Ihe first draft army will be for
100000 plus what is needed to fill
up other ranks. The figure has been
tentatively set at 687 900.
While il requires only a short time
to select the first million, the work
of drawing will continue for several
hours. A tremendous amount of de.
tail work is made necessary in the
recording of each number drawn.
An entire staff of clerks and assis-
tants will be grouped around long
table to mark off each man.
The numbers as they are pulled
will be set down. They will then be
wired to the states in the order in
which they are drawn. Duplicate
lists will be kept here, so that there
will be no chance of switching mum
bers through favoritism or error in
the states.
Each state and each local board
will be notified before dark on draft
day Of the order in which the men
were drawn, The names Of the first
million men will be made public in
states-each board announcing its
quota. No names will be dealt with

registration cards are being received
here and will be filed away, but the
war department itself will have moth.
ing to do with the names on them.
1t will deal entirely with numbers.
The names will be made public by
the local boards.
Gen. Crpwder, provost marshal,

may be furnished with the names Of
the first million by central agency

French airs they had picked up in
the few short weeks in camp.
All along the itinerary, in every
city, town, village and hamlet the
trains were greeted by cheering
crowds. As the first train passed
through the inhabitants in the i'm

running out. No piece of gossip ever
made such wildfire progress through
towns, big and small, as the news
that the "Sammies" were passing
through,
Everywhere thousands Of men,
women and children streamed in, and
when the last train passed through
the tracks were thickly lined with
jubilant mutitudes. At places where

While the soldiers were travelling
nearer and nearer to the front, the
staff of the American force was
straining every nerve In completing
the work to make the troops in every
respect fit to take their part in the
fighting. 1t is expected many changes

WAR CONSTRUCTION
PROGRAM INCLUDES,
ALMOST 800 SHIPS
All Types Included, from Super
Dreadnaughts to U-Boat Chasers,
Says Daniels.
WHERE THE CONTRACTS GO
First Of New DestrOyers Expected
to Be Launched Within Nine
Months.

Washington, Oct. 9.-The Ameri-
can navy's war construction program
consists of 787 vessels, including all
types from er-dreadnaughts to
submarine chasers.
4, In making this announcement to-
day Secretary Daniels said some of
the vessels have been completed with
in the past few weeks and are now
in service. The total cost is esti-
mated at $1,150,40O,O
), Many of the vessels are destroyers
and arrangements have been made
for carrying out the $3.50, 100000 sup
Elemental destroyer program, which
the navy expects to be completed in
eighteen months. Examination of
contracts by the legal representa-
tives of the builders prevented the
formal signing of the agreements to-
day with the six companies which are
to build the craft, but Mr.. Daniels
said only minor details stood in the
way of getting the vessels under
construction.
Where the Contracts Go.
The companies awarde dthe con-
tracts are the New York Shipbuild-
ing Compilations, the Cramp Com
pany, the Newport News Shipbuild-
ing and Dry Dock Company, the Fore
. River Shipbuilding Corporation, the
Bath Iron Works and the Union Iron
Works.
The Fore River Company, Mr..
Daniels explained, was the only one
that had offered to build more YES
sells than were awarded it. The other
builders were given all the work it
is estimated that they could under
take, and the remainder of the order
went to the Fore River company.
Secretary Daniels said he expected
the first of the new destroyers to be
launched and commissioned within
nine months. They will be of the
latest, largest and improved types,
which have just been tried by the
American navy, he said, and found to
be unsurpassed by any destroyer in
the world. "Thousands of men will
be required to man these destroycrs, ;"
the Secretary's statement said. "By
the time the vessels are completed the
crews will be ready"
