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.

Allies To Take All Albania.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 19, 1912:
Servia's Purpose to Seize Durazzo Is Fixed.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    LONDON, Tuesday, Nov. 19.— The Daily Mail's correspondent in Sofia telegraphs:
    "The Bulgarian Cabinet has been sitting all day discussing the terms of peace to be offered to Turkey in the name of the Balkan League. Servia insists on acquiring part of the Albanian coast, together with the port of Durazzo.
    "I have reason to believe that the allies will insist on the cession of the whole of the conquered territory, including all Albania.
    "Servia at least is most firmly resolved to possess Durazzo."
