ten STATES TO
Be HEARD FROM
Drawing of Army May Be
Begun Friday or Sat-
urday
NV Associated Press.l

Washington, July 17.--With only
ten states remaining to be heard from
on the organization of local exemption
boards and with the serial number
lists of registrants from all but six
hundred forty-nine of the 1859
exemption districts on file in Wash
ington, Provost Marshal General
Crowder was hopeful today that the
preliminary stages of the war army
drawing would be completed within
forty-eight hours. He prepared to
take up with Secretary Baker later
in the day, details Of the lottery proc
ess for final approval. If there is
no unexpected delay it SENS likely
that the drawing can be held Friday
or Saturday. A single district which
fails to finish its preliminary work
on time, however, can hold up action
indefinitely.
Once spast drawing stage Gen
eral Crowder pointed out today the
necessity for concerted action by the
states ceases and the examination
of registrants and their assignment
to the army or exeraption can pro-
ceed in any state without regard to
progress made in any other COM
munity.

Bismarck, N. D., July 17.-Omcial
advices from Washington today show
that North Dakota's gross draft
quota, as based upon new population
estimates of 706.992. is 7.724. From
the gross numbers are deducted 279
North Dakota men in federal service
since April 2, 1,4SS national guard en-
listments to June 80 and 353 federal
enlistments to June 80. This gives a
total of 2.11S credits to which the
state is entitled, classes A, B and G.
This leaves North Dakotas net
quota. 5,606 men. to be drawn from
the states net registration total of
64,459. Out of every lib men regis
tered, one eligible must be found for
selective service.
The proportion of the draft to the
whole population is approximately
eight in one thousand, and county
quotas will be largely based on such
percentage, varying only as to
credits for enlistments and exemp-
tions in each county. IL was said.
BY order of the provost marshal
general, each county exemption board
must mail to the adjutant generals
office another copy giving the draft
numbers assigned in serial order.
This will enable the adjutant gem
erals Office to promptly check of
each name as the number is drawn at
Washington.

Pembina Last In.
Pembina county's registration
cards, which were mailed last FRI
day and received yesterday, COM
pleted the second step preliminary to
the drafting of North Dakota's Sec
tion of the select service army.
The county registration boards
have performed two important tasks
the registration of all the eligibles
within their jurisdiction and the
proper numbering of the registration
cards and listing of each registrant.
The Next Step.
The next step will be taken in the
adjutant generals office when
Charles Lesissman, in charge of this
detail, undertakes the important task
of figuring out each county's quota.
Blanks for this purpose were mailed
from Washington last week, and
should reach the adjutant generals
Office today or tomorrow. Upon their
receipt, the department will have
exact information as to the states
quota, and then will proceed TO ap-
portion this quota among the SO
counties. In doing this, note must be
made of all the credits and known
exemptions to which each county is
entitled.
Mail BY the Bale.
Bags and bags of mail matter are
accommodating at the adJutant gen.
erals office more rapidly than 1t can
be forwarded to the various county
boards. There are bulletins, PAM
phlets, reports, forms and circulars
galore. Some are designed for use
here; others go direct to the regis
trants themselves; a majority Of the
printed matter is for the county and
state exemption boards.
This literature tells all that any
one can ever hope to know about the
machinery used in making the selec-
tive draft.
