulgarian forces are
large.
Allied Troops Still Landing
The Allies continue to land troops
at Salonika. Greece has been officially
notified that there will be no cessa
ton in the debarkatiOn of land forces
there. This news is received with much
favor here, it being considered that
there is only one interpretation-that
the British intend to send unlimited re,
Inducements to the aid of the Serbs.
At the same time it is thought that
notification to Greece of this intention
in a way amounts to an ultimatum.
