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.

Huerta Harsh To Senator.

New York Times 100 years ago today, July 19, 1913:
Del Valle Accompanies Wilson on Trip to Washington.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
VERA CRUZ, July 18.— Senator Del Valle accompanied United States Ambassador Wilson, who sailed yesterday on the steamship Mexico, on his way to Washington for a conference with President Wilson. The Senator's mission is entirely unofficial, and it is said that at a recent conference President Huerta answered some of his pertinent questions rather harshly.
Ninety Americans sailed from here for Havana and New York on the same ship with Ambassador Wilson.
