The Halberstadt and General News published this paper on February 14th, 1915. The top headline reports on 29,000 Russians being captured in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania as of that date. The Carpathian Winter War was fought in 1915, where snow, freezing temperatures, and the dangerous mountain terrain were more deadly enemies than the Germans. Only a few train tracks and roads ran through the mountains which made it difficult to travel and ship supplies to these lines, and it proved problematic to manoeuvring. In the end, most fatalities came from the severe cold and terrain. The Russians were more prepared to deal with these temperatures and this terrain, but the additional manpower they poured into this region proved fatal for them later when Germany attacked the Eastern Front in May, 1915.
The middle headline is “The American Note to the German Government” where ‘the American government expresses its concern about German naval ships raiding trade vessels and notes that if any American ships or citizens are injured by such actions, the American government will consider retaliatory action’. This is foreshadowing to the sinking of the RMS Lusitania in May of 1915, in which the British-owned steamship was torpedoed by a German U-boat, killing around over a thousand people, including 128 Americans. This is what started a series of events that led to the United States entering World War One.
The final headline announces that German native forces in German-occupied East Africa repelled an attack by English colonial troops.
