greater the number be drawn from the less the chance
that any particular individual viii be drawn 1t is the
personal of every enrolled that the quota in
which he concerned shall be made large and that
bis own chances for DRIFT shall not be unjusty increased
both these objects viii be attained if all parties win aid in

portion the enrolment and the fairness and jnsness Of

Just and efficient execution Of the laws raising troops
