Accuses Allies At Salonika.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 24, 1912:
Correspondent Tells of Lawlessness of Soldiers and Anti-Jewish Outbreak.
    LONDON, Nov. 23.— A story of lawlessness and looting by Bulgarians and Greeks in Salonika, where the inhabitants have been in a state of terror lest the allies in occupation fall to fighting each other, has been sent by the correspondent of the Reuter Telegram Company under date of Nov. 16. The correspondent is an Englishman of many years' residence in Salonika and well acquainted with the city and surrounding country. He writes :
    "The Bulgarians on the march to Salonika had already more than a taste of blood and rapine, having ravaged without mercy the Turkish villages on their route. As soon as they entered Salonika they instituted a systematic pillage of the quarters occupied by them, regardless of the remonstrances of the Greek officials.
    "A continuous fusillade was kept up on Nov. 10 and 11 by the soldiers of both the Bulgarian and Greek Armies and the Christian population. The firing resulted in numerous casualties. A stoker of the steamer Medea was killed while in the pinnace alongside the ship. A hail of bullets, according to the reports of the ships' officers, fell on the decks of the foreign warships for several nights.
    "The soldiers, guided by roughs, entered whatever houses appeared to offer prospects of good booty and cleared out everything worth taking. The terror-stricken owners offered no resistance. It would have been useless, in view of the bayonets held to their breasts and the revolvers thrust against their temples.
    "Hundreds of cases of this kind have been reported by the victims, who poured their complaints into the ears of the foreign Consuls. The indignant protests of the Consuls to the Greek authorities have had little effect, The arrival of a body of Greek gendarmerie on Nov. 12, however, improved the situation.
    "In the meantime a violent anti-Jewish outbreak occurred, apparently because the Jews abstained from decorating their houses with Greek flags and did not join in shouting a welcome to the soldiers. The Greek press spread a story that Jewish liquor sellers had poisoned twelve Evzones, supplying them with corrosive sublimate instead of cognac. Several Jews were arrested, but were released the next day. The mischief had already been done and many Jews suffered at the hands of the soldiers. Their assailants were not punished,
    "The differences between the Bulgarians and Greeks regarding the ultimate destiny of Salonika have reached an acute stage and there is no fraternizing. King Ferdinand is expected to reach here soon for the purpose of reminding King George by his presence that the Greek sovereign is not the only potentate in Salonika.
    "The Bulgarians are firmly resolved that their occupation of Salonika shall be permanent. There are many incidents to prove that the relations between the Bulgarians and the Greeks at this moment are really those of inveterate enemies, who are prevented from flying at each other's throats only by a frail and temporary truce.
    "The people of Salonika, who lately feared that Hassan Tahsin Pasha intended to make their city a second Saragossa, and who have already suffered much at the hands of the allies, are now haunted by the terror that the allies may at any moment come to blows. The departure of almost all the foreign warships is surely ill-timed."
