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.

Bulgars Also Accused.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 22, 1912:
Said to Have Fired at Seres Crowd, Killing or Wounding 500.
ATHENS, Nov. 21.— The Athens newspapers print a report published in a Salonika newspaper that the Bulgarian officers at Seres, on the ground that they had been insulted by the Turkish populace, ordered the troops to fire.
The result, it is added, was that 500 persons were killed or wounded.
