Sunday, September 5, 1915. Cooking with electricity.

 


The Casablanca Fair opened.

Texas was seeing fighting, and was armed.


It was also Labor Day weekend.

Another recent add I ran across in the Rawlins Republican:


1915 would have been early for an electric stove, but they did exist.

Czar Nicholas II sent Grand Duke Nicholas to the Caucasus and makes himself Supreme Commander-in-Chief in his place.

Friday, August 20, 1915. Nicholas II takes command of the Russian Army.

Ottomans retook Sair Bair ridge at Gallipoli.

The British launched their last major offensive at Gallipoli, attacking a summit near Suvla Bay, but ultimately withdrawing.

Czar Nicholas II, grossly overestimating his capabilities, removed Grand Duke Nicholas Nikolayevich as Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Army and personally took over the position.

It was a bad move in more ways than one.

Tuesday, June 26, 1900. Prejudice and Equality.

Czar Nicholas issued an Imperial ukase replacing Finnish with Russian as the official language to be phased in over five years in the then Russian territory of Finland.

Keisari Nikolai julkaisi keisarillisen ukaasin, jolla suomi korvattiin virallisella kielellä venäjällä, ja se otetaan käyttöön asteittain viiden vuoden aikana silloisella Venäjän alueella.

Resolution No. 585 went into effect in Indian requiring that "except in a purely English office", no person would be appointed to a government job "unless he knows both Hindi and Urdu" and that incumbent officials would have one year to learn both languages, which wouldn't have been easy.

संकल्प संख्या 585 भारतीय भाषा में लागू हुआ, जिसमें कहा गया कि "विशुद्ध रूप से अंग्रेजी कार्यालय को छोड़कर", किसी भी व्यक्ति को सरकारी नौकरी पर नियुक्त नहीं किया जाएगा "जब तक कि वह हिंदी और उर्दू दोनों नहीं जानता" और मौजूदा अधिकारियों के पास दोनों भाषाओं को सीखने के लिए एक वर्ष का समय होगा, जो आसान नहीं होता।

قرارداد نمبر 585 ہندوستانی میں نافذ ہوا جس میں کہا گیا تھا کہ "خالص طور پر انگریزی دفتر کے علاوہ"، کسی بھی شخص کو سرکاری ملازمت پر تعینات نہیں کیا جائے گا "جب تک کہ وہ ہندی اور اردو دونوں نہ جانتا ہو" اور یہ کہ موجودہ عہدیداروں کے پاس دونوں زبانیں سیکھنے کے لیے ایک سال کا وقت ہوگا، جو آسان نہیں ہوتا۔
