Febuary 1917.
6th By this morning's paper ("Daily Mail") the news is confirmed, that America has severed all diplomatic relations with Germany & has handed Count Bernstoff- the German Ambassador in America- his passport, & it has also been rumoured that she has declared war on America. Albert was bombed again to-night, causing about a dozen casualties in the reinforcement camp & a few others in the town.
7th To-days paper does not give anything further with regard to America. More bombs were dropped on Albert to night, but the planes were driven off by some of our own machines. It has been rumoured that China has sent a "note" to Germany with regard to the Submarine Blockade
