May Quarrel Over Monastir.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 20, 1912:
Allies Did Not Decide Which State Was to Have the City.
    LONDON, Wednesday, Nov. 20.— A Belgrade dispatch to The Standard says that in the three days' fighting at Monastir the losses were 20,000, of which number 5,000 were Turks.
    The war spoils were enormous and are estimated to be worth $10,000,000. They include 100,000 rifles of the latest pattern, eighty-two wagons of ammunition, and sixteen heavy guns. The lack of artillery, most of which was lost on the retreat from Kumanova, greatly handicapped the Turkish resistance.
    King Peter, says the dispatch, may make a triumphal entry into Monastir, as the Servians wish to emphasize their occupation.
    The question as to which State was to possess that city was not included in the allies' convention. Bulgaria may claim it because it is situated predominantly in the Bulgarian district. The Greeks point out that the leading part of the population is of Greek nationality. Crown Prince Constantine, with the Greek Army, will enter the town.
    A dispatch to The Daily Express from Belgrade says the capture of Monastir has provided a difficult problem for the Servian Government, which is puzzled about housing and feeding the 40,000 prisoners.
    "Fethi Pasha, who was among those that surrendered," continues the correspondent, "was Turkey's popular Minister at Belgrade. He wept as he handed his sword to the Servian commander. Luxurious apartments await him when he is brought to Belgrade."
