  • The New York Stock Exchange resumes bond trading after a hiatus of almost four months. With the outbreak of war large numbers of foreign investors had begun to sell their holdings, forcing the NYSE to cease trading on 31 July 1914. (It was not until the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington on September 11, 2001 that the exchange again ceased trading for an extended period of time. On this occasion trading was suspended for three days.)
  • Fighting begins at Miranshah on the North-West Frontier of India. A raid by 2,000 tribesmen from Khost is defeated by the North Waziristan Militia.
