The national lottery which, in
measure, will determine the order
the calling of the 100000 men b
J tween Is and As years of age w
registered Sept IL, probably will n
be held before next week.

OF to have been abandoned in order til
additional time may be given lo'
boards to correct any errors made

formed. :,
The processes of induction will
the same as as they are now into

greater drain on the men of Me-
county. This induction under the
lective service act takes the place
volunteering for the navy and mari
The board will hereafter disting
the calls for the various branche

orders. A standing for army, N st
ing for navy, and M for marines
