3 September 1914

SMS EMDEN approached the island of Simeulue during the evening hoping to meet the coaling ship Ulm in Langini Harbour. The continued loud radio traffic from the British ship using the call sign QMD, puzzled the crew. The ship must have been in close proximity and later that evening they learned that evening had been the second time the EMDEN had escaped being located by enemy forces. The first had been in the Yellow Sea when EMDEN trailed the French squadron. The second was when QMD had apparently searched Langini Harbour as the EMDEN was navigating the islands to the North on the way to Langini. Luckily for EMDEN, QMD had been 24 hours too early.

The AN&MEF and the ships associated with transporting them were making final preparations in Port Moresby for their departure for Rabaul. The force would sail on 7 September 1914 with the objective of capturing the German radio station on Rabaul.

Germans reach and begin to cross the Marne. They occupy line Ville sur Tourbe-River Suippe-Chateau Thierry. Germans evacuate Lille.

Lemberg, capital of Galicia, occupied by the Russians, who capture much booty.

Election of Pope Benedict XV.

Prince Wilhelm of Wied, Albania leaves for Venice. With Albania in a state of civil war since July 1914, Greece occupying the south of the country, the great powers at war with one another, his regime collapsed, and so Prince William left the country on 3 September 1914 originally heading to Venice. Despite leaving Albania he did so insisting that he remained head of state. In his proclamation he informed the people that "he deemed it necessary to absent himself temporarily."
