Some of the work continues on Sun.
days with unabated fury.
On every side daily the patches of
recruits (for the regular army are
being trained by the regulars. In fact
SO fast have they been coming in and
so many Of the recruits are there in
the camp that some of the training
camp men have been called on to
help as instructors.
1t is generally rumOred in camp
that out OF each company here in tho
training camp about fifty-odd off,
GERS will be appointed in charge Of
the men drafted for the greater
American army. Each company is
expected to furnish two majors, twelve
captains and twenty first and second
lieutenants. 1t Is also reported that
the men drafted will be sent to the
CantOnments in their own States and
that the officers appointed from those
States at the expiration Of this camp
will be placed in charge Of them.
This report. Of course. is not affirm
ed as accurate. However. it will be
good. If true. for many Of the men
here. as we'll as for the conscripts.
Tomorrow is July 4th. The camp
celebrates with n holiday and a big
field athletic meet. There will be
competition between companies and
in the afternoon a game of baseball
between a team from this camp and
one from Fort Mcpherson, Atlanta,
Ga, made up of the men in the
training camp there. About 400 men
from that camp will visit here tomo~-
row. Wendell Levi has been out prac-
ticing pitching and may be in the
game tomorrow big honor. if he
gets in, which he probably will.
All OF the Sumter men are getting
on we'll. having settled down in sat
isned manner following their changes
two weeks ago. They are already
eagerly anticipating the 11th Of Au-
gust when the camp ends with their
efforts crowned with success, Or #
they do not secure comm issons. they
will have the satisfa ctiOn of knowing
their work we'll done.

DRAWN BY NUMBERS ONLY.
METHOD OF SELECTING NEW AR.
MY WILL RESEMBLE JURY
WHEEL SYSTEM.
Drawing Date Not Fixed-Daker and
CrOwdcr Confer as to Method to be
Followed in Drawing.

Washington. July 5.-Arrangements
for the next step toward mobilization
OF the new national army-the exer-
else of the selection for draft-were
taken up to night at a conference
between Secretary Baker and Provost
Marshal Gen. Crowder.
Mr.. Baker said later he had no an
nouncement to make as to the date
of the drawing. 1t has been an
nounced that the drawing will be
held in Washington, and it is said
statement covering the method to be
followed will be made tomorrow or
the next day.
Organization of the local and dis
trict exemption boards, the arrange
ment Of the registration lists in Sc
rial numbers and other preliminary
work must be completed before the
selection machinery can be set in
motion. A statement by the public
information committee says this may
be done Saturday, though there is no
certainty about it.
Reports current today that selec-
tions had already been made proba-
bly, arose from the fact that many
boards have numbered their registra-
tiOn cards and in some cases proba-
bly, already are publishing the lists
as required by regulations.
The last district will have to COM
plete this work, however, before Sc
lection can begin, as the administra-
ton is determined to leave no loop
hole for Juggling of the serial mum.
bers. 1t is for that reason that pub
lie posting of the list and the films
Of duplicate copies with the proves
marshal general has been required il
advance of selection.
The care with which the numberin:
Of the registration cards is being car
ried out makes it certain that tn,
drawing will be based entirely upoI
numbers. No names will be involved
in the actual process of selection
which will closely approximate, it Il
understood, the jury wheel system.
District No. 2 and District No
32, both Of Philadelphia, are rival.
for the honor Of being the first t.
send the provost marshal genera
their complete registration list. They
were received today in the same
mail.

of motor cars 20 miles long and train
Of 9-inch guns six miles long"
