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.

New York Times 100 years ago today, June 16, 1913:
Water from the Atlantic Will Be Admitted To-day.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
PANAMA, June 15.— The Gatun locks were completed Saturday.
Water from the Atlantic Ocean will be let in the lower level on Monday. These are the first of the locks to be put into use.
