#dailycolonist1914 - News out of Victoria, British Columbia, 100 years ago today:

  • Fighting in nearby Waterloo forces Belgian government to abandon Brussels and move to Antwerp [where my maternal grandparents are living at the time, children of 10 and 14].
  • German victory in Liège is complete.
  • Editorial on how the war has overshadowed the amazing accomplishment of the Panama Canal.
