August 8

Austrian authorities arrest a suspected Russian spy in the town of Neumarkt (renamed Targ in 1919), in Galicia. His name is Vladimir Lenin. Austrian Social Democrat leader Victor Adler tells the government that if released Lenin would likely mount a propaganda campaign against the Tsar. The Austrian authorities let Lenin go and he moves to Switzerland.

SMS Karlsruhe steams into San Juan, Puerto Rico with only 12 tons of coal in her bunkers. It being a Sunday Captain Köhler has trouble buying coal. Matters are complicated further by British and French consuls claiming Köhler is violating neutrality by trying to purchase 1300 tons of coal. In the end Karlsruhe ends up with only 500 tons of poor-grade coal. The old German collier Patagonia is in port, and Köhler instructs her captain to proceed to St. Thomas and buy a load of coal there. At 2000 hours Karlsruhe gets under way.
