DRAWN THIS WEEK
To Determine Order Number ol

June S..

Washington, June 24.-A second
national lottery, to determine the or
der numbers of the 744,86s men en-
rolled on June S, last, under the Sc
lective service law, will be held here
this week. The drawing probably
will be On Thursday or Friday, de-
pending upon the time the final COM
plete records are received from the
district boards.
The procedure to be followed, it
was stated officially today, will be
similar to that of last year when
nearly 100000 men were given
their respective places in the draft.
The same bowl will be used with cap
sules. containing numbers up to the
largest number of registrants in any
district in the country. 1t is expect
ed the drawing will be completed
much more quickly this year. ~
The lottery system is based on the
selection OF master numbers, each of
which governs similar numbers i'll
every one of the 4,5oo local districts
over the country. Under the system
of classifying registrants, adopted
since the first drawing last year, how
ever it does not necessarily follow
that the men holding the first NUM-
Der drawn would be the first called
Tor service
The law provides that the 1913 reg
istrants shall be placed at the bottom
OF the classes to which they may be
assigned by the local boards on the
basis of their questionnaires. A very
large proportion of the nearly 100000
registered are expected to go into
class 1. -
