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 York Times 100 years ago today, January 17, 1913:

Special Cable to The New York Times.
RIO JANEIRO, Jan. 16.— Russia made an offer to Brazil to-day to purchase the battle ship, Rio Janeiro, which is nearing completion in England.
The Government refused the offer.
