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.

PANAMA. Sept. 3.— The cruiser California sailed early this morning for Nicaragua, having on board, nearly 800 marines, who came from Philadelphia on the transport Prairie to reinforce the American contingents which have been landed in the Central American republic from American warships.
