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 Appeal By The Sultan.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 19, 1912:
He Asks the Sovereigns of the Great Powers for Intervention.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 18.— The Sultan, it is stated on good authority, has addressed an appeal to the sovereigns of the great powers requesting intervention to end the war.
A more optimistic tone prevailed in official circles to-day, due to confidence that the troops will be able to hold the lines at Tchatalja.
