Great Draft Lottery Continues
for Is Hours Before Final
Number Is Drawn.

Washington, July 21.-America's
great army of democracy has been
drafted. At 9:49 o'clock on Friday
morning Secretary of War Baker,
blindfolded, drew from d big glass
bowl the first capsule and the number
in it was announced as 25S. Other
distinguished officials in turn drew out
numbers, and then the task was turned
over to the regular tellers, who worked
steadily at it until early Saturday
morning, when the final capsule was
drawn.
The beginning of the draft was par
ticipated in and witnessed by a COM
pany of notables as large as could be
accommodated and was surrounded
with all due solemnity. After Sec
rotary Baker had drawn the first num-
Der, seven others were drawn by Sen
ator Chamberlain of the senate mill
tary committee, Congressman Dent of
the house military committee, Sena-
tor Warren and Representative Kahn,
ranking minority members of the SEN
ate and house military committees
Maj. Gen. Tasker Fl. 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.
More than a million men were rep
resented by the first 1000 numbers
drawn, according to an official state
ment, and it is likely that only the
first 1000 drawn will be called before
the exemption boards for the first
army. The numbers above a few
thousand will not affect registrants
except in a small number of the larg-
est districts. OF the 1857 registration
districts throughout the country the
largest has something over 10000
numbers, while the smallest has only
about 1S5, and the average is about
5000. AS the drawing proceeded, 157
numbers were withdrawn before one
low enough to affect the smallest dis
trict came out. 1t was 126, placing
4,557 men numbered 126 on their local
lists as 18TH 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.

MAY DEPORT GERMANS

Washington. April 6.--Whle Presi-
dent Wilson has indicated the benevo-
lent policy the government will pur-
sue toward Germans in this country,
legal officers of the administration
have directed attention to a law al
ready on the statute books under
which, as soon as congress declares
war; every unnaturalized German male
IA years of age or over may be con-
fined or removed as alien enemies.
Under the old Prussian- American
treaty of 1928, German citizens here
would be to an extent exempt from
the provisions of this law. The
United States has refused to accede
to proposal of the Berlin govern
ment that the treaty be reaffirmed
with changes and additions, and it is

Washington. April 6.-(Special.)-
When Miss Jeanette Rankin voted
against the war resolution in the early
hours of this morning it was evident
to those in the house of representa-
tives that she was greatly aggitated
and it was feared fora moment that
she was likely to break down under
the intense emotion of the ordeal.
During the day various members
and newspapermen had asked Miss
Rankin If she would vote for OF
against the resolution, but she was
plainly non -commital and plainly dis
turbed. Both sides suggested that sh,
no promises.
Advocates of the war resolution
wanted to enlist her aid because O
the effect a woman's utterances would
have on the pacifist group in thu
house and pacifists throughout tn,
country. One of the practical mem
bers suggested it would help suffrag,

But Miss Rankin evidently wa!
thinking beyond that. The woman!

uppermost. and when the test cam,

There was a spasmodic burst of ap.
