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.

Nip Plot To Kill Alfonso.

New York Times 100 years ago today, May 5, 1913:
French Police Seize Anarchists Said to be Implicated.
By Marconi Transatlantic Wireless Telegraph to The New York Times.
PARIS, May 4.— An Anarchist plot to kill King Alfonso during his visit to Paris this week has been discovered by the police of Montpellier, in the south of France.
Several Anarchists, who have been arrested, were found to have been in correspondence with well-known Spanish Anarchists, and several documents have been seized. The closest police surveillance will be maintained in the cases of all suspected persons during the King's visit.
