NO DRAWING YET
Expect To Begin Draft Lottery
Early Next Week.
False RumOr of Drawing Ema-
mated From Washington.

Washington. July 6-The last pre-
liminary of the draft began today.
From every section of the country
numbered registration lists were
reaching the provost marshal gem
erals office.
Posting of these numbers yesterday
caused a false report that the draft
was already in progress.
On the day after the last precinct
has sent it's numbered registration
cards to the state adjutant general
and to Washington. and has posted
and published the lists with the key
number of each man, the actual draw
ing will take place in Washington.
There are about 1900 precincts.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
is straining the resources of his or
ganization to start the draft drawing
during next week. Local boards were
ordered to complete their preliminary
work by tomorrow.
Explains False Report
General Crowder pointed out today
that false reports that draft mum bers
had already been drawn were founded
upon the action of the local boards
fixing key numbers to their lists.
Again General Crowder emphasizes
that every registered man in the ma
ton must make it his business to find
out his key number. The onus of
this task is placed squarely on the
registered man. He is instructed to
watch the posted list of names and
numbers and find out his own number
Newspapers are requested to print
the names and numbers whenever
possible.
Get Appeal Board Names
Nomination of members for the APP
pellate exemption boards for about
half the states was sent to Secretary
Of War Baker today. Because of the
heavy responsibility of these boards,
deciding occupational claims, the pres
ident and Baker will themselves de-
eide upon qualifications of members.
One of the methods of drawing
names OF drafted men, considered by
President Wilson's special advisory
beard, became known today.
BY this plan, as many numbers as
the highest serial number of the Iare-
est precinct in the nation would be
placed in receptacle and drawn at
random.
Every man in each of more than
4,oou precincts holding the number
drawn would be drafted.
Whatever method is adopted will he
open to the public.
May Draw Million Names
As there will be exemptions among
! the drafted before the first incre-
b ment OF 5000 men can actually be
assembled, necessarily more than that
number of names will be drawn on
the first operation. 1t is proba BILE
million names might be drawn and
from them exemptions will be made
Ihen the first army of 625, 900 men
will be formed. Other troops will be
drawn from the remainder until it is
decided to raise another increment.

Copenhagen, July 6.-The German
governments over-optimistic report
on the crop prospects which were de-
clared on June 25 to be really bril-
liant" was sharply criticised yester-
day by speakers in the reichstag ways
and means committee. They accuse
the government of giving the people
false view of the situation, arousing
unrealizable hopes. Prince Won
Schoenaich- Carolath, a national lib
eral, declared roundly that the Off

was impossible TO know what the
crop results would be.
