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.

Madero Talks with Carranza.

New York Times 100 years ago today, April 6, 1913:
EAGLE PASS, Texas, April 5.— Alfonso Madero, head of the Madero family, conferred here yesterday with Gov. Carranza of Coahuila.

LAREDO, Texas, April 5.— Full details of the three-day battle between Federals and Carranzistas at Saltillo, Mexico, March 22, 23 and 24, received here to-day, state the number killed was 269. The Federal loss was small, compared to that of the rebels, it is asserted.
