Prepare For Naval Battle.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 24, 1912:
Turkish Battleships to Refit to Meet Greek Warships.
    LONDON, Oct. 23.— A message from Constantinople says the Turkish fleet has left a torpedo boat flotilla to carry out the blockade of the Bulgarian coast. The Turkish battleships, it says, are lying at the entrance to the Bosporus and it is expected they will return to Constantinople and refit, after which they will go out into the Mediterranean and engage the Greek fleet.
    The Greek naval forces are divided into three flotillas. One of these assisted in the landing of Greek troops at Katerina on the Gulf of Salonika. Another is holding Lemnos and a third is bombarding the Turkish port of Provesa.
