Somewhere on the East Coast, a "conduit" was being built.
Construction at the time still involved a lot of horse power in the literal sense, something that was rapidly changing.
And with that change would come to an end one more daily association of men with animals, making us the poorer for it.
The Convention of Madanya began with representatives of the Allied Powers meeting with Turkish representatives in order to negotiate an end to the Chanak Crisis. The Allied Powers were frankly impaired, as the British government was not willing to fight over the issues the crisis presented without the support of the Dominions, and they didn't have it. The French were not willing to fight either, and the Greek government had collapsed.
On the same day, Metropolitan Gregory of Kydonies, age 58, together with other priests, were executed by the Turks.
The Irish Free State offered an amnesty to its armed opponents who voluntarily surrendered their arms before October 15.
Following that date, the Irish Free State, something that had come about due to civilian use of arms, unless a person buys the claim that those civilians were under arms from a legitimate, if unrecognized, government, would arrest in large numbers Irish Republicans caught with "illegal" arms. Ever since that time, the Irish government has been hostile to civilian's owning arms, something which is truly ironic in context.
Italian Fascists took over the city of Bolzana and deposed the Mayor, who had been in power since 1895, at which time the city had been in Austria.
