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.

Albanians Seize A Town.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 25, 1912:
Insurgents Said to be Marching Now to Capture an Adriatic Port.
ATHENS. Aug. 24.— Albanian insurgents have captured and occupied Berat and are now marching on Avlona on the Adriatic coast, according to semi-official information received here.
The Turkish officials deny the reported successes of the Albanians, but it is known here that the situation in Albania is extremely critical.
