New York Times 100 years ago today, August 5 1912:
Soldiers Growing Restive and Demanding Chamber's Dissolution.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
LONDON, Monday, Aug. 5.— The Constantinople correspondent of The London Times telegraphs:
"The general situation here is not improved. A meeting of forty committee officers, under the Presidency of Faik Bey, recently Grand Master of the Grand Orient of Turkey, was held on the Hill of Liberty on Friday to protest against the political activity of the Military League. Several promoters of the meeting will, it is reported, be brought before court-martial, while the Military League is said to have summoned a meeting of 300 officers on the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus for this morning.
"From the provinces come telegrams reporting that the Albanian forces at Koslovo are growing more restive and demanding the dissolution of the Chamber with greater urgency; that 10,000 Southern Albanians have assembled at Fiera to put forward similar demands, and that over 150 committee officers met near Salonika to demand the punishment of the Monastir and Djakova mutineers and the political canonization of Hairi Bey, who was recently executed by the Albanians at Tchernoleva."
