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.

Gonzales Goes As Captive.

New York Times 100 years ago today, March 8, 1913:
Ex-Governor of Chihuahua Sent to Capital for Sedition Trial.
    CHIHUAHUA, Mexico, March 7.—Abraham Gonzales, ex-Governor of Chihuahua, left here to-day for Mexico City under guard for trial on a charge of sedition.
    The Maderista rebels have been driven from Parral and its vicinity with heavy losses by Gen. Mercado and are fleeing toward Durango.
    A thousand former followers of Orozco have surrendered in the last week to Gen. Rabago. The State is quiet, and the outlook reassuring.
