New York Times 100 years ago today, April 12, 1913:
Bulgaria Favored by Some Powers, Greece by Others.
VIENNA, April 11.—Germany, Austria, and Italy, according to The Neue Freie Presse, want Salonika to be given to Bulgaria as compensation for the cession of Silistria and a strip of Bulgarian territory to Rumania.
Russia and France, on the other hand, think Greece should have Salonika, while England appears to favor the view of the Triple Alliance.
It was announced a few days ago that Greece had transferred a division of her army from the Province of Epirus to Salonika.
LONDON, April 11.—Bulgaria is making formal claims to the possession of Salonika, now occupied by the Greek troops, according to an exchange telegraph company's dispatch from Belgrade. The dispatch adds that Bulgaria is taking military measures to support her claims. On the other hand Greece is concentrating her army along the railway leading to Salonika.
CETTINJE, April 11.— The Servian troops, who nave been assisting the Montenegrin Army in the siege of Scutari, are withdrawing and marching back toward Servia.
A peculiar story is published in The Official Gazette here stating that the heavy Montenegrin losses sustained during the recent assault on the Tarakoseh forts were due to the Servian artillery continuing to fire while the allied troops were storming the works. It is said the Servian commander forgot to give the order to cease firing.
BELGRADE, April 11.— The Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Servia have declared a general boycott of Austro-Hungarian goods. The banks here have decided to cancel the credits of merchants dealing In Austrian merchandise unless Austria promptly abandons her hostile attitude toward Servia.
