Into Effect.
ONLY ONE BLANK APPEARS
Men Who Will Compose First new
Army Mill Be Chosen From the
First 1000 Drawn.

LILLY W uclCllllllc Llc OIuCl " ldU1l-
ity for the new national army has
taken place.
AS fast as the m were called
they were written on a blackboard and
when this was filled it was carried
away and photographed as a record.
This allowed brief respite until the
board was cleaned and replaced, when
the task went on as before.
When the 10,004th capsule was
drawn it was found to be blank. The
fact was noted on tally sheets before
q new 10000 was drawn.
Until they actually receive from
their respective boards the order to
present themselves for physical ex-
animation the men registered whose
numbers were drawn to determine
their order of liability for military
service still can enlist voluntarily in
the regular army, national guard,
navy or marine corps.
1t probably will not be for a week at
feast hat any summons to appear for
examination are issued. 1t will be sew
eral weeks before many are reached.
During that period the opportunity for
voluntary enlistment in any branch
of the service is still theirs.
AS a result of the drawing every
registered man is given a efini
place in the liability for service list.
Already $4,000 have been ordered
TO the colors to fill to war strength the
regular army and national guard and
NJ G-.1 &C
the national army.
To obtain that total 1,374,000 men
will be called for examination within a
few weeks, officials estimating that
two registrants must be called for
every soldier accepted.
These 1871, 900 will be taken from
the head of the liability list, every
local district furnishing a fixed quota.
The numbers given below are from
The first 1000 drawn and are expected
to practically complete the first army.
The registrants were drawn in the
following order:
