will number the men registered there
and send the numbered cards to the
adjutant general OF the state in which

ton for each state-so each state may
be called upon for Its quota and ono
state may not be forced to supply
more men proportionately than an
other. President Wilson will proclaim
the number of men each state must
supply. The President also will set
day for the selection.
The numbers drawn then will be
telegraphed from Washington to the
governors of the various states. They
will notify the adjutant general, who
holds the corresponding numbered
cards, and the adjutant general will
notify the local boards under whose
Jurisdiction the selected men are.
The onus Of determining whether
Or not he has been drawn lies with
he man himself. Plentiful provisions
have been made for letting each man
know whether or not he has been
drawn. Four copies of the registra-
ton list and the number he bears are
to be made public, one being placed
at the office of the local board and
another being made available for the
press.
When a man learns he has been
drawn. he is privileged to appear be-
fore the exemption board of his dis
trict and plead his case for exemption.
