WASHINGTON, J .ly 19-The draft
lottery will almost certainly be held
tomorrow morning. The drawings
will be made in groups. A thousand
numbers will be drawn but these will
dispose of all the eligibles registered,
of whom there are approximately TO-
100000. The registrants are divided
into groups each controlled by key
numbers from zero to ten. Then men
to be called will be numbered in red
ink on the selective lists by the local
boards. Red numbers are assigned
by chance and Provost General Grow
der rules that drawings in sets of 1000
will work no hardships. The drawings
here will be divided into two parts
First will be drawn the key numbers
to determine in what order each sheet
in given thousand shall appear in
the master list. The second will be a
drawing of numbers from one to 1000
to determine the order inside each
group in which eligibles shall be call
ed The question to be determined by
the drawings is "whO shall be called
first for examination A list must
be made showing the order of exami-
nation. General CrOwder says that
he has no means of knowing how
many will have to be examined in or
der to secure the required 6S7, 900, so
he cannot tell how many it will be nee
essary to put on the examination list.
! So the 10,000,000 will be segregated
into 4557 groups. For each group an
examination hoard will do the select
ing. The loei1 board will then be in
formed of the number of men who
must be furnished. Each board will
then notify 200 per cent of the num-
Der of men it will have to furnish to
appear for examination and in so do
ing will call them in the order de-
termined by applying the master list
to the local list. The International
News Service will carry the draw
ings as fast as numbers are available
First the master numbers and then
the individual numbers will be given
who have cards in each master list
must report for examination
