New York, Nov. 26.—The elevens of the United States military and naval academies will close tha eastern gridiron season with their an< nual contest here tomorrow afternoon. Indications point to a hard-fought same under poor weather conditions. Rain Would Benefit Army. The weather forecast calls for rain, accompanied by warm southerly winds Which, if eventuated, will cause the game to be played on a slow and slip- pery gridiron. - Such conditions . are thought to be advantageous to _ the army, with its heavier eleven and line plunging tactles. Enthusiasm Not Checked. The possibility of unpleasant weath- er has failed to check the enthusiasm of the thousands of Army and Navy officers, government officials, midship- men and cadets who are gathering here for the contest. A majority of the leading Lotels are filled -tonight with tie representatives of the twé branch- es of the service, but the main con- tingent of out of town spectators will follow the éxample of President Wil son and arrive here tomorrow in:time for luncheon before going to the game. Predident Wilson Will Occupy Box. ‘The nation’s executive, who will be accompanied by a large party, will occupy a special box on the Navy side of the field for the first half of the game, crossing ‘i gridffon to the Army section for the final two periods. The president will thus lend his presence and support to both acada- mies. Betting Favors Cadets, 5 to 4. The general adherents of the two teams have not shown the same neu- tral attitude and as a result . there has been considerable wagering. Early betting favored the cadets at odds of 5 to 4, but i3 the teams line up on a water-soaked fleld the soldiers may football be quoted at 10 to 7 or possibly 5 to 3. Both Teams Practiced on Polo et Grounds. Both the West Point and Annapolis squads visited the Polo grounds at separate hours today for secret prac- tice and signal drills. During the early even they re- mained in seclusion in their respec- tive hotels, where & final talk of the coaches preceded the nine o'clock or- der of “all lights out.” The coaches said there would be no changes in the announced lineup unless unforeseen circumstsnces developed. All the men selected to open the mach are report- ed to be in fine physical condition and on edge for a hard, fast contest. The Probable Lineup.

Favorable Railway Earnings Contrib- uted Toward the Improvement. New York, Nov. 26.—Speculative sentiment appeared to undergo a change for the better over the holiday and a moderate increase of activity resulted in the rorenoon, With higher prices for many issues. Further fa- vorable railway earnings contributed measurably toward this improvement, even, though that particular class of securities was relatively backward and heavy in the day's operations. Gains in some of the high priced specialties were sensationally large, General Motors advancing 23 to 449, a new maximum. Other stocks that broke all previous high records were Cuban- American Sugar on its rise of 9 3-4 to 156 3-4, and American Can preferred, which rose 1 to 112. South Porto Rico Sugar rose 9 to 144, Continental Can 5 to 94 1-2, and Sears Roebuck 10 1-2 to 172. Many of these advances were largély cancelled in the general reces- sions of the final hour. American Can common was the most active stock of the session, gaining 3 8t 64 5-8. Among the war issues and other stocks coming more or less di- rectly within that designation ad- vances of 1 to 3 points ‘were registered. Metal stocks were in demand at higher prices, led by ~American Smelting, which’ more than recovered its quar- terly dividend on its rise of 2 to 101 3-8. Smelting’s strength - bore some relation to the steady advance in the price of silver metal and other Gug- genheim stocks made further response to the approaching changes these properties. United States Steel rose a point to 88 1-8, within a fraction of its its best of recent years, but fell back in com- mon with the balance of the list later. There were again no transactions in! Bethlehem Steel, which has been in complete obscurity thus far this week. New Haven’s increased weakness—the stock fell 2 3-8 to 73 3-4—was a ge- straining influence on other rails, some of which were heavy, while others scored only nominal gains. Total sales amounted to 640,000 shares. Among the October railroad reports was that of Union Pacific, disclosing a net gain of $836,000, while’ Atchison in- creased only $135,000. Purchase of $60,000,000 Baltimore and Ohio refund- ing borids and the tentative sale of 100,000 shares of Atchison preferred to banking evndicates were announced, Sterling exchange relaxed a trifle, but greater strength was evinced in rates in Scandinavian centers. Local institutions are expected to show a cash loss in tomorrow’s bank states ment. Bonds were firm on moderate deal- ings, with a substantial advance in Missouri, Kansas and Texas refunding fours. Total sales of bonds, par value, eggregated $4,443,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. : STOCKS. Faska Gald Allts-Chalmers ctfs Allis-Chalmers pt ...0 Ag Chem .00 Ab. Af Chopr .

New Haven, Conn., Nov. 26—Pro- fessor Robert N. Corwin, chairman of the executive committee of the Yale Athletic association, announced to- night that a joint meeting between representatives of Harvard, Princeton and_Yale will be held ut the Yale club in New York on December 3 and 4 to discuss the question of athletic eli- gibility rules of the three universities. “Summer baseball is only one of the questions to be brought forward,” President Corwin says. “The whoie matter of professionalism or semi-pro- fessionalism must be more clearly de- fined. Likewise, rules and definitions must be estabiished which shall elim- inate from sport practices and per- formers which have no place in col- lege activities.” The approaching meetings will - be in a certain sense the culmination of negotiations between the universities begun last June. It was found at that time that ther> was a wide divergence, both in the wordinz of the rules on eligibility and their enforcement. Con- ferences were held this month by the deans of Harvard and Princeton with the Yale authorities, following the dis- qualification of Le Gore, the football and baseball star, and four other mem- bers of the Yale baseball team, includ- ing Captain Milburn, BATTALION OF CADETS WILL ATTEND GAME TODAY A Mee Will Go to the Metropolis at 9 in the Morning. West Point, N. Y., Nov. 26.—The post will be virtnally deserted tomor- row, all the buildinss being closed and all duties except the regular routine dispensed with. First Lieutenant E. F. Gruber, Fifth Field artillery, will be in command. The football team de- parted for New York early today and the battalion of cadets and followers of the Army eleven will go to the metropoiis at 9 o'clock in the morn- ing. A feeling of confidence in the soldier team’s ability to win from the Navy pervaded the Army camp. The battalion of cadets will return to the academy .tomorrow night, but the football men wili stay over in New York until Sunday. YALE HOLDS MOST 1915 TITLES.

Dr. Anna Howard Shaw's an- nouncement of her intention not to seek or accept re-election as president of the National American Woman Suffrage association brought forth mention of several prominent suffra- glsts, any one of whom may succeed Dr. Shaw. The association meets in Washington Dec. 14 to 19. Mrs. Stanley McCormick, treasurer of the association, is prominently mention- ed. Mrs. McCormick lives in Wash- ington, and it is the belief of many of the suffrage leaders that her presence St at the capital will mean much to the suffrage cause when the national amendment is introduced. Mrs. Des- ba Breckinridge of Lexington, Ky., first vice president of the associatio also is a candidate for the presidency. Mrs. Breckinridge has been a suf- frage leader in the south for several years. Mrs. Breckinridge is a great grand-daughter of Henry Clay.

They begin their history with the Garden of Eden, which they claim was in Armenia, bas- ing the claim on the that the land is beau have included Paradise. Their first recorded ancestors they find in _the | Dbook of Genesis. Their church differs | from the Greek church very little in | creed, but unlike the Greeks the Ar- menians are not theologically inclined and lay little stress on doctrine. They have always been however, devotedly | trinitarian. ‘The Armen:an church has been per- secuted not only by Mosiem and Fire- worshipper, but also by Roman and | Greek; vet it is one of the beautiful | characteristics of this ancient church #hat it never persecutes in its turn. It fellowships h all churches, holding | of | that Christianity means brotherhood through Jesus Christ and gives no warrant for oppression or anathema. “The appearance of this sorely_tried people,” the writer continues, “bears a remarkable resembiance to the He brew, castern, _swarthy, heav: d, with aqui- | line feat and summing up in a much more oriental type than Turk, Slav, or Greek.

Tarsus; Tar- sus and Adana, in the same district 81 Chilicia, and Marsovan. In all of towns the population is largely Chris- tian, partly Moslem, with enough arm- ed Kurds to terrify. Over the from- tier, within Russia Armenia lie Frivan and Etchmiadain, and Tiflis, which is largely Armenian. “The Armenian grievances are stated by Miss Jenkins as follows: “They may be divided into two class- es: those which arise from the delib- erate policy of the government, and those which arise from the weakness and ineffciency of the government. To the former class belong the massacres, the impoverishment of the peasantry. by taxation, and the immunity granted to the crime of Kurds against Chris- tians, together with the diearming of the latter and the supplying of rifiés to the former. To the second class belong disorders, utter fallure of jus- tice, wretched and unsafe transporta- tion and brigandage. In the courts of justice the word of an Armenian will not be taken, and the " Armenian peasant or trader hak to pursue his calling knowing that he cannot travel freely, recognizing that he will be so heavily taxed that he can scarcely make a living, and then when the struggles of the year are nearly over, perhaps the Kurds sweep down from the mouniains and seize his | home for their winter sheiter, take his crops, and even carry off his daugh- ters. ' No Armenian’s life, his prope: nor the honor of his women has been safe in Turkey for a century. Despite these grievances, however, Miss Jenkins tells that the Armenians were wild with enthusigsm and & touching faith that they were about to be given a fatherland by being allowed to take part in the upbullding of Young Turkey. “But” the writer conciudes, “they were destined to sharp disappointment; and now, in- finitely saddened they reluctantly have abandoned their hope of. frees dom throuzh the Turk, large numbers of them following their disappoint- ment emigrated to Russia and tQ America.” % Rio De Janeiro, MNov. 26.—The federal chamber has appointed a committee qf nine members to consider the question of the reorganization of the national defense.

The matter referred to. he sald, was so obscene, vile and other- wisc_improper that he was glad it did not devolve upon him to read it to the jury. Witnesses he said would have that “unpleasant task. Watson, outlining the defense, took the view that his purpose in publish- ing the articles should be taken into consideration. He declared his pur- |pose wos of the highest and that he was fizhting, as he had been “for seven years the fight that Luther, John Knox and others made against the Roman Catholic Church.” THE ARMENIAN IN HIS NATIVE LAND The Ancient Kingdom Included 500,000 Square Miles of Fe Tableland. (Special to The Bulletin.) Washington, D. C. Nov. 26—"“The Armenian in his native land, for res- idence in which he has suffered many centuries of most bitter persecution, is described in a bulletin just issued by the National Geographic Society, whose data is based upon a communi- cation to the Society from Hester Donaldson Jenkins, a longtime student of Near Eastern peoples. “ATmenia is not easy to bound at any period of history,” the writer by gins, “but, roughly, it is the table- land extending from the Caspian Sea nearly to the Mediterranean Sea. Its limits have become utterly fluid, the waves of conquering Persians _and Byzantines, Arabs, and Romans, Rus- sians and Turks have flowed and ebb- ed on its shores until all lines are ob- literated. Armenia now is mnot a state, ‘not even a geographic unity, but merely a term for the region where the Armenians live.” “The ancient kingdom of Armenia,” a writer mentions, “was larger than Greece and France combined, with five hundred square miles of fertile tableland, reaching from the Black Sea and the Caucasus Mountains to Persia and Syria. The land is fertile, rugged and beautiful, including endless acres of fine grazing land and excellent agri- cultural sofls, which produce grapes, wheat, Indlan corn, barley, oats, cot- ton, rice. tobacco, and sugar. Besides these, all the vezetables that we know in America are grown there, together with such fruit sorts as quinces, apri- cots, nectarines, peaches, apples, pears, Two melons in this coun- try are said to be a camel's load.
