It will be two or three years before India can get as many even -vAnyi or men armed and equipped for the fight. In the mean tirr- she will keep pouring troops into Turkey from the East as fast as they can te trained and armed. It is estimated that Gen. Xixon now has at least S-'-O'O Indians at Basra.

P. Harding was greatly pleased with the vriart of the 1915-1916 school term of nine The work of Saturday did not require more than two hours as the pupils, assembling in their former rooms, werj promoted to the next, higher grades and transferred to their new rooms in the various school buildings as rapidly as possible, and Saturday afternoon was spent by many of the children in purchasing their new books at Ivey's and at Stone Barringer's.

The teachers yesterday morning supplied each pupil with a complete list of all books required in the grades to which pupils have been promoted, these lists having been carefully prepared from the official list of the entire book program for the eleven grades, and the lists were so arranged that there wrould be no lack of understanding or lack'' of system in making those changes in the schedules of books that were necessary. The lists given out by the today were printed on small cards, only tke books of the grade to which the pupil has been promoted being included in this list. Thus each of the several thousand pupils reporting will have a cdmplete understanding as to just what books will be needed. Many will use books that they had last year, where the same text-book extends over several years' school work, but all other books will be purchased by the pupils by Tuesday morning. Monday a Holiday.

September 6, being a legal holiday, the city schools will be closea on that date but will begin real work on Tuesday morning when each piipn will be expected to come prepared for regular' work for the new term. The handling of the preliminary work by the superintendent and teachers this year has been carried out with great, satisfaction and it is felt that the beginning of real work on Tuesday will take place without a single delay or any detaining circumstances to postpone the starting of the tasks of the new term. Monday will also be taken advantage of by hundreds of pupils to buy the new books required, and as practically every pupil will have to get from two to four new books, besides school supplies, writing material and paper, the day will be a busy one with the little folks and the pupils in the higher grades and in the high school. No Figures for a Week. "We did not endeavor to secure figures on the enrollment Saturday' said Superintendent Harding in his office in the city hall yesterday afternoon, "and we do not expect to have the figures complete until the latter part of the week, when all of the pupils will have been enrolled with a very few exceptions, as is practicaMy the case each year when a few pupils are unable to enroll during the hrst two or three days.

"However the outlook is very good and it appears now that the schools will be well filled, both white and colored, and that we will have a vory successful year's work." The pupils of the old Presbyterian College building were called to assemble at the South school yesterday, until all arrangements are completed for placing these in the proper rooms. Probably 8 or 10 additional rooms will.be in use -in the rehabilitated South school this term and the amber cf pupils will be greatly increased in that school compared with the enrollment in the South school for the past several years. The building has been put in the best shape possible by the building and grounds committee. Chairman W. R.

Matthews has devoted a good part of two months in superintending the making 6ver of the South school and has carried out abovt every plan that was available to add to the renewal of the building, including a complete coat of red paint on the exterior, the whitewashing of the interior, cleaning up of the grounds, cutting and trimming tre'ii, and the improvement pi the desks in the rooms. The schools which had their preliminary opening Saturday included the high school and Ninth street school on East Ninth, North Charlotte, Grove-ton, Third WTard, Wesley Heights, South school, Dilworth, Elizabeth and North Charlotte and the colored schools on Myers street, in Fair-view and other buildings. The great task of teaching between 5,000 and 6,000 pupils is now beginning and "all of the teachers have en tered into their work with enth-isiasm and interest and the board of school commissioners, superintendent, assistant, assistant superintendent and principals are all well pleased with the promising outlook that they now are facing.

The Union National has already announced that it will advance money at 6 per cent" on local warehouse receipts, and it is e'xpected that other financial institutions will also consider the question with the committee of the Mecklenburg Farmers' Union.
