 For This Year Class
 Drawn in Washington
(continued From Page one)

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 4,50O registration districts of the country according to the total regis tration
 The setting for the lottery was replica of that of July 20 last when the drawing of 1G,500 numbers deter mined the liability for service of ap- | proximately 1O.000,O00 men. In the country at large there was little of the excitement that attended the first | drawing. A year of war had served to calm the American people. The lack of excitement, however, was largely aoccasioned by the fact that today's drawing was fraught with only 1 slight significance, because of the suestionnaire method of classification. Today's drawing was to determine only the relative summoning to the colors of the new registrants as finally classified by the local boards under the l questionnaire system. All of the youths whose number were drawn to- day will be assigned to the various five classes on the basis of informa- | tion furnished in the questionnaires now being mailed to them. The new registrants will be placed at the foot of the list in each class in their re- spective districts in the order in which their numbers are drawn today. In that respect only will today's drawing affect the registrants. Statements made recently by Pro- vost Marshal General Crowder and Secretary Baker indicate that all of the new registants placed in class 1 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 i whose numbers are among those drawn first and those whose numbers are among the last to be taken from the bowl.
 The first few numbers to be drawn were taken from the bowl shortly after 9:30 o'clock by Secretary. Baker, Later, attaches of the office of the provost marshal general were blind folded and withdrew the capsules from the bowl As the numbers were drawn they were announced and written on a large blackboard. When the black
 
 photographed and another was sub stituted. This operation was repeated during the more than three hours re- quired for the drawing.
 In comparison with the 10,500 numbers required to be drawn a year ago, only 1900 numbers were drawn today The district having the largest number of men to register on June 5 reported somewhat less than 1000 reg istrants. To provide for late regis trants and emergencies 1t was decided to draw 1 200 numbers. In the larger , number of the districts, however, only the lower numbers will apply Official Nsts of the numbers as drawn based on the photographs talk en of the blackboards will be sent ! within a, few days to all local draft boards to be used in placing the men when the questionnaires have been re- turned.
 The master numbers drawn today apply to the numbers on the registra- ton cards of the registrants In the drawing of a year ago serial numbers were assigned, but this was deemed unnecessary in the present drawing because of the fewer registrants and of the less importance attached to the order in which the numbers are , drawn.
