Gains on Western Front
* On the Western Front French forces were reported to have captured the village of Steinbach in Alsace after "a sensational struggle". The Germans in Belgium were being forced back "yard by yard" towards the French frontier. It was reported that a battalion of Austrians had surrendered at Uszok Pass, which led across the Carpathians towards Hungary and, on the Hungarian side, Russian forces were pursuing German allied forces.
