Adrianople's Plight.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 28, 1912:
    MUSTAPHA PASHA, Nor. 27.— Fire, famine, flood and anarchy afflict the besieged fortress of Adrianople, according to reports brought here by fugitives from that city.
    These refugees, who managed to escape through the lines of investment which are being drawn closer every day, declare that many buildings in the vicinity of the Selim Mosque are on fire. Other districts of the city are deeply inundated with the waters of the Rivers Maritza, Tunga, and Arda, which have overflowed their banks.
    The civilian population is declared to be short of food, and among some classes a state approaching anarchy exists.
