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.

Peace Terms Suit Allies.

New York Times 100 years ago today, May 26, 1913:
They Will Not Ask for Further Modifications — Turks Are Encouraged.
LONDON. May 25.— The allies informed Osman Nizami Pasha at a joint meeting of the Balkan and Ottoman peace delegates to-day that they had no intention of asking for further modification of the peace terms already put forward.
This announcement is regarded as an important step in the direction of peace, as the Ottomans anticipated that if any modifications were suggested it would leave the door open for further demands on the part of the allies.
