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.

Russian Embassy Makes Public a Reassuring Cablegram.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.— The Russian Embassy made public to-day a cablegram announcing that the young czarevitch was recovering rapidly from the attack he sustained recently.
Officials of the Embassy declared that the message should set at rest erroneous reports regarding the condition of the young Prince. There was no foundation, it was stated, for the reports that he was suffering from a permanent injury or an incurable illness.
