Washington, June 27.-The draw
ing of numbers to determine the
order in which youths Of the classes
of 1918 will be called into the mill
tary service was conducted here to-
day with much the same ceremony
which marked the great drawing Of
a year ago. -
This time, hoYeYer. it was a much
smaller affair, and in view OF the
fact that the classification system
more nearly determines the order Of
service than does the actual numeri-
cal order, 1t was not surrounded with
such dramatic interest.
The drawing was held in the
great conference room of the senate
office building with Secretary Baker
blindfolded, taking the first gela-
tine capsule, with q number en-
closed, from the glass bowl. 1t was
number 246, numbers 1,16S and SIS
were the second and third respec-
lively, and thus the drawing con-
tinued to the end.
Big blackboards for checking the
record were placed against the wall
ct the rear OF the room. The num-
hers were written on the board as
drawn and then the board was
photographed to make a permanent
incontrovertible record.
In comparison with the 1n500
numbers required to be drawn a year
ago, only i 200 numbers were drawn
today. The district having the
largest number Of men to register
june 8, reported somewhat less than
1000 regtstrants. To provide for
late registrants and emergencies it
was decided to draw 1900 numbers.
CEota.-In the following list Of
numbers. only those under $50 are
given, since there are no serial NUM-
bers in Month Dakota which go high
or than that. The numbers are pub
lShed in the order in which they
were drawn, and every tenth number
drawn is paragraphed as a guide. 1t
will be noted that only two to three
or four numbers are given between
each two guide numbers. The re-
manning numbers are above $50 and
ARE therefore not published in North
Dakota. For illustration, between
the flftieth and the sixtieth numbers
drawn, there were none below $50,
while between the tenth and the
twentieth numbers drawn, there were
five below $50. They are 10, 20, 210,
; 805 and 259.l
