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.

Reform For All Turkey.

New York Times 100 years ago today, September 17, 1912:
Decided On by Ministers — British Advisers to be Employed.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 16.— The Council of Ministers to-day adopted several important measures.
The first related to the suspension of martial law in Constantinople; the second to the extension of the Albanian concessions to all other parts of the Empire, and the third to the engagement of English advisers for the departments of Public Safety, Police, Posts and Telegraphs, and Statistics. It is understood that advisers of other nationalities are to be engaged, for other departments.
