Today -100: December 18, 1916: Of peace talks, scabs, and police stations


The Frankfurter Zeitung says that the Central Powers’ proposal is simply for a conference at which all sides state their peace proposals. This is something everyone’s been notably unwilling to do.

A Boston police station is dynamited, possibly in retaliation for police actions against labor meetings.
