New York Times 100 years ago today, July 6, 1913:
Semi-Official Statement Suggests Army Can Hardly Be Restrained.
CONSTANTINOPLE, July 5.— A semiofficial statement says that the Government desires to maintain neutrality, but adds significantly that the conflict between the Balkan allies has aroused excitement in the Turkish Army, "which it will be difficult for the Government to check if Turkey does not obtain just and equitable recognition of her rights."
The opinion is general in influential Turkish quarters that Turkey should take prompt advantage of the present splendid opportunity to recover some of her lost territory.
VIENNA, July 5.— It is announced here from an unofficial source that Turkey has agreed to remain neutral in the Balkan conflict in return for the concession made by Bulgaria in connection with the war indemnity.
