Greeks in Accord to Aid Allies
The Greek council and King Constantine agreed on military cooperation with the Entente. Greek battleship Hydra joined the allied fleet with unconfirmed reports that Spetsai Psara and four destroyers also joined under Vice Admiral Du Fournet in the Mediterranean. British reports say German trenches north of Flers and a redoubt near Thiepval were captured, and French troops repulsed a strong German counterattack near Bouchavesnes. An air fight over Riga saw a Russian seaplane shot down by a German plane. Italian troops advanced west of Monte Cimone in the Trento region as Austrian shelling continued in the St. Avisco valley and Carso. Romanian and Russian forces were reported to have a great victory in Dobrudja with thousands of prisoners and heavy Russian mortars, while German planes bombed Bucharest. The Allied wedge across the German line widened with British and French gains near Thiepval, Ran court, and St Pierre Vaast wood.
