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.

Notes of Foreign Affairs.

New York Times 100 years ago today, March 2, 1913:
GUAYAQUIL, Ecuador.— Gonzalo S. Cordoba, at one time Minister of the Interior, has been appointed Minister to the United States, and has left for Washington.

RIGA, March 1.— Over thirty steamers are frozen fast in the Gulf of Riga. Ice-breaking tugs have been dispatched to the scene to endeavor to extricate them from their dangerous position.
