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.

Last Rebel Refuge In Nicaragua Falls.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 7, 1912:
American Marines Push on to Leon, Without Resistance, and Rescue Foreigners.
MARINES WOUNDED IN FIGHT
Rebels at Small Town Shoot Five and Are Severely Punished — Taft Sends His Compliments.
SAN JUAN DEL SUR, Nicaragua, Oct. 6.— The town of Leon has surrendered to the American forces. There is reason to believe that no fighting occurred, but details of the surrender are lacking.
