Soissons Battle Ends In Heavy Casualties On River Front
The report details eight days of brutal fighting near Soissons over the Aisne front. German forces under General von Kluck celebrated a victory with a simple meal and toasts as graves piled up on the heights and across the river. French troops, Turco colonial troops, Alpine riflemen, and territorials fought fiercely, with German artillery dominating the hill country. The French held a foothold north of the river at Paul and faced a heavy bombardment that enabled a final push across the valley. The clash is likened to Bull Run or Antietam for its scale, though the German success was the decisive note of the brief battlefield coverage.

Government approves war risk coverage for Dacia cargo
Washington reports after talks between Director DeLaney of the federal war risk bureau and Secretary McAdoo that a war risk insurance policy will likely cover the cotton cargo aboard the steamship Dacia. The ship is to sail from Texas to German ports despite Britain’s warning it will be treated as a prize. Rate expected at four percent. Officials note the transfer to Edward W. Breitung appears bona fide and say policy will be written once documentary proof is ready. The state department reportedly did not advise the voyage. Also cited is the Greenbrier case, the American cotton laden ship detained by a British cruiser, raising questions over the US flag and protest.
