Serbian soldiers defending Belgrade during the Battle of Kolubara.
  • Battle of Kolubara — Austro-Hungarian forces began an assault on the Serbian town of Lazarevac, which would provide a strategic launching spot for a siege on Belgrade to the north.[146]
  • Battle of Łódź — Russian and German forces clashed near Łódź, Poland in bitter winter conditions, even though both armies were still outfitted in summer clothing.[147] A damaged bridge forced German forces to locate an alternative crossing over the Vistula River, and mixed orders caused some units to halt while other advanced too far, spreading out forces thinly. With a large contingent of German troops in danger of being surrounded, Russia ordered trains to the front to anticipate capturing up to 20,000 prisoners (in actuality, there was only a German force of 11,000).[148]
  • Mexican Revolution — Mexican revolutionary leaders Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata advanced on Mexico City after Venustiano Carranza publicly refused to step down from his presidential seat.[149]
  • Battle of Cape Sarych — German battleship SMS Goeben, now the Yavuz for the Ottoman Navy, along with its sister ship SMS Breslau, now the Midilli, engaged with ships with the Russian Black Sea Fleet off the Crimean coast. The Yavuz exchanged fire with the Russian battleship Evstafi, with the Black Sea Fleet warship scoring a hit that killed 13 crew and wounded three more. However, Yavuz scored more devastating hits on Evstafi, killing 34 Russian crew and wounding another 24, forcing the ship and the rest of the fleet to retreat.[150]
  • German General Friedrich Freiherr Kress von Kressenstein was appointed Chief of Staff to the Ottoman Fourth Army upon arrival to Constantinople and would lead the Raid on the Suez Canal in 1915.[151]
  • Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz, Secretary of State for the Imperial German Navy, advocated massed Zeppelin attacks on London in a letter: "The English are now in terror of the Zeppelin, perhaps not without reason ... one could set fire to London in thirty places, then what in a small way is odious would retire before something fine and powerful."[152]
  • Karolina Kózka, a 16-year-old girl who was fully committed to her Catholic faith, died while resisting an attempted rape by a Russian soldier near her village of Wał-Ruda, Poland. Kózka was stabbed several times by a bayonet and died from her wounds after escaping. Because of her strong religious faith and her violent death, her burial site became a religious shrine for many Polish Catholics who saw her as a martyr. In 1987, after much campaigning from Poland, Pope John Paul II beatified her as a "martyr of Christ."[153]
  • Died: Shibli Nomani, 57, Indian theologian, promoter of Islam in India (b. 1857)[citation needed]

  • Joseph Joffre, Commander-in-Chief of French troops since the start of World War One, issued an order directing his army commanders to advance the trenches to within 150 metres (490 ft) of the German positions in order to bring the attacking infantry closer to its objectives.[192]
  • The first successful surgery for duodenal atresia was performed, as surgeon N. P. Ernst of Copenhagen's St Elisabeth's Hospital saved the life of an 11-day old boy.[193]
  • A trawler of Britain's Royal Navy successfully recovered a lead-lined safe that had been on the ocean floor since the sinking, at the Battle of Texel in October of the German torpedo boat S-119. From the safe, British intelligence found the code book revealing the Verkehrsbuch code that the Germans used to communicate with its embassies and warships.[194]
  • Britain's King George V made his first visit to the Western Front in wartime, traveling to France on a visit that started at Dieppe and lasted for five days until his return on December 5.[195]
  • Jack Dempsey, who would reign as the heavyweight boxing champion of the world from 1919 to 1926, made his pro boxing debut, knocking out Billy Murphy in the first round in a bout at the Garrick Theater in Salt Lake City, Utah.[196]
  • The Swedish American Line passenger shipping company was founded as Rederiaktiebolaget Sverige-Nordamerika (Sweden-North America Shipping) as a safer transport option because of Sweden's neutrality during World War One, and would operate from 1915 to 1986.[197]
