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.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 2, 1912:
CETTINJE, Oct. 1.— King Nicholas has ordered a general mobilization of the army.
It is officially announced that the mobilization is for the purpose of demonstrating Montenegro's solidarity with Servia and Bulgaria and to protect threatened interests of Montenegro.
