British troops landed with heavy artillery in Turkey in order to prevent the Turks from taking control of the Dardanelles following the Greek defeat. Meanwhile, Anastasios Charalambis became Prime Minister of Greece in the midst of a military revolt, replacing Nikolaos Tirantafyllakos, who had stepped down.

Lev Kamenev was named to a position which was the functional titular equivalent of Prime Minister of the Soviet Union. Kamenev assumed the position as Lenin was becoming increasingly ill.
He was, of course, executed during Stalin's regime, during which the swimming pool of blood rose higher.

Work was progressing on the James Scott Water Fountain in Detroit.
