Faculty Returning.

Clemson College. Sept. 10.-The
continued popularity of Clemson
College and the growing demand for
the work this institution Is doing are
shown clearly by the large number
OF students applying for entrance.
Registrar j. G. Littlejohn has receiv-
ed more than 1000 applications, and
still they come. About $50 will be
accepted as usual.

bic that so many old students return
every year. Between 81 and 95 per
cent Of the students of last session
Will return, that is, Of the three
lower classes. A few of the gradu-
ates will return for post graduate
work. Many Of the men applying
for entrance to the freshman class
are Is and 20 years old. The aver
age OF the student body last year was
10 1/3. Indications are that it will
be higher this session.
Many brothers Of old students are
entering this fall. Last year there
were 220 students in college who
had 313 brothers here, 121 Of whom
had graduated. This fact shows
what hold Clemson gets on its stu
dents. Sons of the early graduates
and old students are beginning to
enter Clemson now also. In few
more years many an old Clemson
man will be coming back to see his
son graduate.
All old students will return to the

August, 1917, Maybe.

London, Sept. 10.-Gen. Brussil-
off, in an interview with the cores
pondent Of the Daily Chronicle at the
Russian front, predicts the end of the
war by August next.
"The Austro-Hungarian army, as
sailed from all sides," he said,
won't be able to stand much longer
before the horde Of enemies who are
hurting themselves against it and
preparing to increase the vigor Of
their blows. The Intervention of
Roumania is an event Of tho first or
der. | am no prophet; the future
is in Gods hands. But If had to
make hypothesis, l should be in
clined to think that the month of
August, 1917. might see the end of
our memorable work"

ers, etc.. will arrive on September
