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.

Montenegrins Near Scutari.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 23, 1912:
    CETTINJE, Oct. 22.— Late last night King Nicholas went to Rieka, a small Montenegrin town between Cettinje and Scutari, where he met Crown Prince Danilo. The Prince had just returned from Antivari. They held a council of war and early this morning the bombardment of Tarabosch was begun and was continued throughout the day.
    The King passed most of the day on board a steamer on Lake Scutari watching the operations.
    The Montenegrin infantry are advancing from the northwest, and are within twelve miles of Scutari.
