Greeks Seize Turkish Town.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 24, 1912:
Servia Is Taken, and the Turks' Retreat Cut Off.
    ATHENS, Oct. 23.— The Greek Army defeated the Turkish troops this morning beyond Elassona after a vigorous attack. The Turks fled and the Greek force, following after, captured the town of Servia.
    The troops under Crown Prince Constantine also captured the bridge over the river Aliakmon (Indje Karasa), thereby cutting off the retreat of the Turks.
    Crown Prince Constantine, telegraphing from headquarters last night, reports:
    "Our troops are pursuing the enemy all along the line from Cambunnia to Servia and on the Aliakmon Plain. The Turkish army has been scattered. We have taken twenty-two field guns with their ammunition wagons and a large quantity of ammunition, and many transport wagons."
    Later Gen. Danglis sent a message, saying:
    "The Turks have lost heavily. We have made a number of prisoners, including one Lieutenant Colonel."
    Two battalions of Greek Evzones under Lieut. Col. Constanto Poulo attacked two battalions of Turks near Vlakholivadho, dispersing them.
