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.

Montenegro Obeys Powers.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 27, 1912:
Says She Won't Provoke War with Turkey, but Defends Attitude.
CETTINJE, Aug. 26.— In response to energetic diplomatic intimations that Montenegro must not provoke war with Turkey, King Nicholas and the Montenegrin Government to-day gave to the representatives of the Great Powers assurances that nothing contrary to the wishes of the leading European nations would be done.
At the same time the King and his Ministers declared that Montenegro had no aggressive intentions, and that she was merely protecting herself against Turkey's attacks on the frontier.
