Rome, Aug. 29.-Italy has declared
war on Germany, it was announced Of
ficially here.
Italy and Germany have been drift
ing steadily toward war. In fact,
Italy's formal declaration amounts to
little more than official recognition Of
state of affairs which already ex-
listed. The declaration became newt
able when Italy recently sent troops
to Saloniki to cooperate in the cam
paign Of the entente allies on the
Macedonian 'front.' as Germany is d.
recting the opposing forces and has
troops on this battle line.
ltaly's position in regard to Ger
many has been an anomalous one
since Italy withdrew from the triple
alliance May % of last year and de-
clared war on Austria. Although by
this act she arrayed herself against
her former allies. Germany and Aus
tria, she remained officially at peace
with Germany until now.
Other indications of approaching
war have been observed in recent
weeks. 1t was reported unofficially
that Germany had taken charge of the
defense of Trieste. A more definite
indication was the severance last
