Here is How
Draft Drawing
Will Work Out

Information from Washington so
far available indicates that the
draft drawing will work out in this
way:
There are 1850 exemption dis
tricts. When the first number is
drawn-say number 10. it will be
recorded as number one. with the
seriols number GO) following. The
record would show that the men
whose cards bear the serial mum
Der 10 in each of 1850 exemption
districts would be first TO appear
before the exemption boards Pre-
sumably the announcement made at
the drawing would be number one,
serial number 10.
Ii is assumed that when the draw
ing is complete the government viii
compute how many men are repre-
sented by number one in the draw
ing and by the numbers immediate
~ succeeding and then issue an Or
der for enough to report to make
the total desired for the first army.
Fer instance, the first call might be
for numbers one 10 one hundred in
all districts. When the first exemp-
ton came in each district, number
one hundred one would be called.
and SO on.
Badges for Exempted.
To prevent barrassment
among those who are exempt the
war department has decided to
give with each exemption certificate
a bronze badge bearing the inscrip-
ton: Exempted L. :" The de-
sign for this badge has been ap
proved by Sec'y Baker and a mum
ber already are in process of manu-
facture. 1t is intended to prevent
those exempted from any suspicion
Of being slackers.
The law specifies that eNemp
tions are not permanent unless the
cause for which they are granted
is permanent. For instance, if
man should be exempted on the
relative and that relative should die
or become self supporting before
the second call, the registrant would
be liable for service under the sec
Ond call. Ii will be the duty Of the
exemption boards TO keep watch of
such cases and recall men who have
been passed over once but whose
status may have changed before the
second call is made.
