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.

Greece Decides On War.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 10, 1912:
Note Severing Relations with Turkey Has Been Drawn Up.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    LONDON, Thursday, Oct. 10.— A telegram from The Daily Chronicle's Constantinople correspondent says:
    "The Greek note breaking off diplomatic relations with Turkey has already been drawn up. I was permitted to peruse a copy of it to-day, (Wednesday.)
    "On instructions from Athens, M. Gryparis, on behalf of Greece, will immediately hand it to the Porte."
