mbarrick#dailycolonist1914 - News out of Victoria, British Columbia, 100 years ago today.
Not much new to fill out the Sunday edition today.\240
- A more in-depth report of the British attack on the German naval fortress of Heligoland that was first reported yesterday
- A two page map of Europe, presumably filler.
- Some news on troop movements into northwest France
- News that more Canadians will be shipping out, and calls for more volunteers
- More German atrocities tossed in here and there
- Interesting advice for men regarding "Mercenary Girlfriends" in the Sunday pull-out.
- Really interesting casual mention of how the Vikings "discovered America centuries before Columbus" - remembering that this paper is from 1914 and L'Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland was not discovered until 1960.
