The Daily Colonist, August 15, 1914

[mbarrick]

#dailycolonist1914 - News out of Victoria 100 years ago today:

• Germany now fighting on two fronts.
• Both Japan and Turkey expected to make formal declarations of war soon (the latter against Britain and the former with Britain).
• "L.O.L. Public Meeting" - in 1914 L.O.L. meant "Loyal Orange Order", the article doesn't even spell out the abbreviation. Orangemen are protestant Irish and were a big deal around here for at the time (and this is why there never used to be any St. Patrick's day parades here until just the past few years...)
• Railway improves economy of Hope.
• Bermuda under martial law, fears German attack.
• All goods orginating in Germany and Austria to be stopped at customs.
