SEcRETARY OF WAR BEGINS THE
WORK OF SELECTING THE
MEN WHO WILL WEAR
UNCLE SANS UNIFORM.
TAKES WHOLE DAY AND NIGHT
altogether 10000 Numbers Were
Drawn From Big Fish Bowl Used
for the Occasion-ProbabIy
None After the First 1000
I Will Be Called on for
Service, at Least at
This Time.

Washington, July 21.-The draft for
the national army is completed The
great task of determining the order in
which the registrantS should be called
up for examination was begun at 8 AS
O'Clock Friday morning when No. 25S
was drawn, and was kept up continu-
ously until early Saturday morning,
when the last number came out of the
bowl. In all 10000 numbers We're
drawn, but it is not likely that men
holding numbers drawn after the first
1000 will be summoned before the
boards for service in the first army.
According to the officials in charge
the first 1000 numbers drawn repre-
scented more than a million men.
The draft was invested with all the
dignity and solemnity becoming so i'm
portant an event, and WAS witnessed
by distinguished company. The first
!, eight numbers were drawn respective
ty by Secretary of War Baker, Senator
Chamberlain Of the senate military
committee, Congressman Dent of the
house military committee, Senator
Warren and Representative Kahn,
ranking minority members of the SEN
ate and house military committees;
Maj. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, acting
chief of staff of the army; Maj. Gen.
Enoch Crowder, provost marshal of
the army; and Major General Mccain,
hdjutant general of the army. After
the first eight numbers had been drawn
the regular tellers took hold, and
worked through until the long task
was completed.
In only small number of the larg-
est districts will the numbers above
Few thousand affect registrants. Of
the 1857 registration districts
throughout the country the largest has
something over 10000 numbers, while
the smallest has only about 1S5, and
the average is, about 1900. AS the
drawing proceeded, 157 numbers were
Withdrawn before one low enough to
affect the smallest district came out.
1t was 126, placing 1867 men number
ed 126 on their local lists as 18th in
order of liability.
The following list shows the num-
bers in the order in which they were
drawn. The first number in each case
represents the order in which the Sec
end, or red-ink registry, number was
taken from the bowl. Four numbers
are given in each line, beginning with
the first number, which was drawn by
Secretary Baker. ,,,.~s.,
