Turkish Commander Killed.

New York Times 100 years ago today, December 24, 1912:
Chief of Staff Also Loses His Life in Janina Fighting.
    LONDON, Tuesday, Dec. 24.— The Morning Post to-day publishes an authoritative Greek account of the recent fighting at Epirus, according to which Ali Riza Pasha, the Turkish commander at Jarana, and his Chief of Staff, Djavid Pasha, were killed and the entire Turkish artillery in the, Sangoni Pass fighting, were captured by the Greeks.
    The dispatch says that the expedition against Goritza, which was commanded by the Greek Crown Prince, had tremendous difficulties owing to the bad roads and the mountainous country, and that it was hard to obtain supplies.
    A dispatch from Athens says the Greek army, advancing on Janina, has suffered a check and that reinforcements have been sent out.
