1000 mum bers Will be drawn. The
one thousand, however. will dispose
of the entire registered eligibles
numbering nearly 100000 men.
Gen. Enoch Crowder. provost mar
shall general. so announced today
The 100000 registrants are di-
vided into groups. These groups
are controlled by key numbers"
from zero 10 nine. The men to be
called up have been numbered in
red ink ON the selective list by the
local boards. These red ink serial
numbers run from very small figures
in the lightly populated districts TO
more than 5000 in a very few other
districts. The red numbers were
assigned by chance. Because of
this Gen. Crowder has ruled that
drawings in sets of 1000 will
in no way work hardship on
ANYONE. To make il fair the draw
ings will be divided into two parts.
First will be the key numbers" to
determine in what order each sheet
Of 1000 thousand shall appear on

lowing:
Ten million men are registered
