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.

Roumania Takes Precaution.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 19, 1912:
Will Mobilize Army Corps if Bulgaria Wins a Victory.
BUCHAREST, Oct. 18.— The Roumanian Government has decided to prepare three of its army corps for mobilization.
In the opinion of semi-official circles, Roumania thinks that any eventual successes of the Bulgarian armies would be dangerous to herself. She has, therefore, decided to abandon her waiting attitude and order the mobilization of the First, Third, and Fifth Army Corps immediately upon Bulgaria gaining an important victory.
