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.

Death Threat To Premier.

New York Times 100 years ago today, January 12, 1913:
Detectives Guard His Home After News of Dynamite Plot.
VICTORIA, B.C., Jan. 11.— Detectives are on guard at the home of Sir Richard McBride, Premier of British Columbia, because of the receipt by him of an anonymous letter from Vancouver to-day, warning him of an alleged plot to dynamite the official residence.
The Premier of late has received several letters threatening the lives of himself and his family.
