ENROLMENT OF PIG In WILD.
WOOD HIGH SCHOOL

The total enrolment of the Wild
wood High School to date this year
is ZIG. Last year the total number on
roll was 179. Every year there are
a number of pupils who enter late.
There are also a number who enter in
March and April. If the usual GUS
tom is followed this season the total
should reach 240. All signs point to
an enrolment in the high school next
year of 800. Wildwood now has the
largest high school in Cape May
County. In a few years if the present
growth continues Wildwood will have
the largest in South Jersey, outside of
Atlantic City.
A dollar invested in the Journal will
bring you all the news of Five Mile

- Minor the representatives of Amer

commissioner at Constantinople, and
George Horton, consul general at
Smyrna, have been chiefly concerned
in the rescue of their nationals and
the relief of the refugees. In this
task they have been notably success
full, and Mr.. Horton bears witness to
the bravery and unselfsh devotion Of
the members of the American colony

triotic always, are rather o toward
fresh military operations as has been
said. little or no help can be expect
ed from other allied nations, n
Japan, according to a foreign office OIL
cial in Tokyo, will stand absolutely
aloof.
The British government believes Its
forces could successfully defend Con-
stantinople and the straits without
help, and perhaps they could. But 1t
may be the Turkish offensive will not
be confined to that region There are
reports which are more than rumors
that the Nationalist are moving on
Irak, part of the British mandate in
Mesopotamia, which Is ruled nOmi-
nally by Emir Feisaf. Uprisings In
that region are said to be becoming
general, and the word came from an
Anatolian news agency that the Brit
ish garrisons had been worsted in sew
eral encounters with tribeSmen and
that Mosul was about to be evacu-
ated. 1t is not unlikely that these
reports are exaggerated, but the dan
ger there is real, and is but a part of
the threat of a holy war against
Christendom. The trend toward this
is especially strong in India, where i'm
mense throngs of Moslems gathered to
rejoice over the victory of Renal
Pasha. In Calcutta speakers bitterly
denounced the British policy in the
Near East and asserted that seven mil
lion Moslems in India are being
angered to the point of rising en masse
to fight against the British for their
legitimate aspirations. The central
Khalifat committee of India sent a
cablegram to London saying:
by their support Of the Greek mill
tary adventure the British government
has broken faith with India and the
Moslem world. If England goes to war
with Turkey now she will eve be
able to regain her prestige IN india"
