Washington, July 21.-The draft for
the national army is completed. The
great task Of determining the order in
which the reglstrants should be called
up for examination was begun at o AS
o'clock Friday morning when No. 25S
was drawn, and was kept up contlnu-
ously until early Saturday morning,
when the last number came out Of the
bowl. In all 10500 numbers were
drawn, but 1t is not likely that men
holding numbers drawn after the first
1000 will be summoned before the
boards for service In the first army.
According to the officials In charge,
the first 1000 numbers drawn repre-
tented more than million men.
The draft was invested with all the
dignity and solemnity becoming so I'M
portant an event, and was witnessed
by distinguished company. The first
eight numbers were drawn respective
ly by Secretary Of War Baker, Senator
Chamberlain Of the senate military
committee, Congressman Dent of the
house military committee, Senator
Warren and Representative Kahn.
ranking minority members of the SEN
ate and house military committees;
Maj. Gen. Tasker III. Bliss, acting
chief Of staff Of the army; Mai. Gen.
Enoch Crowder, provost marshal of
the army; and Major General Mccain,
adjutant general Of the army. After
the first eight numbers had been drawn
the regular tellers took hold, and
worked through until the long task
was completed.
In only small number of the larg-
est districts will the numbers above a
few thousand affect registrants. OF
the 4,557 registration districts
throughout the country the largest has
something over 10000 numbers, while
the smallest has only about 1856, and
the average is about 1900. AS the
drawing proceeded, 157 numbers were
withdrawn before one low enough to
affect the smallest district came out.
1t was 126, placing 4,557 men number
ed 126 on their local lists as 157th In
order Of liability.
The following list shows the num-
bers in the order in which they were
drawn. The first number in each case
represents the order In which the Sec
ond, or red-ink registry, number was
taken from the bowl. Four numbers
are given In each line, beginning with
the first number, which was drawn by
Secretary Baker.

THE FOOD BILL
PASSES SENATE
Sets Minimum Price Of Wheat
at Two Dollars
NOW GOES TO CONFERENCE
Three Members On Board OF Control
Prohibition Sections With
Purchase Provision
Retained.

Washington. - The Administration
Food Control bill, virtually rewritten
after fve weeks bitter contest was
passed by the Senate. 81 to 6. Con-
ferees from House and Senate will be-
gin work this week, and leaders are
hopeful the measure may be in the
Presidents hands In 10 days.
Three On Food Board.
As revamped, the bill gives the
President broad authority over foods,
feeds and fuels, the latter including
kerosene and gasoline; provides for
administration by food board OF three
members instead Of an individual; au-
thorizes Federal fixing Of coal prices,
reQuisitioning and operation OF mines
and authorizes a minimum guaranteed
price Of not less than So per bushel for
wheat at primary markets.
The Senate prohibition sections. pro-
hibiting manufacture Of distilled bever-
ages during the war and directing the
President to buy all distilled spirits In
bond, was substituted for the House
"bone-dry" provision and will be one
subject OF difficulty in conference.
Six Against Bill.
Senators voting against the bill
were:
France, Maryland; Hardwick, Geor-
gia; Penrose, Pennsylvania; Reed,
Missouri; Sherman, Illinois, and
Sutherland, West Virginia.
Scores of amendments were disposed
of, but the principal features were
the incorporation Of the amendment
authorizing the minimum wheat price
and another by Senator Pomerene
greatly broadening the Governments
power to handle the coal situation
The Government guarantee for wheat
would be payable at all principal in
terior primary markets until July ],
1919.
The Senate rejected, 46 to 83, an
amendment by Senator Norris to have
the Food Board instead Of Congress-
nX the minimum prices.
The Pomerene coal amendment, IN.
corporated by the overwhelming vote
o. 72 to IL, directs the President,
through the Federal Trade Commission
or other agency, to flx coal prices,
wholesale and retail, regulate the en-
tire industry and, II necessary, take
nyar and onarafe coal mines and fix
prices Of labor.
On a final vote the Senate refused,
60 to 20, to place the bills admins
tration in the hands of an individual.
Senators understood the Administra-
ton would endeavor to have the con-
ferees substitute the original House
provision for single administrator.
This will be another source OF con-
ference trouble.
Appropriation in the House bill of
$50, 100000 was left unchanged by
the Senate, which added an appropria-
ton OF $4,000. 900, however, for Fed
eral purchase and sale Of soda nitrates
for fertilizer.
Another important Senate addition
to the bill provides for a joint Con-
gressional committee to supervise war
expenditures. II was proposed by Sen.
ator Owen, Democrat, and incorpor.
ated by a vote OF 53 to 81, several
other Democrats voting with the solid
Republican membership.
