Today -100: February 28, 1915: Of guarded potatoes, saving corsets, betraying dogs, wars of starvation, grieved plutocrats, and unabashed nudity
Headline of the Day -100:
Another Headline of the Day -100:
Maybe that guy shouldn’t have been cleaning that gun in a hotel lobby in the first place.
Still Another Headline of the Day -100, Because It Was Just That Sort of Day:
Supposedly, Germans craftily chalked on a ruined house in a Flanders town from which they were withdrawing, “Please feed the dogs.” The incoming French and Belgian soldiers did, the dogs started howling at midnight, and the Germans used the noise to direct their shelling. Since then, the Allied soldiers have killed all the dogs.
Yet Another Headline of the Day -100 (LA Times): “Declaration by the Allies of a War of Starvation.” Britain and France intend to stop all shipping to Germany.
Sad Headline of the Day -100:
By the city of Cleveland, which is actually attempting to collect taxes from him. He says he spends a lot of money in the city, and years ago prevented it being wiped off the map when the Pennsylvania Railroad wanted to move its offices to Pittsburgh, so he shouldn’t have to pay any taxes, I guess.
Chinese people in San Francisco, Fresno, Vancouver, etc. are boycotting Japanese-owned businesses to protest the Japanese government’s demands on China.
