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.

No Warship For Colleges.

New York Times 100 years ago today, April 26, 1913:
Secretary Daniels Withdraws Offer Because of Changed Fleet Plans.
Special to The New York Times.
WASHINGTON, April 25.— Secretary Daniels has withdrawn the offer of warships for the use of college students because of the new plans for the Atlantic fleet.
Sending the fleet through the Mediterranean will make it necessary to use some of the ships, now in reserve, for various details. Consequently, there will be none left that will be available for the use of college men.
