The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1917-07-20

The drawing in the greatest lot
terry in history began in the capitol
building at Washington this forenoon
to determine the order in which more
than 100000 men who registered on
June will be liable for military duty
under the provisions of the selective
draft law.
Secretary of War Newton D. Baker
drew the first of the black capsules
!. was numbered 25S and in Benning-
ton county belongs to Edward Joseph
Valencourt of this village.
The Banner began receiving the
numbers by telephone shortly after
IL o'clock This manner of receiving
figures is not so accurate as though
the figures were transmitted by tele-
graph and is therefore subject to
correction.
The figures are being received
slowly for the reason that there are
10,263 numbers to be drawn repre-
senting the total number Of names
recorded in the largest of the 1867
registration districts. Numbers above
174S are of no interest in Bennington
and Bennington county as this figure
represents the total number Of regis
trations
Many of those who have been
drawn will be exempted under the
provisions of the law A good per
centage upon examination will be
found physically unfit for the service
and Others will come under the other
provisions for exemption.
Under the plan adopted by the war
department at the last minute all the
names up TO the limit of the largest
registration district are being drawn.
The order in which the numbers come
out of the big glass Jars indicates the
order in which the registrants will be
called for examination. The regis.
trants will be examined, in the order
that their numbers are drawn, Will
! be accepted, rejected or exempted as
the case may be until the quota OF
accepted men from each district is
secured In Bennington county the
men will be called in the order that
| their numbers are drawn until 145
are accepted.
In the following list of ofinames It Is
understood that unless the town is
given the registrant resides in Ben
| nington.
