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.

Greeks Are Improving Salonika.

New York Times 100 years ago today, December 26, 1912:
SALONIKA, Dec. 25.— The Greeks have now adopted effective measures to insure the proper sanitation of the city. All cases of infectious and contagious disease are reported to the authorities, and hospitals for the care of these patients have been opened. The water supply and municipal scavenging systems are being reorganized and an extensive medical service has been arranged.
