A TECHNICAL WAR DECLARED
There is sufficient comment upon the "peace" that has raged
between Italy and Germany in the fact that a declaration of war
makes little difference to soldiers in the field.
Since German officers command Bulgarian troops and German
soldiers are fighting by their side, the landing of Italians at Saloni
ca compelled a declaration. But German experts had long advised,
if not directed, the Austrian campaign against Italy. They have
been consulted in the further defense of Trieste. In any case,
Italy could not engage many divisions of Germany's ally without
indirectly fighting Germany. She is now free to send troops into
France to emphasize the harmony of the allies.
The absurd situation has lasted so long chiefly because of the
presence in Italy of a powerful party representing the Berlin
court and vast investments of German capital. Yet the sham
could not have been kept up t?ut for the fact that the very Italians
who hated Austria with a bitter hatred had no quarrel with Ger
many herself.
The declaration of war will gravely affect German business
interests in Italy and cause the seizure of harbor-hugging ships.
It will heighten the hardships of Italians still in Germany. It can
not lessen the bitterness of the conflict in arms, but it has a very
important bearing upon the terms of peace when the war is over.
