Method of Drafting Ignored.

Reference to the exact method of
making the actual draft from the reg
istration lists is carefully avoided in
the instructions to the local boards. 1t
is the intention of the federal govern
ment to do that part of the work it
self. The only thing that appertains to
what is to happen after the lists have
been prepared and mailed as provided
Is a clause that states the intention of
the President to prescribe a method,
place and time for each local board to
determine the order in which tho reg
istered men are to be called before
them for examination to determine
their fitness or liability for service.
When the big drawing takes place. fl
and UNIT will he represented alike in
the unidentified numbers in the wheel.
If the man whose number comes out of
the box early enough to make him part
of the first army is unfit or exempt, the
next man drawn takes his place. AS
every number is to be drawn out this
procedure will be followed down the
line until the army is complete.

Regulations for the guidanie of the
local boards which are to make the
selections for the national army have
been approved by the President and the
Secretary of War They were prepared
by Provost Marshal General Crowder

state and municipal authorities in all
parts of the country
These regulations have no appIica ton
to exemptions from draft, which is a
subject still under consideration by the

In the approved regulations every
provision is made for fair and square
selection and the prevention of the ex-
ercise of bias or favoritism
.. Duties of the Board.

copies of the registration iist. One Of
these II retains A second must be
posted in a conspicuous place. accessible
to the public, third copy must be
kept available for the local press

fourth copy must be sent by registered
mail to the provost marshal general.
This list will show each mans num-
Der. When the drawing is held the
from the wheel. If John Smith is No.
144 and that number is drawn from the
wheel the number will be telegraphed
to the town where John Smith lives
and he Will then know he has been
elected to serve his country
Subsequently he will have chance
to appear before the exemption board
and show cause why he should not be
required t" perform that service. But
the draft comes first and the granting
OF exemptions afterward.

the cards of all persons registered shall
be numbered consecutively, and ex-
pressly prohibits their being arranged
alphabetically. These numbers are to
be known as serial numbers They are

ing too much about that vast feet OF

attention to the equally vital infantry
and artillery arms OF offense, is the
op nion of a high member of Major
General Pershing's staff.
After reading cables to French
papers on the nationwide agitation
in America urging Congress to ap-
prove huge aero fleet plans. he de-
clared today:
While supremacy in the air is
imperative. aeroplanes alone are not
going to win the war. There are
three big elements-infantry artil-
lery and aviation. The three
should be considered in ball
anced coordination. One arm is
as important as the other In a
modern war such as this the artil-
lery depends on ayiation-and the
infantry depends on the artillery.
1T would be foolish to have SUI
periority in infantry If we did not
have the heavy guns to blast out the
endny and tear up the otherwise un-
cuttable wire defenses in front of his
positions. before the infantry went
into action
ut is likewise just as ill-advised
to have an overbalanced aviation
