PICKING MEN FOR WAR.
Tho seIectve Draft Was Known In tho

Time of Moseo.
Registration for n selective draft was
known thousands of years ago. The
first chapter Of Numbers tells how Mo
ses in the second year after the exodus
from Egypt was commanded to choose
from among the various tribes men to
tabulate the names of the males over
the age of twenty who were able to
go to war. The passage, in part, fol-
lows:
"Tale We the sum of all the congre-
cation of the children of Israel by their
families, by their fathers houses, ac-
cording to the number OF the names,
every male by their polls; from twenty
years Of age and upward, all that are
able TO go forth to war, thou and
Aaron shall number them by their
hosts. And with you there shall be n
man Of every tribe. QIcre are men
toned the men who are to assist in the
registratlon.)
"And Moses and Aaron took these
men that are mentioned, and they as
sembled all the congregation together
on the first day of the second month,
and they declared their pcdigrees after
their families by their fathers houses,
| according to the number of the names
from twenty years old and upward. -
