CONSTANTINOPLE, June 22.— Twenty men were to-day sentenced to death after trials by court martial for complicity in the assassination of the Grand Vizier, Mahout Chefket Pasha.
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.
