RAWLINGS FOR new ARMY BEGIN IN WASHINGTON TOMORROW
ery M OF the Ten Millions Registered
RESUME OF METHOD
BY WHICH MEN ARE
TO BE SELECTED

Washington, July 1s. = Just how
the drawing is to be conducted here,
tomorrow morning, to establish the
order of liability for appearance be-
fore local exemption boards of each
of the 100000 men registered for
war service was disclosed today for
the first time by the provost mar
shal generals office.
There will be two drawings, one
of numbers from to 1000, and an
other of from 0 to 10 from a So
called master key by which the
thousand numbers drawn will reach
every man in every district.
There are 4,557 exemption dis
tricts with an average of about
5000 registrants in each. The
largest has more than 10000 men
registered and the smallest only
about 1856. In each district each
registrant has been given a serial
number written upon his card in
red ink. b..
For districts with not more than
1000 resistrants the drawing of
1000 numbers will fix definitely the
place upon each districts list the
name of each man. Where dis
triet has more than 1000 the master
key will have to be applied thus;
The key will fix the order in
which each group of thousands is
to be placed on the liability list.
which will run from number to
more than 10000. For instance, If
nine should be tho first number
drawn for the key, all registration
numbers in the 1000 group would
go in block at the head of the list,
arranged in the order in which the
number to 1000 come out in the
second drawing. Districts of less
than 5000 registrants, therefore,
would disregard this first block en-
tirely and would be affected only
by the position of the key numbers
of the block corresponding with the
number of thousands of reeistrants
they have.
Out of the 10000 900 registered
587, 900 are wanted now for the wal
army. As il is estimated that 81
per cent of the mon called before
the boards will be exempted, each
board will be directed to draw
double the number Of its quota for
examination in the order their
numbers appear on the district list
after the drawing.
