Fall of Przemysl Shatters Russian Siege Report
Dispatches from Petrograd say Przemysl garrison of about 170000 with 40000 dead and 120000 surrendering capitulated after a blizzard disrupted telegraphs.

Turko-German actions south and at Suez are noted with a British counterattack under Younghusband repelling a 1000-strong force.
