Shington.-President Wilson per-
sOnally opened the ceremony of draw
ing numbers for the 100000 men
registered In the new draft. He drew
the first capsule, which contained the
number 322.
Amid ceremonies profoundly inn
pressive and of transcendent historical
significance, Gen. Peyton G. March,
chief of staif of the army, received in
| person this vast force of as yet ununi-

March is to recruit the army OF 4,OO0,-
900 men which he has promised TO
have overseas by July next to back
up General Pershing on the battlehelds
Of Europe.
Every man in the registration is af-
fected, as from those who are not
called for active military duty the
cOuntry's war managers propose to
mobilize great Industrial army OF

stantly flowing stream of men and mu-
nitiOnS to the field of battle.
The roll call. which is to assign to
each of the 100000 men a military
number determining the order in
which he is to be called, was begun by
President Wilson himself. and not fin
ished until late in the afternoon next
day.
AS the tally sheets were filled they
were rushed over to the government
printing office for the official master
list, which, when completed. were sent
by General CrOwder to all district
boards throughout the country, which,
in turn We're to make them public
through the newspapers. In that way
the country at large was informed OF
the order OF all the numbers within
few days.
Wilson Is AppIauded.
There was a hearty round OF ap-
plause as the president, blndfOlded
with piece Of cloth taken from the
covering of one of the chairs used
at the signing of the Declaration of
Independence, approached the table
on which rested the famous glass
bowl used upon the first drawing.
Provost Marshal Gen. CrOwder guild

the bowl to pick one of the 1900 blue
capsules containing the numbers.
There was increased handclapping
when it was announced that the first
number of the drawing was 322. for

Lafayette attitude to the Eng
lish was revealed when, while
visiting his uncle, the Marquis de
Noailles, then ambassador to the
Court of St. James, he declined all
invitations to visit arseDals and
shipyards, believing that by so do
ing he would be taking an unfair
advantage of nation which was
to be his foe through the stupidity
of a ruler who could not and would
not understand.
His home in Paris after the
close of the war of the revolution
became a place of rendezvous for
both English and Americans.
Since the war is over and we
have won it, he wrote to General
Washington in 1885, Il have, l
confess, an extreme pleasure in
meeting English people. Either
as Frenchman, or a soldier, or an
American, or a mere individual, 1
find myself without embarrassment
in the presence of that proud
nation"
There could have been no gentler
acts of courtesy than those which
he did when CORVALLIS had sur
rendered at Yorktown, for he had
the highest opinion of the British
commander as a man, and, as he
modestly wrote CORVALLIS, ''held
him in high esteem"
