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.

Austrian Note To Czar.

New York Times 100 years ago today, February 2, 1913:
Francis Joseph Sends Pacific Message to Russian Emperor.
By Marconi Transatlantic Wireless to The New York Times.
VIENNA, Feb. 1.— An autograph letter from Emperor Francis Joseph. Is to be delivered to the Czar by Prince von Hohenlohe Waldenburg-Schillingsfurst. It refers to an amicable adjustment of the Austrian and Russian differences concerning the Balkan situation.
The importance of the mission is shown by the fact that all the Austrian Ambassadors abroad had been officially informed beforehand of Emperor Francis Joseph's act. The Prince left to-night for St. Petersburg, where he was recently Military Attaché of the Austrian Embassy.
