British Fleet Loss and War Dispatches Echo of Peace Proposals
British report a large loss of a British ship after advancing northeast of Kut el Amara on the Tigris and capturing Turkish trenches. A German note to neutrals asserts Entente rejection of December peace proposals and accuses Allies of responsibility for the war while detailing military actions across Mesopotamia, Moldavia, and the Baltic theater. The Entente replies to Wilson and Belgium urging a peace based on reparations but warns no durable settlement is possible without a just resolution of the current conflict.
