Greeks Suffer A Check.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 5, 1912:
Meet a Superior Turkish Force — Atrocities by the Moslems.
    ATHENS, Nov. 4.— The Greek advance on Monastir has suffered a check. A force marching from Janitza to Fiorina, twenty miles to the south of Monastir, met a superior Turkish force and was obliged to suspend the march and entrench in a strong position.
    The fighting between the Turks and the Greeks around Janitza was of a most stubborn character. The fields around the city are covered with bodies and the road from Janitza to Salonika is strewn with war material thrown away by the retreating Turks,
    The Greeks have captured a large number of prisoners and fourteen pieces of field artillery.
    A wireless message from a foreign warship at Salonika says that the Turkish Army which was defeated at Yenidje, about fourteen miles from Salonika, has reached that city in complete disaster.
    Before their flight from Statista, to the southwest of Kosani, the Turks pillaged a monastery. They cut a monk to pieces, impaled a 3-year-old child, and massacred many of the inhabitants of the town.
    The Greeks pursued and killed many of them.
