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.

New York Times 100 years ago today, February 20, 1913:
Diaz Orders That His Secretary and Others Be Arrested.
LAREDO, Texas, Feb. 19.— A telegram from Felix Diaz to revolutionary headquarters here, directs that a close watch be kept for Gustavo Garmendia, Jesus Urueta, Juan Sanchez Azcona, Secretary to President Madero, and any members of President Madero's family. If captured, the message states, they are to be arrested and held.
