At Jugla, the Russian 12th Army has finished its retreat, with cover provided by a now heavily-depleted forces of the Latvian Rifles. Although outnumbering the Germans nearly 4:1, the Russians lost 25,000 soldiers to the Germans’ 5,000.

Sailors from the beached SMS Seeadler, the last vestiges of Germany’s Pacific Fleet, captured the French schooner Lutece. The German captain and a few forces, sailing for Fiji, have been captured, leaving these sailors alone to continue the war. The captured French ship was seen sailing towards Easter Island.

The Romanian defense at Marasesti has ended successfully, as mounting losses for the Central Powers have led the German commanders to call off the offensive. 65,000 Germans and similar numbers of Austro-Hungarians have become casualties, compared to 53,000 losses for the Russo-Romanian armies, shared relatively evenly between both nations.

The world’s socialists are holding yet another large, anti-war conference, this one in Stockholm.
