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.

Cuba Also Sends A Warship.

New York Times 100 years ago today, February 13, 1913:
Flagship Will Go to Vera Cruz to Protect Cubans There.
HAVANA, Feb. 12.— The Cuban Government is concerned over the safety of Cubans residing in Mexico, and to-night dispatched the cruiser Cuba, the flagship of the Cuban Navy, to Mexican waters.
The Cuba will proceed to Vera Cruz. She has on board a landing party of infantry and artillery for the protection of Cuban citizens there.
