There has been much speculation as
10 when the drawing Of numbers for
the registrants will be staged and it
was announced from Washington today
that this will be done as soon as pos
sible and some Of the registrants regis
tering today will likely be in the sery-
ice next month. The first to be called
will be those who have reached their
10th birthday and who have not reached
their 37th birthday.
Each man as he registers is furnished
with a green registration card showing
this fact and which he should carry
with him at all times.
He may be called upon Unexpectedly
to show his card in order 20 establish
his standing After the registration rec
Ords are completed the QuestiOnnaires
will be sent to registrants 10 MI in.
Hundreds Of men could be seen along
the streets studying their registration
cards or showing them TO friends.
The government estimates OF the
number Of men it is expected 10 reg
lister today is based upon the first
registration on June ., 1917, when only
men between the ages of 2i and 81
years were registered. The expeota-
tion is that the registration today will
be larger than the previous one, thus
the local exemption boards have pro-
vided the registrars with more cards
than were given to those who did the
work in 1911.
The estimate OF the possible num-
Der OF registrants in this city is: BY
Board No 1, 4,432; Board No 2, 4,OO9:
Board No. 3, 4752; Board No. 4, 1876.
The estimate for rural New Castle
county is ABB
The estimate OF today's registration
in Kent county is 5000; Sussex coun-
ty, 5000. This makes the total estimate,
Wilmington, t7,i69; rural New Castle,
Abb; Kent county, 5000; Sussex cOun-
ty, 5000: total for State, 29,902.
Men who are now in this city, but
whose homes are elsewhere, who have
not registered with the local boards
and had their cards sent to their re-
spective homes, must register today in
this city.
The same process will be followed
regarding Wilmingtonians now out OF
the city and who have as yet not reg
istered They will be registered today
wherever they may be and their cards
forwarded to this city so that they
may be furnished with the proper reg
istratiOn card.
As TO the men between the ages OF
IS and q, there is much speculation.
The educational bill-still incomplete
providing for the training OF the young
men between the ages Of IS and 2i, is
the subject Of conjecture. 10 is said,
among other things that the young
men will be given some schooling be
fore they are taken. From what could
be learned, however. high school grad
yates in a comparatively small number
Of those between the ages of IS and 2i
