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.

Denial By Porfirio Diaz.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 8, 1913:
Ex-President of Mexico Says He Is Not Going to Japan.
PARIS, Aug. 7.— Gen. Porfirio Diaz, ex-President of Mexico, announced today that he had no intention of going to Japan. It had been reported that he intended to go there, meet his nephew, Gen. Felix Diaz, and return to Mexico with him.
Gen. Diaz is in excellent health. He is well informed as to conditions in Mexico through correspondence, and by means of conversation with visitors from that country. He, however, declines to express any opinion on the situation.
