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.

Cold Stops Hostilities.

New York Times 100 years ago today, February 20, 1913:
Negotiations for Departure of- Foreigners from Adrianople Continue.
    LONDON, Feb. 19.— The bitter cold and snowstorms have caused the suspension of hostilities both in the Gallipoli Peninsula and at Tchatalja.
    According to Constantinople dispatches, negotiations continue for the departure of the Consuls and foreigners from. Adrianople, but no agreement has yet been reached.
    A slight bombardment of Adrianople took place to-day.
