MADE FOR
DRAF TING UNDER
CONSCR|PT LAW

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 23.-
Regulations for drafting the new ma
tional army, now awaiting President
Wilson's approval contain provision
for every step in the great undertak-
ing, except the actual method of the
draft itself.
No official announcement has been
made, and official confirmation is
being withheld, but it has been stated,
and generally is accepted here as true,
that the federal government itself will
do the drafting. probably in Washing
ton, so there will be no opportunity for
local favoritisms, political or other
wise.
AS the regulations stand now, every
registered man bears a number. The
numbers will be forwarded to Wash
ington and the drawing will be entirely
by number The identity of the num-
bered men will be entirely unknown to
those in charge of the draft machin'
cry and can be established only by
comparing a number with a printed
list in the mans home district.
AS the numbers are drawn, they will
be telegraphed to the home districts,
where the registered men will learn il
they have been drafted. Then the
question of exemptions will come UP
and this will go before the local
boards. If a man is exempted, the
man bearing the number which wa
drawn next in order will take his
place and so on.
In this way all those available for
service out of the ten million who reg
istered will be made ready for the
country's call and from them the first
Increment of 625,00O will be assem-
bled. The others will be called as
the need develops. Plenty of time will
be given for drafted men to arrange
their personal affairs and report to the
cantonment camps. It is hoped to
have them all in training by Septem
Der /, or soon thereafter
