New York Times 100 years ago today, September 10, 1912:

Special Cable to The New York Times.
PARIS, Tuesday, Sept. 10.— The Matin announces this morning that the French Government has decided to concentrate practically the entire navy in the Mediterranean. The third squadron, now stationed in northern waters, including six battleships, will be transferred to Toulon, where the Commander in Chief will have sixteen battleships, including six dreadnoughts, under his command, as well as six armored cruisers. The change will be made in the middle of October, when grand manoeuvres will be held near Gibraltar.
