• 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.

• 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"
