New York Times 100 years ago today, October 25, 1912:
RIEKA, Montenegro, Oct. 24.— The Montenegrin troops, advancing in a southeasterly direction, reached, a point about 8 1/2 miles from the Turkish town of Scutari yesterday afternoon. Military operations have been greatly interfered with by rain during the last two days.
King Nicholas, whose headquarters had been established here provisionally, crossed Lake Scutari yesterday and joined the troops at the Malissori village of Skla, where he met his three sons, with whom he held a council of war. The outcome of this was that Prince Mirko was appointed commander of the Montenegrin brigade which distinguished itself at Detchich and Tushi.
