Reports Janina'S Fall Near.

New York Times 100 years ago today, December 18, 1912:
Greek Army Expects to Gain Fort Bizani, the Key to the Town
    ATHENS, Dec. 17.— The continued assaults by the Greeks on Fort Bizani, the key to Janina, and regarded by the Turks as impregnable, have been so successful that its defenders will be able to resist only a few hours longer, according to a semi-official account of the fighting around Janina.
    The batteries of Bizani were silenced after a bombardment which lasted all day. One shell destroyed the artillery magazine, while others put out of operation in succession the guns of the enemy's batteries
    The right wing of the Greek forces is advancing toward Fort Drom, at the summit of the mountain opposite Bizani. Great confusion prevails among the defenders of this fort. The guns are being removed and the Turks are leaving.
    Gen. Sapountzakis, who is in personal command, has aroused the enthusiasm of the Greek troops by his courage. The fall of Bizani will free the road to Janina.
