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.

All but Montenegro Conclude Truce with Turkey.
CONSTANTINOPLE, April 20.— Delegates representing Turkey and all the Balkan allies, with the exception of Montenegro, signed an armistice on Saturday at Bulair.

LONDON, Monday, April 21.— A Belgrade dispatch to the Daily Mail says that the existence of a secret Austro-Bulgarian convention providing for reciprocal assistance in conflicts with Servia has been revealed through the indiscretion of a subordinate diplomatic official.
