mean the existence of a state of war
between Germany and Italy. Ger
many is directing the operations
against the allies on this front and as
the official German reports show, has
forces there. Some Austrian troops
also probably are employed and pos
sibly Turks, but the major portion of
the army is made up of Bulgarians.
Recent reports nave indicated the
withdrawal of Austrian troops from
the Balkans for use on the Russian
and Italian fronts.
AS the entente allies are believed
to have a force of some 700, 900 Brit
ish, French and Serbian troops on
the Saloniki front, the sending of re-
Inducements at this time, just after
the opening of hostilities on q large
scale, would indicate that the allies
have embarked on a campaign of eX-
tensive proportions.
Italy, which has a considerable sur
plus of troops, has been urged to take
a more active part in the Balkan OPP
erations, but was believed to have re-
Trained partly on account of the fact
that she was not at war with Ger
many. There have been several re-
cent indications, however, that a dec
laration of hostilities was forthcoming.
A commercial treaty between these ma
lions was abrogated, a German court
ruled that Germany is actually, though
not formally, at war with Italy, and
last week it was reported that the de-
Tense of Triest would be taken oVer by
Germans. Italian participation in the
Balkan operations hitherto has been
limited to occupation of the Albanian
port of Avlona, which was effected be-
fore Italy declared war on Austria.

 pledged only when having given a written affirmative answer to his bid,
 or signs a pledge card, and he wears the pledge insignia of his fraternity publicly, No verbal promises shall be valid.
 1.-The wearing of the pledge in signia publicly binds the. wearer to join the fraternity whose insignia he wears. and by this he shall never be eligible to membership in any other fraternity at IuG SOIlASSIlCuC cultural College, unless released by that fraternity to which he is pledged.
