This is not from a newspaper but the mini series The First World War
In part 4 The First World War: Part 4: Jihad (1914 to 1916) they mention the Macedonians as one of the ethnic groups that made up the Turkish army. No Greek or Bulgar in sight, you would think that Solun would be full of them.

imposed a personal or land tax on the
entire population of the empire over the
age of 18. The tax Is only for the classes,
and ranges from about 80 cents to $85
each annually. This Is regarded as being
in the nature of a provision for war.
The Porte has sent a memorandum to
the Austrian and Russian Ambassadors
here, pointing out that at the recent mass
meeting of Macedonians In Sofia, Bulgaria,
it was decided to send fresh bands
into Macedonia, and also calling attention
to the fact that committees in Bulgaria
were supplying the insurgents with
arms and ammunition by means of ships,
which land their cargoes on the coast in
the vicinity of Iniada.

Consular dispatches from Pristina, near
the Servian frontier, confirm the reports
that nearly all the Christian villages In
the districts of Dibra, 51 miles from
Monastlr, and Ciccvo have been pillaged
and burned, and that the Inhabitants have
fled. It is not stated whether Albanians

general situation, optimism prevails in
Turkish official circles.
Official reports say that 200 insurgents
were killed or wounded during the fight
ing which occurred last week in the
Vilayet of Monastlr.

I haven't spent too much time trying to figure out what this source really is. All I know is that it is from 1920, and Volume 4 of a Scrapbook. In it, it lists Macedonia as a separate country, even though we know Macedonia was not independent during WW1.

"He is a Harvard, 1914, man and in December of that year he entered war service in the Ambulance Corps, with which he was in Macedonia, Serbia, and Greece."

This one from 1903:

It is better that Macedonia should remain Turkish...than that it should be all Bulgarian, or all Servian, or all Greek.
