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.

Porfirio Diaz Still in Paris.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 6, 1913:
PARIS, Aug. 5.— There is no truth in the report published in the United States that Gen. Porfirio Diaz left Southampton on July 15 last for Japan by way of the Suez Canal, to meet his nephew, Gen. Felix Diaz, and accompany him back to Mexico. The former Mexican President still is in his apartment in Paris.
