Drawing Specifies Priority.
In the drawing at Warrington, D.
c., the priority for service of each
one Of the 100000 men who reg
istered was determined by drawing
10000 numbers. each Of which ap-
piled to each of the 1857 registra-
ton districts in the county. These
numbers are set out on what are
called master lists, carefully checked
to eliminate all errors, and two of
these lists will be sent to each local
board. The order in which each reg
istered man in this county is subject
to service is set forth, and when addt-
tional calls are ordered by the presi.
dent, all that it will be necessary to
do will be for the local board to post
a list of the additional number of
men needed, in the order in which
their numbers were drawn.
When these master lists are re-
ceived next week, the local board will
first cancel the numbers higher than
the highest registration number in
this county and the others will then
be called in order. There are 1919
registered men in this county, which
means that all card numbers above
1742 will be stricken from the list.
1t 80 happens. however. that all of
the first 600 numbers drawn. accord
ing to unofficial reports, which are
the only ones so far received. were
less than the highest card number in
