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.

    ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 23.— Searches by the police of various colleges, notably the Twelfth Gymnasium, which communicates with the apartment of Minister of Instruction Casso, have revealed, it is said, nightly revolutionary meetings of students.
    There are rumors also of the discovery of a plot.
    Hundreds of arrests have been made.
