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.

Special Cable to The New York Times.
HAVANA, May 8.— Cuba has ordered a cruiser and two gunboats to patrol the route from Key West to Havana for the Cuban aviator Rosillo, who expects to fly across the channel to Havana on Saturday morning. Rosillo looks for similar assistance from the United States Navy Department.
