The capture of Bucharest by German forces led by Mackensen and Falkenhayn signals a major strategic victory for the central powers.

The national conference of marketing and farm credits, meeting in Chicago, focuses on livestock industry woes and the growing gap between producers and packers. With meat and animal product prices rising, attendees urge stimulus to stockraising to prevent a worsening crisis.
A senator's plan to cap campaign spending at 400 400 is seen as principled yet too low for modern presidential campaigns, with a broader call for reform to curb fraud.

A vintage beauty note describes mercorized wax as a cheap facial peel to remove dirt and rough skin.
