Great Draft Lottery Continues
for 10 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 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 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;
2 Mai. Gen. Tasker, II. 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 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 185, 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numbers were withdrawn before one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
1857 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.
