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.

LONDON, Feb. 15.— The announcement of the withdrawal of the Lusitania from the sailing schedules till August confirms The New York Times dispatch of Feb. 2 in which it was stated that six months would be required for repairs. Further information than that already printed cannot be obtained.
