the stage for the drawing that will
sift out Americas new armies from
the millions on the rolls Of honor.
AS yet the exact method Of draw
ing the names of the first levy from
more than nine million on the regis
tration rolls is unsettled. To hit
upon an absolutely fair and impair.
tial system which WILL be invulnerable
to political or any other kind of tam
pering is one of the knottiest prob.
lens President Wilson's advisory
board has encountered.
Already it is practically decided
that the so-called Jury wheel system
is impractical.
The board has considered dozen
schemes to single out the number OF
men needed, but most of them, how
ever, lack some essential or are not
politics proof" and are discarded.
Among the schemes tested and
considered by the board was one by
which the registration cards were
assigned numbers to correspond with
marbles in a basket. On certain
day the drawings were to be held
simultaneously in the cities or coun-
ties.
Whatever plan the board rests
upon is to combine the elements of
speed, fairness and publicity. AS
soon as tentative scheme is decided
upon, the plan will be laid before
President Wilson.
The war department is anxious to
get the lottery ready so the men for
the first levy can be selected and
rushed into camps for training.
