Bulair Reported Taken.

New York Times 100 years ago today, February 15, 1913:
But Confirmation of Chronicle's Dispatch Lacking — Turks Demoralized.
    LONDON, Saturday, Feb. 15.— An uncensored Constantinople dispatch to The Daily Chronicle reports that the Bulair line of fortifications was captured by the allies on Tuesday.
    According to this account, the Turkish fleet, operating from the Dardanelles, was assisting to repel the Bulgarian attack. The Bulgarians made a feint to retreat, and were followed by the Turks. The Turkish warships, not realizing the situation, continued their bombardment and inflicted heavy losses upon their own men.
    The Greek fleet in the Gulf of Saros supported the Bulgarians, who resumed and drove home their attack, and thereby captured the forts.
    Thirteen thousand Greeks landed on the Aegean Coast at Aivajih on Monday. The Turkish position is considered precarious all along the line.
    The report of the capture of Bulair has not been confirmed by other sources. A Dardanelles dispatch to The Daily Mail, dated Tuesday, describes a similar Bulgarian ruse as having occurred on the previous Friday, with the result that the Bulgarian batteries on the slopes of Kurudagh opened a terrific shrapnel fire. The Turks fled back to the shelter of the Bulair entrenchments, with a loss of 3,000 killed and wounded.
