7 SEPTEMBER 1912, Page 1

The massacre of Bulgars by regular Turkish troops at Kotchana

has been matched by the massacre of Serbs at Berane, near the Montenegrin frontier, on August 14th. An account in the Times of Wednesday says that though the Serbs of the Berane district have often been oppressed they have never before been attacked. The Nizams pro- fessed to be searching for arms, and massacred a good many persons. Twelve Christian villages were burnt. Many Serbs fled into Montenegro for protection. Pillaging continued for a week.
