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.

Want Roosevelt as Ambassador.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 1, 1913:
Special to The New York Times.
AUSTIN, Texas, July 31.— A petition was set afoot here to-day to have Col. Theodore Roosevelt appointed Ambassador to Mexico. Many persons have signed it. It is to be sent to Washington as soon as all the citizens of Austin shall have had opportunity to affix their names to it.
