Event Taken to Mean Active
State Of War Between Italy
and German Empire.
BIG CAMPAIGN PROJECTED

Paris, Aug. 2l.-Italian troops be-
gan to disembark at Saloniki ysster-
day, says the Havas dispatch from
that point, On leaving their ships,
the dispatch says, the Italians passed
through Saloniki to camp. preceded
by military bands Of the allies and

against the allies on the front and the
official German reports show It has

also probably are employed and possi-
bly, Turks, but the major portion Of

ish, French and Serbian troops on the
Saloniki front, the sending of rein-'
forcements at this time, just after
the opening Of hostilities on a large
scale would indicate that the allies
have embarked on a campaign of ex-
tensivc proportions.
Italy, which has a considerable
surplus Of troops, has been urged to
take more active part in the
Balkan operations, but was believed
to have refrained partly on account
of the fact that it was not at war
with Germany. There have been sew
eral recent indications, however, that
declaration of hostilities was forth
coming. A commercial treaty between
these nations was abrogated, a Ger
man court ruled that Germany is
actually, though not formally at war
with Italy and last week it was re-
ported the defense of Trieste would
be taken over by Germans. italian
participation in the Balkan opera
tions hitherto has been limited to
occupation OF the Albanian port Of
Avalona, which was effected before
Italy declared war on Austria.

SENATE TAKES UP
IMMIGRATION BILL
Nine Democrats Vote With Re-
publicans on Motion to Over
ride Majority Caucus.
EARLY PASSAGE PROBABLE

Washington. Aug. 2l.-By 27 to "a,
the senate today voted to take UP the
immigration bill, which the demo-
cratic caucus had determined to post
pone until next session. Nine demo-
Gratis voted with the republicans for
the motion.
When debate on the provisions re-
lating to Asiatics was begun, CALLER
les were cleared and consideration OF
those features proceeded in secret.
Passage Of the bill seemed assured
by today's action, and it was predicted
the bill would be brief. President
Wilson vetoed the bill last year be-
cause Of the literacy test. ...-
Believe President Would Sign.
Some democratic senator's believe
the president will not veto the bill
again, although it retains the literacy
test, to which he then objected. Those
who think the president might sign
the bill, point to his veto in which he
wrote: 4 - -ea
II have no pride Of opinion in this
question. Lam not foolish enough
to profess to know the wishes and
ideals OF America better than the
body of its chosen representatives
know them. only want instruction
direct from those whose fortunes
with ours and all mems are involved"
Senators in favor of immediate ac-
ton on the bill agreed that in these
words the president left an opening
for reversal of his former action, and
they will endeavor to convince him
that the people Of the country now
do want the literacy test as q bar
against the food OF immigration
which will follow the war.
The motion to take up the bill was
made by Senator Smith of South
Carolina, chairman Of the immigra-
ton committee. The committee has
amended the house bill in an effort to
meet objections Of Japan to. the sec
tions relating to Asiatic exclusion.
