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.

The Arkansas At Havana.

New York Times 100 years ago today, December 31, 1912:
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.— The battleship Arkansas, which landed President Taft at Key West yesterday, arrived today at Havana, where the ship's company will spend New Year's day. Later the ship will proceed to the New York Navy Yard to make ready for the approaching mid-Winter cruise of the fleet to the West Indies.
