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.

Germany Prepares Warships.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 4, 1912:
Two Armored Cruisers Making Ready at Kiel for Eastern Service.
KIEL, Nov. 3.— The new armored cruiser Göben and the protected cruiser Breslau are taking on provisions and ammunition and making ready to sail in twenty-four hours. It is understood that they will proceed for Turkish waters.
The cruisers Hertha, Vineta, and Geier, already in the Mediterranean, have been ordered to Turkish waters.
