SECRETARY OF WAR BEGINS THE
WORK OF SELECTING THE
MEN WHO WILL WEAR
UNCLE SANS UNIFORM.
TAKES WHOLE DAY AND NIGHT
Altogether 10,500 Numbers Were
Drawn From Big Fish Bowl Used
for the extraordinarily
None After the First 1000
Will Be Called on fer
Service, at Least at
This Time.

Washington, July 21.-The draft for
the national army is completed. The
great task of determining the order in
which the registrants should be called
up for examination was begun at 9: 4S
o'clock Friday morning when No, 25S
ously until early Saturday morning,
when the last number came out of the
bowl. In all 10000 numbers were
drawn, but it is not likely that men
holding numbers drawn after the first
1000 will be summoned before the
boards for service in the first army.
According to the officials in charge,
the first 1000 numbers drawn repre-
tented more than a million men.
The draft was invested with all the
dignity and solemnity becoming so i'm
portant an event, and was witnessed
by distinguished company. The first
eight numbers were drawn respective
ly by Secretary of War Baker, Senator
Chamberlain of the senate military
committee, Congressman Dent of the
house military committee, Senator
Warren and Representative Kahn,
ranking minority members of the SEN
ate and house military committees;
Maj. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, acting
chief of staff of the army; Maj. Gen.
Enoch Crowder, provost marshal of
the army; and Major General Mccain,
adjutant general of the army. After
the first eight numbers had been drawn
the regular tellers took hold, and
worked through until the long task
was completed.
In only small number of the larg-
est districts will the numbers above a
few thousand affect registrants. Of
the 1867 registration districts
throughout the country the largest has
something over 10000 numbers, while
the smallest has only about 1856, and
the average is about 1900. AS the
drawing proceeded, 157 numbers were
withdrawn before one low enough to
affect the smallest district came out.
1t was 126, placing 1867 men number
ed 126 on their local lists as 157th in
order of liability.
The following list shows the num-
bers in the order in which they were
drawn. The first number in each case
represents the order in which the sec
ond, or red-ink registry, number was
taken from. the bowl. Four numbers
are given in each line, beginning with
the first number, which was drawn by
Secretary Baker.

INSURANCE PLAN
ON WIDE SCOPE
Allowances for Families and
Rehabilitation of Fighters
TO PAY PEACE-TIME RATES
Program Under Which Government
Would Bear Extra Cost Will Go
To President When Details
Are Worked Out.

Washington-The Federal Govern
ment's plan for insuring officers and
men of the army, navy and Marine
Corps against death and injury while
in service broadened into a complex
program which would provide Govern.
ment allowances for families Of sold.
iers and sailors and the rehabilitation
and training of injured men to fit them
for making a livelihood after the war.
The program was discussed at con.
ferences among officials of the War,
Navy, Treasury, Commerce and Labor
Departments The Labor Committee
of the Council of National Defense and
the presidents and other high officers
of leading insurance companies of the
United States.
The issuance of insurance policies
from $1,000 to $4,000 to officers and
men at ordinary peace-time rates, the
Government paying the extra cost, in
demnity for total or partial disability,
the administration of the entire
scheme by the Governments War Risk
Insurance Bureau, which is at present
insuring officers and crews of Ameri-
can merchant vessels, are among the
outstanding features of the proposed
program.
1.-The plan has not assumed definite
lOrm," said statement issued at the
Treasury Department, but when it has
been worked out in all it's funda-
mentals and details, Secretary Nc
Adoo will present it to the President
Tor his approval, and if approved, the
recommendation will be submitted to
Congress at an early date for its con-
sideration.
1.-The whole proposition is based on
the fundamental idea that the Govern
ment should as matter of justice and
humanity adequately protect it's fight
ing men on land and sea and their de-
pendent families. It is proposed to i'm
pose on the public treasury the obliga-
ton of indemnifying justly the men
who have entered or are about to enter
the American Army and Navy.
Under the plan discussed, it is sug-
gested that provision be made for the
support of dependents of soldiers and
sailors by giving them an allotment out
of the pay Of the men and also an al
lowance by the Government; that Off
GERS and men be Unidentified against
death or total or partial disability;
that a system of rehabilitation and re-
education of disabled men be in
augurated and that the Government in
sure the lives of sailors and soldiers
on their application at rates of prem
ium based upon ordinary risks.
dependents of soldiers and sailors
in service would be provided for
through allotments from their pay, sup
plemented by family allowances by the
Government.
