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.

King Nicholas With His Army.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 9, 1912:
    CETTINJE, Oct. 8— King Nicholas, with his second son, Prince Mirko, left the capital at noon to-day for the army headquarters at Podgoritza, to the accompaniment of guns thundering, bells pealing, and crowds cheering.
    The Ministers of the allied Balkan States saw the King off.
    Before his departure the King received the Russian and Austrian Ministers, who jointly made a last effort for the maintenance of peace.
