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.

SUSPEND PEACE CONFERENCE
Allies' Envoys Are Angered by Turkey's Reply — Expectation That the Powers Will Now Act.
VIENNA, Jan. 6.— A Sofia dispatch says that, at the request of the commander at Adrianople, Bulgarian and Turkish delegates met this morning.
It is supposed that the meeting was for the purpose of discussing the question of capitulation.
