Western Front

Germans bomb Reims Cathedral.

Eastern Front

Heavy fighting continues between Russia and Austria-Hungary in the Uzsok Pass; several feet of snow hinders movement.

Political etc.

Lloyd George: “We are fighting Germany, Austria and drink, and so far as I can see the greatest of these three deadly foes is drink.”
