A fragment discusses Brer Ra'dilies and the rabbit trade in Australia. It notes millions spent, ongoing devastation, and a shift in rabbit farming due to Price Regulating Board rates. Rabbits grow scarcer as cities report reduced supply, affecting meat prices and broader economic ties.
An English observer arriving from Petrograd describes the revolution from late January through mid March. He notes police purges of the old party, gun training, street clashes, food shortages driving unrest, price spikes, and state captures of arsenals and the Winter Palace, as crowds surge, riots burn buildings, and soldiers sway to the rebels.
A London Daily Mail correspondent outlines the German retreat in France as a backhanded, hard fought struggle. He notes German planning, Allied counterstrokes under Joffre, and the shifted balance of momentum with Kluck’s offensive checked by Allied reserves and French railways, signaling a high stakes campaign with large forces and heavy artillery.
The Pitcairn Islanders descendants of the Bounty crew built a forty seven foot schooner named Messenger from tree trunks and handmade planks after a century of work. They fashioned a keel from a marked tree, used a canvas sail donated by a French barque, and a wheel from a British tramp, with fifty islanders laboring daily for thirteen months. The Messenger sailed to Papeete after a hazardous voyage and regained contact with the outside world for the first time in generations.
