Count Karolyi's 1914 US tour and 1915 peace move
Count Michael Karolyi, a member of the Hungarian lower house, gained attention in the United States during early 1914 visits advocating free rule for Hungary and a home parliament. He left the US amid the Serbian crisis, returned to Europe in July, and in December 1915 pressed for peace proposals in the Hungarian Parliament. He argued Hungary had achieved its war aims, preserved the monarchy, and deserved compensation while seeking national unity and economic independence. He urged proving moral courage after political and military trials.

Mexican troops chase bandits near Chihuahua border
Advices from Santa Rosalia warn outlaws traveling in small groups toward settlements northeast of Chihuahua City. General Trevino orders garrisons at Ojinaga and Piedras Negras to intercept about 200 bandits, noting some may evade due to terrain. Trevino urges vigilance from American frontier authorities as rains ease access to waterholes.
