Today -100: October 2, 1912: Of Balkan wars and watermelons

Turkey mobilizes its army and reserves. Various Balkans countries are stopping freight and shipping to each other, and Turkey will seize all Greek ships in its waters.

The NYT says there won’t be a war in the Balkans because wars in the Balkans don’t happen in October. So that’s okay then.

Headline of the Day -100: “Wilson Gets a Watermelon.”
