 Officials and newspaper photographers and moving picture men were in evidence as the ceremony started. and the black boards were photographed at the finish to make their records permanent.
 The dramatic interest that attended the first drawing, which actually determined the original order of service of 100000 registrants, was almost wholly lacking in todays proceedings. Since men placed in Class l are certain to be called to the colors within few months at most. the order in which new registrants are placed is relatively unimportant.

 The amendment was approved by the committee at a three-hour session dur ing which opponents made futile efforts to have it amended so as to permit the manufacture and sale of beer for six and then four months after enactment Et- forts to have the committee recommend passage of prohibition legislation in a separate measure also were unsuccessful.
 EXPENSIVE HEARINGS
 Extensive hearings on the question of prohibition during the war were held by the committee The proposal was op- posed and approved by high government officials and others. Chairman Hurley and Bainbridge Colby of the shipping board were among chief opponents be- cause of the effect they feared the tax. ing of beer from the workmen woul1 have on the shipbuilding industry.
 Secretary Daniels disagreed with the view of shipping board officials Mr. Daniels, wko did not appear as an advo- vate of prohibition, but at the request of the committee. said that after the 6dIG OL lNksuOI was pIOAlDilCN eAOAAi0 sAS Mare Island navy yard and the Newport torpedo sttaion, the workmen showed greater efficiency. the outputs of both plants increasing. He said this increased efficiency was further indicated by the record launching of torpedo boat de- stroyer at the Mare Island yard in 1lh days after the keel was laid.
 
 DRY LEADERS CONFIDENT
 Senator Sheppard of Texas and other prohibition leaders were confident to- night of the passage of the prohibition amendment They said that since the Senate last year adopted by a two-thirds vote the resolution to submit to the states prohibition constitutional amendment. majority vote in support of the present proposal easily could be secured. Opponents, however. expected a strong fight to be made in view of the fact that the constitutional amendment now is awaiting action by the states.

The secretary's announcement per- mits for the first time publication of the projects that have been under con sideration here and which were dis- cussed with General Pershing by cable before decision to send the first con- tingent to Italy from France was reached. The original plan was to use 3 part of the mobile reserves of the American expeditionary forces for the Italian expedition, but later 1t ap- peared likely that the movement would be made direct from the United States
 OTHERS TO FOLLOW
 While there is good reason to be- lieve the American forces in Italy will be augmented considerably later, to- days announcement appears to make it certain that no direct movement from the United States at an early date Is planned. It is known. however, that the suggestion has been considered that the Italian expedition be made entirely independent of General Pershings forces, although equally under the di- rection of General Foch as supreme commander.
 WISEST SOLUTION
 The nature of the discussion with General Pershing as to the Italian ven- ture has not been disclosed. The fact that he is selecting the first regiment to be sent, however, was taken as in dicating that it resulted in a decision that a consolidated American force in France and Italy was the wisest solu- tion at present, at least.
