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.

American Cruisers Leave Gibraltar.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 25, 1912:
GIBRALTAR, Nov. 24.— The United States cruisers Tennessee and Montana, which arrived here Thursday under command of Rear Admiral Austin M. Knight, proceeded for Turkish waters to-day for the protection of American citizens. The Tennessee sailed for Smyrna and the Montana for Beirut. Prior to their departure Admiral Knight and staff took luncheon with the Governor Gibraltar.
