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.

To Finish Canal Oct. 1.

New York Times 100 years ago today, May 20, 1913:
Completion Then Certain If Slides Are Not Greater Than Expected.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
PANAMA, May 19.— More laborers are to be imported from the West Indies. Work on the canal is being rushed as never before.
Unless slides interfere to a greater extent than is expected the canal will surely be finished by Oct. 1.
