Thursday, December 10, 1914. Austro Hungarian retreat.

Nobel Prizes were awarded to German physicist Max von Laue, American chemist Theodore William Richards and Austro-Hungarian physiologist Róbert Bárány.

The Serbians reached the lower Drina, forcing most of the Austro Hungarian troops to retreat towards Bosnia.

The HMS Ark Royal, the Royal Navy's first aircraft carrier, was commissioned.

Joseph Smith III, the eldest son of Mormon founder Joseph Smith, and head of the conservative and more conventional Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (RLDS Church), died at age 82.  He was a lifelong opponent of polygamy and denied his father's involvement in it, something rather difficult to do.

Last edition:

Tuesday, December 8, 1914. Battle of Falkland Islands.
