additions to the army by the end OF the
year.
me total Of these to come from
the District cannot now be stated
1t is known, however, that up to the
end of the July takings, SO far as
already made public, the District will
have sent into the army through the
selective draft about 1900 men. The
enlistments in the army, navy, and
marine corps, added to the draft men,
will bring the Districts total to be-
tween 1900 and 10000 men
Not Their Exact Order.
June registrants should bear in
mind that their liability OF being
called to the colors is not determined
by the order of the numbers drawn
for them in today's lottery. They
may not be called to service In that
order. This order will be determined
only after the registrants have been
placed in their proper classes, follow
ing the analysis of their question
naires.
For instance, in the case Of No.
lottery number drawn today-Eos. 1,
2, and Z may be placed in class /,
No. 6 in class ., No. 8 In class 3, and
Nos. 3 and in class 4. In that case,
No. would be the third man called
into service, and No. 6 would be the
hrst man of class . called after class
1 had been utterly exhausted.
Each division Of the local board in
itself is a complete UNIT OF the Sc
lective service law operation, and
manages the disposition OF the per-
sons registered without reference to
other divisions.
No. 25S, the first pellet drawn in the
draft lottery eleven months ago,
was relegated to the sixth hundred and
position in today's list
Secretary of War Baker drew the cap
sule from the bowl last year. More than
loo men holding the registration No.
IS were the first called up for examina-
ton before the local draft boards. Pick
Ing even numbers apparently is easy for
the War Secretary, who drew 246 in the
new lottery today. II was Major Billie"
Welborn who took the Hateful" number
from the bowl this morning. Registrars
listed as No. by their boards were
placed in the sixth hundred and forty

MUCH WORK FOR y
AMERICAN RED CROSS. y
|. !. u. \. !. !. !. !. !. y. !. y

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ et> ste ~ Ais -
The American Red Cross is being
called upon to do many things not
contemplated at the time Of it's Or
ganization. The old idea that the
Red Cross is associated exclusively
with hospital work, and with provid-
ing healthful comforts and necessi-
ties for soldiers, such as sweaters,
kits, etc, is entirely erroneous. TO
be sure these are undertakings,
within themselves, Of gigantic pro-
portions. The Red Cross is as essen
tial on the battlefield, in the camps,
and in every zone Of military activ-
lty, as medicine and surgery are es-
scntial in the treatment Of the sick
and wounded; but the eXigencies Of
war have increased the demands
upon it. And now it is entering upon
one OF the greatest Of its many un-
dertakings-organized home service.
How essential it is to keep the mo-
rale Of the soldier son or husband or
brother to it's most effective point by
that peace of mind that comes from
the knowledge that "all is we'll" at
home.
And how encouraging to the loved
ones behind to know that the boy at
the front is IN touch with his home,
and Is kept in close communion with
the ties that bind as only blood ties
do. And the Red Cross is now un-
dertaking to become the connecting
link between these two ends; not
only that, but to see that the home is
protected, and that the cares and re-
sponsibilities Of dependents who are
helpless or inexperienced shall be
lightened.
1t is an enormous undertaking,
viewed from the scope Of it's individ-
ualism, but nothing is too big for the
American Red Cross. There is no
undertaking arising out Of this world
war that it is not meeting and mas
tering.
