New York Times 100 years ago today, November 23, 1912:
New Positions Taken by Besiegers, Who Repel Turks' Sorties.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
LONDON, Saturday, Nov. 23.— Bennet Burleigh wires to The Daily Telegraph from Mustapha Pasha under date of yesterday morning:
"The great bombardment of Adrianople proceeds furiously.
"It became intense about 2 o'clock in the morning. The Turks used an electric searchlight and replied hotly for a time with all their guns.
"There were attempted sallies, but these were repulsed with much slaughter. New positions and forts have been captured.
"In this fighting there was by far the heaviest fire of the siege."
