The Daily Colonist, August 8, 1914

#dailycolonist1914 - News from Victoria 100 years ago today:

• Mostly flag waving and propaganda today, very little news of substance
• Maharajah of Nepal offers his army to British service, "The majority of his troops are of the Gurkha tribe, the most famous soldiers in India."
• The recasting of Germans as "others" continues with news on atrocities and reported insults from the Kaiser.
