Bulgar Recruits Called Out.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 28, 1912:
    SOFIA, Nov. 27.— The Bulgarian recruits of the 1913 and 1914 classes have been summoned to join the colors by Dec. 3.
    Several thousand recruits of the 1912 class have left the capital for the front in the last three days, thus refuting the statements published abroad that Bulgaria has sent her last man to the war area. The recruits were well equipped and were in high spirits. Flowers decorated their caps and rifles.
    Italian papers publish reports that the Bulgarian army has lost over 90,000 men, including its best troops, and is worn out, short of ammunition and a prey to epidemics. A sweeping official denial is made of all such reports. The statement gives assurance that the army is provided with every necessity and is ready to carry on the campaign with an enthusiasm which has never failed.
    The government organ, Mir, referring to the foreign assertions, says there are plenty more recruits ready to occupy the baracks just vacated. Bulgaria, the paper adds, is now better prepared for war than at the beginning of the campaign.
