DRAWING
AKNOTTY
PROBLEM
Omitted Press Leased wirc.)


WASHINGTON, June 10
Within a few weeks the eyes Of
the nation will be fixed upon the
most momentous lottery in his
tory.
In an obscure office in the land
office building, a secret advisory
board of lawyers, jurists and mill
tary men is laboring today setting
the stage for the drawing that
will sift out Americas new armies
from the millions on the rolls OF
honor"
As yet the exact methods OF
drawing the names of the first
levy from more than nine million
on the registration rolls is unset
tied.
To hit upon an absolutely
fair and impartial system that
will be involunerable to political
or any other kind of tampering is
one of the knottiest problems
President Wilson's advisory board
has encountered.
Already 1t is practically decid-
ed that the so-called jury wheel
system is impracticable.
Among the schemes tested and
considered by the board was one
by which the registration cards
we're assigned numbers to CORE
spond with marbles in basket.
On a certain day the drawings
were to be held simultaneously in
the cities or the counties.
Whatever plan the board de-
cides upon is to combine the ele-
ments of speed, fairness and pub.
