New York Times 100 years ago today, November 12, 1912:
Sends a Message to Princess Sophie, His Sister, About Salonika.
ATHENS, Nov. 11.— The German Emperor has sent a letter to his sister, Princess Sophie, wife of Crown Prince Constantine, conveying his congratulations on the capture of Salonika.
"The Princess, accompanied by Premier Venizelos, and the foreign Military Attachés, whom the Crown Prince invited to join the army of occupation, left for Salonika to-day.
The Crown Prince has requested the detachments which landed from the foreign warships at Salonika to re-embark, as the Greek troops will now maintain order.
A Greek destroyer has brought to Piraeus the German steamer Tenedos, which is suspected of having Turkish soldiers hidden aboard.
No word comes from the army operating against Monastir, but Arta reports that the Greeks have occupied the fortress of Pentepigedia and surrounding positions. The Turks have retired to the hills, but are keeping up a desultory fire.
