Dec. 16 German cruisers bombard Scarborough, Hartlepool, and Whitby, on English coast, killing fifty or more persons; Austrians said to have lost upwards of 100,000 men in Serbian defeat. Dec. 25 Italy occupies Avlona, Albania. January 1 British battleship Formidable sunk. Jan. 8 Roumania mobilizes 750,000 men; violent fighting in the Argonne.
