DRAFT DETAILS A SECRET
WILL BE WITHHELD TO LAST
MINUTE.
Plan, Said to Be Very Simple. Con.
cealed by Order From the
White House.

washington, July 12-Persistent
inquiries from all parts of the country
for information about the methods 10
be followed in selecting men for the
national army, caused war department
officials to explain that President vii.
sons determination to have absolute
fairness govern the process was re-.
sponslble for the decision to withhold
announcement of the exact plan until
the very eve of the drawing.
The exemption regulations and all
other moves in the making of the new
army have received the approval of
the president personally, and the draft
regulations also Will some from the
White House. All that is known now
is that the drawing will be from serial
numbers corresponding to numbers on
registration cards and that it will take
place in Washington, probably at the
capitol
Secretary Baker or some other high
official will draw the first number and
then the process of selection will be
pushed forward until there is flashed
by telegraph to every community in
the country the numbers of men
drawn. It is understood that the sys.
TEN planned is so simple that the
work will be done in a few hours.
So far only 81 states have reported
to the provost generals Office the COM
pletion Of their organization. In some
of them the names and serial numbers
Of the men liable to draft already have
been posted. The first city to report
the completion of that part of her
work was Kansas City.
Some fear was felt at the war de-
partment that the delays in organiza.
ton might cause further postpOnement
of the draft. 1t had been believed
that the drawing might take place
Saturday. 1t then became evident that
1t could not be held before next week
and indicatiosn are that it may be the
latter part of next week before every
thing is ready.
One of the states where there has
been much confusion in organization
is New York.
No man, called for examination need
suffer humiliation il dependents need
his services more than his country
needs them, or if for any other reason
he ought to be exempt from military
duty. Gen. Crowder explained that
the man whose number is drawn is |
not required individually to claim ex-
emption, but that. with or without his |
knowledge, the claim may be present
ed by another.
Gen. Crowder also explained that |
the initiative in exemption could not |
be taken by federal authority.
