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.

Moors Raid Spanish Posts.

New York Times 100 years ago today, June 6, 1913:
Kill Soldiers and Farmers In the Neighborhood of Tetuan.
TETUAN, Morocco, June 5.— Raiding parties of Moors suddenly attacked a number of Spanish military posts in this neighborhood to-day.
They killed seven Spanish soldiers at Rincon, two at Dersa, one at Rio Martin, and two in the outskirts of this city. Many lonely farms also were raided, and their occupants presumably killed or carried off by the Moors.
