New York Times 100 years ago today, November 16, 1912:
Greeks Leave Salonika to Join the Servians, Surrounding the City.
ATHENS, Nov. 15.— The Greek army, commanded by Crown Prince Constantine, left Salonika to-day and is proceeding to Monastir. The Servian troops have succeeded in practically surrounding that city, where it is believed a large Turkish army is concentrated. Twelve thousand men of the Bulgarian army, which recently reached Salonika after the city had surrendered to the Greeks, left there to-day. There are only 6,000 Bulgarian troops remaining in Salonika.
Greek forces occupied to-day the Turkish peninsula of Mount Athos, below Salonika, according to a wireless dispatch from the commander of the Greek fleet in the Aegean Sea.
The British steamer Annetta, which was reported captured while conveying war stores from Philadelphia to Albania, was, it is learned, on the way here with ammunition for the Greek War Department.
