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.

PANAMA, Aug. 1.— Giuseppe Garibaldi, who was a rebel General under Madero, and a canal detective here are thought to be preparing to join Castro in Venezuela. They are also credited with recruiting American soldiers of fortune for the new revolution.
The police are watching them, but are reticent as to their discoveries.
