Turks Flee Before Greeks.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 23, 1912:
    ATHENS, Oct. 22.— The Turkish army is fleeing in panic from Dissikata northward to the Turkish town of Servia, according to a semi-official statement issued here to-day. The Greek troops are said to be pursuing the Turks vigorously.
    When the Turks hastily abandoned the town of Elassena, it is said, they left behind them their Staff maps and 1,000,0000 cartridges. They also dropped in their retreat much clothing and most of their engineering implements.
    The total losses of the Greeks in the first day's engagement are given as one Captain, two Sub-Líeutenants. and nineteen men killed and seventy-five wounded.
    The Greek troops in Epirus have occupied the heights commanding Grimbovo and those of Xiro Vouni. The Turkish artillery constantly fires upon the heights of Grimbovo, but without material effect.
    Admiral Countouriotis issued a proclamation to the inhabitants announcing the occupation of the island by Greece.
