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.

Will Cede Adrianople.

New York Times 100 years ago today, February 28, 1913:
Turkey Wants to Renew Negotiations and Solicits Offices of Russia.
    SOFIA, Feb. 27.— Turkey has once more signified her readiness to negotiate for peace with Bulgaria, this time on the basis of including the cession of Adrianople.
    The Turkish Government has solicited the good offices of Russia, and the Russian Government last evening transmitted to the Bulgarian Government a message it had received from Michel de Giers, the Russian Ambassador at Constantinople, containing the Turkish proposals for fresh negotiations.
    The Bulgarian Council of Ministers met to-day to discuss the subject.
