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.

Huerta Reviled In Cartoon.

New York Times 100 years ago today, March 1, 1913:
By Marconi Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph to The New York Times.
PARIS, Feb. 28.— Ruy Blas will print to-morrow a cartoon representing Gen. Huerta, Provisional President of Mexico, sitting on a throne whereon is written, "Coward! Assassin! Traitor!"
The figure of Europe is represented as standing in front of him, addressing Mexico as follows: "After the cowardly murder of Madero I will never recognize such a President." Mexico, replying, says: " You acted very differently after the murder of Draga and Alexander."
