In Britain... Towards evening, one of the first batches of German magnetic mines to be dropped by parachute, by a low-flying He111, lands on the mud flats at Shoeburyness, near the Thames Estuary and British authorities are immediately informed. Meanwhile, a national savings scheme is launched under the slogan "Lend to Defend the Right to be Free."
In London... Navicerts, warrants first issued in 1915 to neutral ships carrying cargos not harmful to the Allies, are reintroduced.
In Paris... The French government announces reprisals, similar to those announced by the British government, concerning the German use of mines.
In Bucharest... The Romanian cabinet resigns.
