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.

Turks Fear A Revolution.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 17, 1912:
Young Turks' Leaders Arrested for Plot to Restore Abdul Hamid.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 16.— Several leading Young Turks were arrested in Constantinople to-day, including Suleiman Nazif, ex-Vali of Bagdad, and Muhi Eddin, editor of the newspaper Tanin, for complicity in an alleged plot to upset the Government.
Other arrests are impending in connection with the propaganda to restore the ex-Sultan, Abdul Hamid, to the throne.
