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.

Scutari Archbishop Slain?

New York Times 100 years ago today, April 25, 1913:
Unconfirmed Report of His Assassination Received in Rome.
ROME, April 24.— A report of the assassination of the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Scutari, J. Sereggi, has reached Rome, but Cardinal Merry del Val, the Papal Secretary of State, has not communicated it to the Pope, as he wishes to save him any sudden emotion.
No official confirmation of the report of the Archbishop's assassination has been received.
