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.

Alfonso To Meet Kaiser.

New York Times 100 years ago today, May 12, 1913:
Conference May Have a Bearing Upon Franco-Spanish Alliance.
MADRID, May 11.— King Alfonso and the German Emperor will meet in Holland on the occasion of the international regatta in the Summer, according to the Tribune.
This is considered significant, in view of the present strong influence which the Triple Entente has over the King, possibly foreshadowing a Franco-Spanish military alliance, which the German Emperor does not welcome.
