TODAY'S DRAFTING
 DOES NOT APPLY
 TO THE ALASKANS

COnscriptiOn draft numbers drawn today in Washington, D. C., do not effect the residents of Alaska, ac- fcording to the best information ob- tainable by Acting Governor Charles k. Davidson and w. w. Shorthill, | private secretary to Governor Strong It is their opinion that no Alaskan can be drawn until after the com pletion of the registration, which will close on September 2nd.
 Following the close of the regis tration all officers of the incorpo. rated towns will send their cards and returns direct to the office of the Governor where they will be filed. Returns from the outside precincts will be sent to the clerks of the court from the respective Di- visions and the registration board will then arrange all returns re- ceived numerically by name and give t them new numbers according to ar rangement.
 These returns will then be for warded to the office of the gover-
 
 Washington, or possibly in Juneau. All numbers drawn will apply to each of the 16 towns, and also each of the four judicial precincts outside of the incorporated towns. For in stance, if the number 50 is drawn, all persons living in each of the sixteen towns having that number will be notified to report. All numbered 50 by the clerks of the courts of the four Divisions will also be notified I to report, although the precinct reg istration number on his card may be anything else.
 II "The registration will close on Sep tember End Following that it will take at least until the first of the year and possibly longer to forward the returns to the Governors office after they have been arranged and numbered by the clerks of the court. The drawings cannot very well be made before that time, said MT. Day idson today.
