national draft lottery.
No. 246 was the first to come out OF
the bowl, drawn by Secretary OF war
Baker, and the second and third num-
bers were loss and s1s respectively
While 1 200 numbers were drawn in all
Iowa was interested only in those under

ton in that state was the 27o recoroeo
in Lee county.
Events of a little less than year ago
were repeated as from q large glass
bowl in the senate office building were

OF the little capsules from the bow y !,

:. The setting Of the lottery was re-
plica OF that Of July go last, when the
drawing OF 10000 numbers determined
the liability for service Of approximate :
" 10 00O, 900 men. In the. country at
large there was little of the excitement
that attended the first drawing.
-
Today's drawing was to determine
only the relative summoning Of the new
reg:strants as finally classified under
the QUESTIONABLE system. The regis
trants have not been classified as yet,
and the drawing today Is therefore
somewhat indefinite.
All the youths will be assigned to the
various five classes on the basis OF
furnished in the question
naires. The new resigistrants, wneh
classified will be put at the foot OF the
lists in their districts in the order In
which their numbers are drawn today
The first few numbers were taken
from the bowl shortly after $3.50 o'clock
by Secretary Baker. Later attaches OF
the office Of Provost Marshal General
Crowder were blindfolded and with
drew the CAPSULES
AS the numbers were withdrawn they
were announced and written on a large
blackboard. When the board was filled
1t was removed and photographed and
another board substituted.
In comparison to the 10000 numbers
Required to be drawn a year ago only
1 200 numbers were drawn today. The
district having the largest number OF
men to register June reported some-
what less than 1000 registrants To
provide for late registrants and emer-
gencies it was decided to draw 1900
numbers. R
Official lists Of the numbers as draYr
will be sent to all local draft boards to
be used in placing the men when the
questionnaires have been returned.
