Greeks Occupy Dissikata.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 22, 1912:
    ATHENS, Oct. 21.— The Greeks by a flank movement to-day occupied the Turkish trenches at Dissikata with trifling losses. The Turks stubbornly resisted, but eventually retired to the town or Servia, twenty miles to the northeast.
    The Aegean squadron, under command of Admiral Countouriotis, arrived yesterday at Kastro, capital of the island of Lemnos, and demanded that the authorities surrender. The squadron to-day anchored at Port Mydros and landed troops, which advanced to occupy the town.
    Admiral Countouriotis has proclaimed a blockade of all the ports of Lemnos. A blockade is also effective on the coast of Epirus.
    King George of Greece has received telegraphic replies from his three sovereign allies to a message informing them that the Greek Army had crossed the frontier. King Ferdinand of Bulgaria said:
    Filled with a sentiment of sublime, reciprocal, and mutual confidence, our peoples, brothers in the faith, unite in a sacred agreement and ask the Almighty Defender of the rights of the weak and protector of the oppressed to grant the fervent prayers that ascend to His Throne from the four allied nations to the God of Battles to crown with success the joint efforts of our arms for the triumph of the doubly righteous cause of faith and liberty.
    King Nicholas of Montenegro telegraphed:
    Our cordial greetings and most sincere wishes for the victory of the worthy descendants of Themistocles and Miltiades. May God bless our efforts for our sacred cause.
    King Peter of Servia sent the following message:
    Trusting in God that the forces of the Balkan States, united in religion and led by the traditional sentiment of their peoples, will triumph in their generous work, I hail with confidence the commencement of our joint action and wish complete success for the valiant Greek army.
    The Bank of Athens has taken advantage of the suspension law passed by the Chamber of Deputies, permitting banks to suspend payment after due notice during the war.
    The bank has many branches in the Turkish Empire. None of the other banks in Greece is exercising the privilege granted by Parliament.
