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.

FISHGUARD, July 22.— Emile Leon Sohler, a passenger on the Cunard liner Lusitania, was arrested on the vessel's arrival here this morning on a charge of alleged extensive frauds in America.
At the New York Police Headquarters it was said last night that the officials there had no knowledge of the charges against Sohler.
