Only First 100 Numbers Drawn to Be Telegraph ed; Others Mailed to

Washington, Sept. 27.-Drawing of the master numbers which will de- terfine the order of their respective classes of the 13,0O0,OO0 men who registered for military service Sept 12, will begin at noon next Monday and continue without interruption un- til the 17,000 capsules have been talk en from the bowl
 Officials estimate that it will re- quire twenty six hours to complete the work.
 Because of the classification sys- tenn, this drawing-the third since the nation went into the war-will not have the significance that attach ed to the first lottery last year when order numbers were assigned 9,OO0.- 900 men.
 Unless the War Department chan ges it's plan of calling registrants and invades the deferred classifica- tions, the numbers to be drawn will affect only those men of the new drat ages who are physical fit for military service and are not given de- erred classification because of de- pendents or occupation
 First 100 Numbers.
 In announcing the drawing today General Crowder said that only the first 100 numbers will telegraphed over the country.
 The others will be mailed to the district draft boards as the drawing proceeds and will be made public by the boards as rapidly as they are re- ceived.

emily 10 illuminate and corroborate this
statement. these aggregate percent
ages indicate that for a long period Of
