New York Times 100 years ago today, April 8, 1913:
Remnant of Djavid Pasha's Army Evacuates Liousme.
BELGRADE, April 7.— The Servian forces, which have been searching for Djavid Pasha, formerly military commander at Uskub, who, with his army, was recently erroneously reported as having surrendered on the Skumbi River, Albania, encountered him at Liousme, where he had taken up a position. The remnant of his army consisted of eight battalions, with four field guns and three quick-firers, and a small detachment of cavalry.
After a desperate engagement the Turks retired. In Liousme, which the Servians occupied, they found 1,000 Turkish soldiers, 500 of whom were suffering from sickness or wounds.
