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.

Military Party Aims to Overthrow It by Installing an Army Triumvirate.
LONDON, Dec. 15.— A Constantinople dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company reports that the military party is becoming so strong as to threaten the overthrow of the Kiamil Ministry in favor of a triumvirate composed of Nazim Pasha, the Minister of War; Izzet Pasha, Chief of the General Staff, and Mahmoud Schefket Pasha, the former commander of the revolutionary army.
