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.

Guatemala to Sign Peace Treaty.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 17, 1913:
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.— Joaquin Mendez, Guatemalan Minister here, informed Secretary Bryan to-day that he had received instructions from his Government to sign a general peace treaty as proposed by Mr. Bryan, with the United States. This will be done early next week. Guatemala will be the second nation to do so, Salvador having been the first.
