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.

Trevino Repudiates Rebels.

New York Times 100 years ago today, March 8, 1913:
MONTEREY, Mexico, March 7.— Gen. Geronimo Trevino, Provisional Governor of the State of Nuevo Leon, received a telegram to-day from Gov. Carranza of Coahuila inviting him to join in the revolution against the new Administration. Gen. Trevino expressed indignation. He refused to reply to the message. He asserted he never would be disloyal to the legal Government of Mexico.
This is believed to put an end to the rumors that Gen. Trevino, was inclined to join in the revolt because of the killing of President Madero, who was his kinsman by marriage.
