The British admiralty confirms eight British and two French merchantmen sunk, plus two captured and at sea in pursuit. The raid, possibly two vessels, operates for weeks roving Atlantic routes, with claims of the world’s largest freight carrier involvement and confusion over exact ship names and locations.

Russians Recapture Town Against German Attacks
A Russian offensive in Roumania recaptured the town of Vadeni southwest of Galatz on the Danube, the Petrograd report says, as von Mackensen’s drive to regain Vadeni was broken. Berlin notes Turkish posts pulled back between Brata and Galatz to the main line amid superior forces, with Russo Romanian success at one point along the Oldavian frontier claimed by Petrograd. In the Somme, German attacks east of Clery and south of Taiches were repulsed by French forces. minor assaults at Les Barges southeast of Verdun also failed. An Italian mission arrives in Athens to help oversee entente control in Greece, with a mixed commission to manage Greek troops and munitions transfers to the Peloponnesus. Sixty-six Entente aircraft were shot down in December, twenty-two by central powers forces, per German figures. The Entente aims to renew a unified effort with Allied and Greek officers following a conference between President Wilson and allied leaders.
