A WWI Diary That Never Was

WWI Diary was to have brought you the whole of World War I as it was reported in the papers of the day, exactly 100 years later. For a year I blogged news leading up to the big war, thinking if there was any real interest regular readers would trickle in. They did not. Count: zero. So I stopped blogging the war news. For students of the time, 1914-1918 editions are available on the Web as thousands of individual articles via a Times service called Spiderbites.

Join Wilson Pilgrimage.

New York Times 100 years ago today, July 14, 1912:
At Least 200 Democratic Congressmen to Call on the Governor.
WASHINGTON, July 13.— More than eighty Democratic members of the House signified their intention to-day of joining the official House pilgrimage to Sea Girt, N.J., to call upon Gov. Woodrow Wilson.
The visit, arranged at the House Democratic caucus yesterday, probably will be made next Saturday, when the Committee on Arrangements expects that fully 200 Democratic Representatives will be on the special train when it leaves the Capitol. The House win adjourn over Saturday to permit of the trip.
