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.

Must Consult Rumania.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 29, 1912:
States Will Have to Consider Her if Turkey Is Cut Up.
    BUCHAREST, Oct. 28.— The Cabinet has decided that the circumstances do not warrant the mobilization of the Rumanian army.
    The King, addressing the Ministers, declared, however, that the existing grave situation would impose upon Rumania "the duty of arriving at important decisions."
    The King's speech is interpreted as indicating that in the event of Turkey's defeat Rumania will insist upon being consulted in any redistribution of Turkish dominions.
