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.

Servia Celebrates Victories.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 28, 1912:
Processions in Belgrade Streets Follow News of Uskub's Fall.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    BELGRADE, Oct. 27.— The taking of Uskub by the Servian Army has elated the people who were so stoical yesterday when awaiting the news.
    It is now considered that Servia has performed her part in the great campaign, and a general celebration is in progress.
    Old men and boys with flags of the allies are marching and singing from one legation of the allies to another.
