1t was stated yesterday that the

by Prof Pau! Rohrbach, who, the

Frederick the Great was the con-
uucror in the seven years war al
though he failed to gain Il square

only by stIaining every nerve. His
victory consisted in the fact that he
compelled the enemy 10 recognize
F,usSian power, with all its logical
consequences for the altered situa-
ton in Europe. Prof. Rohrbach con-
siders that Germany might likewise
regard herself victorious if, at the
end OF Tic struggle, her combined
enemies were obliged to dea!st in
their intention to destroy her mill

EASTERN CRIDIRON CLOSES TODAY Army-Nayy Game Promises to be Hard Fought Battle
 Betting Favors Cadets, 5 to 4EPresident Wilson Will
 Attend the Contest.

New York. Nov. 26.-The football elevens of the United States military and naval academies will close tho eastern gridiron season with their an nual contest here tomorrow afternoon. Indications point to hard-fought game 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 tactics.
 Enthusiasm Not Checked,
 The possibility of unpleasant weath- CT has failed to check the enthusiasm of the thousands of Army and Navy officers, government officials, midship- for the contest. A majority of the leading hotels are filled tonight with the representatives of the two branch es of the service, but the main con, tingent of out of town spectators will follow the example of President Will son and arrive here tomorrow in time for luncheon before going to the game
 President Wilson Will Occupy Box.
 The nations executive, who will be accompanied by a large party, will occupy special box on the Navy side of the field for. the first half of the game, crossing tSle gridffon to the Army section for the final two periods. The president will thus lend his presence and support to both acada- mics.
 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 A. but is the teams line up on a water soaked field the soldiers may

CHARGED SENDING OBSCENE
 MATTER THROUGH MAIL.
Thomas E. Watson, Once the PopuIist
 Nominee For President.

Augusta Ga. Nov. 26.-Thomas P.
 Watson, once the populist niminee for
 president, was placed on trial in fed eral court here today. charged with sending obscene matter through the mails in periodicals, published at Thomson, Ga of which he is editor Selection of a jury was completed and the first witness was on hand when court adjourned until tomorrow The matter complained of occurred In series of articles attacking <ne Roman Catholic church. Watson
 who as a member of the Georgia bar acted as his own chief counsel. demur-
 red to the indictment when the case
 was called but was overruled.
 About fifty men were examined be-
 fore the jury was completed In out
 lining the governments case, United States District Attorney Donaldson as- serted it was only necessary that to prove that Watson was responsible for mailing the matter objected to and
 1t was obscene a: charged in the in- dictment. The matter referred to. he said, was so obscene vile and other
 wise 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 fighting, as he had been flor seven years the fight that Luther, John Knox and others made against the Roman Catholic Church.

hides and leather, wine. dried fruits, raisins, tobacco, drugs, and dyestuffs. In mineral wealth, too, their land is rich Gold. silver, copper. and iron are present in stores, but the Turkish government has never allowed their exploitation.
 Armenian civilization is not a brief one, dating back to Mayfiower or even Norman Conquest Miss Jenkins says but one that is almost coterminous with recorded history; and every Armenian feels behind him the vast antiquity, giving him personal dignity and great national pride. They begin their history with the Garden of Eden, which they claim was in Armenia, bas- ing the claim on the naive statement that the land is beautiful enough to have included Paradise. Their first recorded ancestors they find in the book of Genesis. Their church differs from the Greek church very little in creed, but unlike the Greeks the Ar menians are not theologically inclined have always been however. devotedly trinitarian.
 The Armenian church has been per- secuted not only by Mosiem and Fire worshipper but also by Roman and Greek; yet it is one of the beautiful characteristics of this ancient church that it never persecutes in its turn. It fellowships with all churches. holding 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 resemblance to the He brew, definitely eastern, swarthy, heavy haired black eyed. with aqui- line features. and summing up in a much more oriental type than Turk, Slav, or Greek. The fates of these two peoples, also, has much in com mon. Both developed a remarkable strength of nationality and wonderful persistence of type and a strong CO., hesiveness out of their generations of oppression and persecution. Both are gifted with keen business instincts, with a talent for languages, and with unusual power for concentration. The best known Armenian towns are F'rZe- roum; Kharput, little town 1850 feet above the sea; Bitlis, not far from Van, Van itself. on the beautiful blue lake of the same name; Diarbekir; 1 Marash, near stately Mt Tarsus; Tar

THE ARMENIAN IN
 HIS NATIVE LAND
The Ancient Kingdom Included 500, o,ooo Square Miles of Fertile TabIeIand.
Especial 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 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.
 Armenia is not easy to bound at any period of history" the writer be- 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- liberated. Armenia now is not 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 soils, which produce grapes, wheat, Indian corn, barley, oats. cot ton, rice. tobacco, and sugar. Besides these, all the vegetables that we know in America are grown there, together with such fruit sorts as quinces, april cots, nectarines, peaches, apples, pears and plums. Two melons in this coun- try are said to be a camel's load. Ar menia's exports are silk and cotton,

BIG THREE WILL DISCUSS
 ELIGIBILITY RULES
A Meeting Will Be Held on December .s and 4 in New York. .-

New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 26.-Pro- lessor 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 att 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 whole matter of professionalism or semi-pro- fessionalism must be more clearly de- fined. Likewise, rules and definitions must be established which shall elim- mate from sport practices and per formers which have no place in col lege activities"
 The approaching meetings will be in a certain sense the continuation of negotiations between the universities begun last June. It was found at that time that there was a wide divergence, both in the wording 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.
