New York Times 100 years ago today, November 8, 1912:
SOFIA, Nov. 7.— The Bulgarians occupied the town of Drama on Nov. 5. The Turkish troops in that region have been scattered in all directions. Most of them have surrendered their arms, and are returning to their homes. Other remnants are so demoralized that the peasants terrorize them and compel them to disarm and flee.
Throughout the district the inhabitants have warmly welcomed the Bulgarians, and a Bulgarian administration has been established.
In the five days' fighting along the line between Lule-Burgas and Bunar-Hissar the Bulgarians, it was officially announced to-day, lost 15,000 men, killed or wounded. The Turkish casualties exceeded 40,000.
It is officially announced that, the Port of Rodosto, on the Sea of Marinora, and the City of Visa, to the southeast of Adrianople, were occupied by the Bulgarian troops on Nov. 5.
