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.

Gomez Confident Of Peace.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 3, 1913:
Cables The Times That the Whole Country Is Behind Him.
By Cable to the Editor of The New York Times.
    CARACAS, Aug. 2.— Recibido pais entero de pie para sostener la paz.
    GOMEZ.

    (Translation.)

    CARACAS, Aug. 2.—Your telegram received. Entire country fully prepared to preserve peace.
    JUAN VICENTE GOMEZ, (President of Venezuela.)
