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.

Servians Expecting War.

New York Times 100 years ago today, September 20, 1912:
Business in Belgrade at a Standstill — Mobilization Rumor.
    BELGRADE, Sept. 19.— The greatest alarm was occasioned here to-day by a rumor that mobilization had been ordered.
    The rumor was officially denied, but the belief persists that war with Turkey is impending.
    As a consequence business generally has been brought to a standstill.
