Bulgar Recruits To Front.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 25, 1912:
Will Garrison Macedonian Towns, Letting Allies Go to Tchatalja.
    SOFIA, Nov. 24.— After twenty-one days of training the 1912 recruits will leave Sofia to-morrow for garrison duty in Macedonia, where a majority of the Greek and Servian forces are held in readiness to go to Tchatalja in the event of failure of the peace negotiations.
    Railway communication has been established along the whole line with Demotica, Baba Eski, Kirk-Kilisseh, and other points. This will facilitate the concentration of these forces at the front should the war be resumed.
    It is announced confidently that the combined forces will enter Constantinople together.
    The foreign attachés who have been at Kirk-Kilisseh for the past week returned to Stara Zagora yesterday.
    The semi-official Mir warns the allies to beware of the intrigues of the powers, aiming to break up the Balkan alliance, and advises a postponement of the settlement of difficulties with each other.
    The first question to be solved, says the Mir, is how to exact a satisfactory peace from Turkey. The second duty of the allies is the settlement of various international questions with Europe.
    For this purpose it is most important that the allies show a united front. Only when these tasks are achieved will the Balkan States have an opportunity of settling their own internal affairs among themselves.
