Servians Capture Krushevo.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 7, 1912:
    BELGRADE, Nov. 6.— The town of Krushevo, twenty miles north of Monastir, has been captured by the Servians after a short resistance.
    Novovarosh, the last Turkish position in the district of Novi-Bazar, has surrendered to the Servian troops without resistance. Six Turkish officers and 225 men were taken prisoners, and 250 rifles were handed over to the Servians.
    The town of Perlepe, on the way to Monastir, which surrendered yesterday to the Servians, offered a stubborn resistance and both armies suffered heavily.
    A number of correspondents have returned from headquarters, as no further important war operations in Macedonia are expected.
