  • At Sidi Garba in Tripolitania (now part of Libya), 1,000 Italian soldiers were killed or wounded in fighting with the Libyan natives. The commanding officer relied on disinformation that had been provided by the Libyans to a man who had been taken prisoner and then released, and underestimated the size of the Arab defenders. Command divided 3,000 men into three columns, supported by four cannons and "a battery of howitzers". After forcing a group of Libyans to retreat, the men rested and were surrounded and attacked. Italian command would later describe the loss as "the bloodiest day in the whole Italo-Turkish War".[62]
  • Bremen Airport was established by the Bremen city government.[63]
  • The District Court in Vienna, approved the release of inheritance money to a 24-year-old artist, Adolf Hitler, under the terms of the will of his late father, Alois Hitler.

  • The Turkish-American steamship Nevada, with 200 passengers and crew, strayed into a mined part of the harbor at Smyrna while trying to avoid another ship, and struck three mines before sinking. Based on reports of 80 survivors, initial news stories reported 120 people had drowned.[89] The figure was later revised to forty deaths.[90]
  • Kaiser Wilhelm, was married to Prince Ernest Augustus of Cumberland, in the last royal wedding to take place in Germany.[91]
  • Luther McCarty, who was recognized as the "white world heavyweight boxing champion" (Jack Johnson was the world champion), died in the first round of a bout in Calgary against Arthur Pelkey. McCarty was killed when Pelkey punched him in the chest, and fell to the mat halfway through the first round.[92] An autopsy later determined that McCarty had died of a broken neck and hemorrhage, as a result of a hit to the jaw 30 seconds earlier that had snapped his head back.[93] Pelkey would be tried for manslaughter, and acquitted on June 24.[94]
