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.

Montenegrins Fight Turks On Border.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 12, 1912:
Cettinje Excited Over the Resumption of Conflict with Sultan's Soldiers.
BULGARIA EAGER FOR WAR
Massacre at Kotschana Has Roused the Nation and the Press Clamors for Revenge.
CETTINJE, Montenegro, Aug. 11.— Frontier fighting between the Turks and Montenegrins was resumed to-day, when reinforcements reached the Turkish fortified posts on the eastern frontier.
The greatest excitement prevails in the capital.
