British and Turkish fronts show heavy fighting in Mesopotamia and Sinai
The AP reports Turks suffer hard usage at British hands in Mesopotamia near Kut el Amara on the Tigris with trenches captured and heavy casualties. In Sinai, six Turkish trench lines near El Arish are taken by King George’s forces. Russian and German war fronts show conflicting reports around Riga and Moldavia. In France the British penetrate German trenches and seize prisoners, while naval losses include the Cornwallis and Ben-My-Chree to submarine attacks. A British loan plan is announced by Andrew Bonar Law. In New York, a breach of promise trial involves Oliver Osborne and Rae Tanzer, with Wax testifying for the government. Bargains at Hennessy’s pre-inventory sale are advertised.
