MEANS CALLING TO coLoRs
OF 744,5o0 MEN

Washington--As a result of the
drawing held here on June q, the
young men of the nation who have
attained their majority in the year
ended last June were selected for ser
vice.
Historic events of a little less than
year ago were repeated as from a
large glass bowl in committee room
of the senate office building were
drawn the numbers representing 744,-
500 youths, the majority of whom
within few months will be en-
rolled in the forces fighting for de-
mocracy and against Prussianism.
Secretary Baker, members of the
senate and house military commit
tees, and other high government Of
ficlals witnessed the drawing by
blindfolded men of the little capsules
from the bowl each of the capsules
containing a master number" to be
applied in the $500 registration dis
tricts of the country, according to the
total registration.
The drawing was to determine
| only the relative summoning to the
colors Of the new registrants as final
| ly classified by the local boards I'M
der the questionable system. All of
the youths whose numbers We're
drawn will be assigned to the various
five classes on the basis of Informal
ton furnished in the questionnaires
now being mailed out. The new regis
trants will be placed at the foot of
the list in each case in their re-
spective districts in the order in which
their numbers were drawn. In that
respect only will the drawing affect
the registrants.
Statements made recently by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder and
| Secretary Baker indicate that all of
the new registrants placed in class l
! will be called before the end of the
year. Accordingly, not more than a
few months will elapse at the most
between the calling of men in class
l whose numbers are among those
drawn first and those whose numbers
are among the last to be taken from
the bowl
The master numbers" drawn June
81 apply to the numbers on the
registration cards of the registrants.
In the drawing of year ago serial
numbers were assigned, but this was
deemed unnecessary in the present
drawing because of the fewer regis
trants and of the less Importance at
tached to the order in which the
numbers are drawn.
The draft numbers were drawn in
the following order:
