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 Nicaraguan Revolt.

New York Times 100 years ago today, February 25, 1913:
Gen. Mena Says Non-intervention in Mexico Means Many More.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
PANAMA, Feb. 24.— A fresh revolution has broken out in Chichigalpa, Nicaragua, headed by Francisco Vaca.
Gen. Mena, who is detained here, says that non-intervention by the United States in Mexico means many revolutions in Central America at an early date. His statements appear to have some support from close friends of Castro here, who predict that a revolution in Venezuela is sure to come within a few months, and say that plans for it are already made.
