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.

Seize Bulgar Towns.

New York Times 100 years ago today, July 14, 1913:
Rumanians Take Four, and May Press On to Sofia.
VIENNA, July 18.— According to the Militarische Rundschau, Rumanian detachments have occupied Rustchuk, Turtukai, Dobritch, and Baltchik, having crossed the Danube from Giurgevo and Calarasi. They also landed at Rahova, which is the starting point of a good road to Sofia.
The seeming intention is to dictate peace from Sofia unless Bulgaria speedily agrees to the Rumanian demands.
