#dailycolonist1914 - News out of Victoria, British Columbia, 100 years ago today.

• Aeroplane over Antwerp, "escaped in the direction of Wilryck" [The mention of Wilrijk makes this close to home for me: I stayed with my great-uncle and great-aunt in Wilrijk on a trip to Belgium when I was young.]
• Government of Britain decides to cancel pension to cousin of Queen Victoria living in Germany.
• Mention that "German's Trenches Are Formidable" [The war has not turned completely turned into a trench war yet, but it is beginning.]
• Notices for Germans and Austrio-Hungarians to register are multiplying.
• Ads that caught my eye.
