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.

Rumored Venezuela Plot.

New York Times 100 years ago today, May 25, 1913:
President Gomez Causes Arrest of Conspirators Against His Life.
WILEMSTAD, Curacao, May 14.— Dispatches from Caracas assert that the discovery of a plot against the life of President Juan Vicente Gomez led to several arrests and the flight of a number of politicians.
The alleged flight of Gen. Penalosa is contradicted, and it is stated that he is still at Caracas, where in Government circles President Gomez is thought to hold a stronger position than ever.
