New York Times 100 years ago today, December 10, 1912:
Salonika Consuls Said to Have Reported Atrocities to Governments.
LONDON, Tuesday, Dec. 10.— "Detailed accounts have been wired to their respective Governments by the German, French, English, and Italian Consuls of inhuman massacres of unarmed Moslems by the Balkan Christian soldiers in the environs of Salonika," ways the Vienna correspondent of The Daily Telegraph, who describes the horrors as "the most appalling of any known to history."
The massacres, he avers, were accompanied by indescribable tortures and indignities.
An undated Salonika dispatch says that official reports of the atrocities committed by Bulgarian irregulars make terrible reading. It is alleged that a party of 500 Mohammedans were shot down. Greek soldiers with difficulty managed to rescue the women and children.
