#dailycolonist1914 - The news out of Victoria, British Columbia, 100 years ago today.

Absolutely nothing about the unofficial cease-fires that were strongly implied to have been already arranged in stories reported on the 24th, including the Prince of Wales travelling home to England and the Kaiser touring the front lines. Other than two aerial battles, all other news of battles have datelines of December 26.

• Many, many advertisers wishing people Merry Christmas, and
