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.

To Shoot Foreign Airmen.

New York Times 100 years ago today, January 10, 1913:
Russian Government Warns Them Not to Cross the Frontier.
ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 9.— The Cabinet has issued an order prohibiting foreign balloonists and aviators from crossing the western frontier for six months.
Any one violating this order, it is announced, is liable to be shot down.
