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.

Balkan Outlook Brighter.

New York Times 100 years ago today, June 25, 1913:
Report That Bulgaria Will Now Consent to Russian Arbitration.
LONDON, Wednesday, June 25. — The prospect that the Balkan dispute will be submitted to Russian arbitration and that the Premiers of the four Balkan States will meet in St. Petersburg is much brighter.
The reconstruction of Premier Pasitch’s Ministry indicates that Servia has yielded to Russian advice, and it is even reported that Bulgaria is now ready to accept unconditional Russian arbitration.
This peaceful turn of events is attributed to pressure from Russia and the other powers.
