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.

War Measure By Austria.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 22, 1912:
Partial Mobilization Expected as a Result of Russia's Attitude.
By Marconi Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph to The New York Times.
VIENNA, Nov. 21.— Partial mobilization is expected in the Galician and lower Hungarian frontier districts, owing to Russia's pronounced stand in favor of the Servian demand for an Albanian seaport.
The Austrian fleet at Pola is kept under steam, and it is rumored that a joint demonstration of the fleets of Austria, Germany, and Italy is impending on the Albanian coast should the Servian Government not give way.
