Battle Raging At Monastir.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 18, 1912:
Hundred Thousand Servians Are Facing Turkish Garrison of 45,000.
    LONDON, Monday, Nov. 18.— The Uskub correspondent of The Dally Mail telegraphs Saturday night at midnight, saying:
    "A battle is proceeding at Monastir. The Turks number 46,000, with 40 guns. The Servians number more than 100,000, with 200 guns, including síege guns and howitzers.
    "No attempt has been made to take the town itself by assault. It is intended to force the surrender by the aid of the artillery alone. The Turks occupy excellent positions around the town.
    "The Servians were obliged to advance across soft marshes and were exposed to the enemy's fire. They moved forward with their habitual courage, covered by a heavy fire from their own guns, and occupied a line running from Tchairlar, past Beranzi, an important position 400 feet high, to the hills of Tzrno, Oblakovo, and Gofeche.
    "It is said that all the Bulgarian troops have departed from Adrianople, the investment of which has been left solely to the Servians. The Bulgarians have gone to Tchatalja. No attempt is being made to storm the forts around Adrianople, the Servians being content merely to isolate the city."
