mbarrick#dailycolonist1914 - News out of Victoria, British Columbia, 100 years ago today.
- King George V visits the front, walks in trenches with front-line soldiers.
- Italy has announced that they are definitely, for-sure, not doing anything until they decide otherwise, if they feel like it.
- Men in funny hats have called for January 3rd to be a national day of asking for humbly asking their Imaginary Friend to help us and not the other guy. King takes issue with antiquated use of the word "humiliation".
- Dutch soldiers shoot Belgian refugees, killing six and wounding nine, when Belgians riot over concentration camp conditions.\240
- 42 "undesirables" returned to Canada from camp on Salisbury Plain. "Undesirables" include the physically unfit and unnaturaised immigrants.\240
- Ad for CCM "Automobile Skates" [N.B. CCM, "Canada Cycle and Motor", started out making bicycles, branched out into cars with their Russel Motor Car Co., ads for which I have featured earlier, and the they started making skates out of scrap metal left over from the cars, which led to other hockey equipement.]
- Ad for "Important Sale of Ladies' Ostrich Feather Boas and Ruffles"
