Italian troops are to take part in

Saloniki advices today, which re-
port the Decentralization Of Italian
soldiers at that port now in prog
ress. German troops are now en-
ployed on the Macedonian front,
and actual war between Germany
and Italy. Of which there so far has
been no formal declaration. now
seems probable.
The Macedonian campaign itself
does not yet seem to have de-
veloped any engagements Of first
rate, but there Is pronounced ac-
tivity along the $50 mile fighting
front with successes claimed by
each side at various points.
Paris, Aug. 21.-Itallan troops began
to disembark at Saloniki yesterday.
says a Havas dispatch from that point.
On leaving their ships the Italians
passed thru Saloniki to camp, preceded
by military bands OF the allies and
cheered by the populace.
Active preparation by italian troops
in the Saloniki campaign would mean
the existence Of a state Of war between
Germany and Italy. Germany IL di-
recting the campaign against the allies
on this front and the official state-
ments show Germany has forces there.
Some Austrian troops also probably
are employed and possibly Turks. but
the major portion Of the army is made
up OF Bulgarians. Recent reports have
Indicated the. withdrawal OF Austrian
troops from tie Balkans.
Extensive Campaign Indicated.
AS the entene allies are believed to
have force of some 100000 British,
French and Serbian troops on this
front the sending Of additional troops
at this time, just after the opening OF
hostilities on big scale, would indi-
cate that the allies have embarked on
an extensive campaign.
Italy. which has u considerable sur
plus of troops. was urged to take an
active part in the Balkan campaign.
There have been several recent indica-
tions that n declaration Of hostilities
with Germany was forthcoming. A
commercial treaty was abrogated. a
German court ruled that Germany Is
actually tho not formally at war with
Italy, and last week 1t was reported
that the defense of Trieste would be-
taken over by Germany.
