Armistice Talks Under Way as Russian Front Stalemate Persists
Berlin reports armistice talks begin at Prince Leopold of Bavaria's headquarters to replace the truce on the Russian front amid ongoing fighting. London notes three German attacks, two repulsed, one breach near Bullecourt, while Paris cites moderate artillery activity along the front. Rome says Italian defenses repelled renewed enemy assaults east of the Grenta with heavy losses to the attacker. Haig’s forces repel massed German attacks near Bullecourt, securing a costly British defense, and Allied shipping shows mixed losses with 21 ships sunk but fewer large vessels crippled. Weather and snow across the Alps affect operations on the Italian front as Austrian German efforts pause temporarily. Brewers pledge support to the war effort in Milwaukee.
