New York Times 100 years ago today, December 2, 1912:
Bulgar Irregulars Have Been Guilty of Terrible Atrocities.
LONDON, Monday, Dec. 2.— A Salonika dispatch to The Times says:
"Macedonia is being drenched with blood as the result of the atrocities committed by Bulgarian irregulars. It is lamentable that responsibility for so many atrocities lies at the doors of a Christian race.
"The Bulgars, needing the regulars in Thrace, practically left Macedonia in care of the irregulars. Besides the massacres already reported at Kavala and Serres, there has been an enormous amount of killing in the district of Avethissar, where scarcely a single Moslem has been left alive.
"Mohammedan bands are adding their quota to the general destruction. Whole villages have been depopulated as the result of their savagery. Turco-Albanian bands are also taking part."
