DRAF I DRAWING
 THURSDAY WILL
 PLACE NEWMEN
Only 1,200 Numbers Will
 Be Placed In Bowl and
 Secretary Ba ker Will Draw Out First Capsul
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, June 25.-Drawing of order numbers for the S00,000 men who registered for military service last June will be held Thursday in the same committee room in the senate of flee building in which the first great national lottery was held a little less than year ago.
 Starts at 9:30 in Morning
 Secretary Baker, blindfolded, will draw the first number from the bowl at 9:30 a. m. and the selection will continue until all the capsules contain ing the master numbers have been re- moved. Last year 10,500 numbers were used and the drawing continued for seventeen hours. With a maximum of l,200 men estimated from the district showing the largest registration on June ,, it is expected the second lot tery will be completed within three hours.
 Far Less Important
 Establishment of five classes for the registrants. fixing relative liability for service will make Thursdays drawing of far less importance even to the men directly concerned than was that of a year ago. The order in which a regis trants number is drawn Thursday will determine only his place in the class to which he will be assigned. whereas the first drawing was to fix +''e regis trant's place in the order of his call for service. Assignment of a registrant to class one is practically certain to en- tail his early call to the colors if he is physically fit, and if he is given de- ferred classification his nosition in the other classes is of little moment.
 How Drawing is Done
 Attaches of the provost marshal generals staff probably will be used to draw the capsules. As soon as a cap sule is selected, it will be handed to another attache Mho will open it and read aloud the number.
 A most careful cross checking of the numbers will be made in order that there may be no mistakes. Each num- Der as it is withdrawn from the bowl will be written in order upon a large blackboard placed in full view of all in the room. When it has been filled, this board will be photographed for per manent record.
 Reports For Local Boards
 Each local board will be furnished with an official report of the order in which the numbers appeared so that they will be able to make liability lists for their districts Preparation of such lists. however, will be postponed until | the new registrants have returned theiI questionnaires which are now being distributed. Seven days have been al- lowed for filling out and returning | these documents

AMERICANS SOON IN
 LINE WITH ITALIANS
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

ROME, Monday. June 24.-American troops will be in Italy probably early in July, according to notification given to the Italian authorities by State Sen ator Cotillo, of New York, who is hero on an official mission.
 The announcement of direct partici- patton of American units alongside the forces now fighting in Italy has pro- duced an encouraging effect.
 Small Force, Only, Expected
 WASHINGTON, June 25.-An- nouncement that American troops were to be sent to Italy was made re- gently by Secretary Baker, but for military reasons the plans regarding the expedition have not been made public. So far as is known it has not been determined whether force woufd be sent direct from the United States or from the expeditionary forces in France. It is not believed that a large force will be sent.
