War Update: Sub sinks Royal Edward and fronts shift
The Royal Edward carrying troops to the Dardanelles was sunk by a submarine in the Aegean with about 1,000 lives lost. Across the eastern front German forces push Russians toward retreat while fighting remains fierce near Riga and in the Baltic region as other fronts see limited action and new naval developments unfold.

Carranza pledges safe conduct for Pan American mediation messengers to Mexico.
