Turks Report Fighting.

New York Times 100 years ago today, March 22, 1913:
Bulgarians, However, Say All Is Quiet Along Tchatalja Line.
    LONDON, March 21.— Except for the statement that all is quiet along the Tchatalja line, to-day's official reports concerning the military operations in Southeastern Europe are, as is usual, in direct contradiction of one another.
    A dispatch from Sofia says that the day passed quietly all along the Tchatalja front, and that the previous attempts which the Turks made there to advance were paralyzed with heavy losses. It adds that all continues quiet on the Gallipoli Peninsula and at Adrianople.
    Constantinople, on the other hand, reports that the Turks at Adrianople kept up a continual artillery fire on the Bulgarians to-day and that at Bulair, on the Gallipoli Peninsula, the enemy's left wing which was throwing up fortifications on Examilo Heights, was attacked by Turkish artillery and withdrew, abandoning the intrenchments.
