This 16 page newspaper has one column headlines on the back page: "BRITANNIC SUNK BY MINE OR TORPEDO" and "Fear Americans Were Aboard British Hospital Ship"
Other news and advertisements of the day including a front page report on the death of Jack London. Light browning, minor margin wear, otherwise good. Should be handled with care.
wikipedia notes: HMHS Britannic was the third and largest Olympic-class ocean liner of the White Star Line. She was the sister ship of RMS Olympic and RMS Titanic, and was intended to enter service as a transatlantic passenger liner. She was launched just before the start of the First World War and was laid up at her builders in Belfast for many months before being put to use as a hospital ship in 1915. In that role she struck a mine off the Greek island of Kea on 21 November 1916, and sank with the loss of 30 lives.
