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.

Declares Carranza Will Not Surrender.

New York Times 100 years ago today, March 1, 1913:
William A. Staats of this city writes to The Times to deny reports that Gov. Carranza of Coahuila, Mexico, will surrender to the Huerta Government. He declares that he is in receipt daily of messages from the Governor declaring that he will not surrender to be murdered or imprisoned unjustly.
