Nations War Lottery
 For This Year Glass
 Drawn in Washington
1continued Froln Paee onel.

(Continued From Page One) Secretary Baker, members of the senate and house military committees and other high government officials witnessed the drawing by blindfolded men of the little capsules from the | bowl, Teach of the capsules containing master number" to be applied in the 4,5OO registration districts of the country according to the total regis tration.
 The setting for the lottery was a replica of that of July 20 last when
 the drawing of 10,500 numbers deter mined the liability for service of ap- proximately 10,000,000 men. In the country at large there was little of the excitement that attended the first
 drawing. A year of war had served
 to calm the American people, The lack of excitement however was largely occasioned by the fact that today's drawing was fraught with only slight significance, because of the suestionnaire method of classification.
 Today's drawing was to determine
 only the relative summoning to the
 colors of the new registrants as finally classified by the local boards under the questionable system All of the
 youths whose number were drawn to-
 day will be assigned to the various
 five classes on the basis of informa-
 ton furnished in the questionnaires
 now being mailed to them. The new
 registrants will be placed at the foot
 of the list in each class in their re- spective districts in the order in which
 their numbers are drawn today. In that respect only will today's drawing affect the registrants.
 1 Statements made recently by Pro-
 vost Marshal General Crowder and Secretary Baker indicate that all of
 the new registants placed in class
 will be called before the end of the
 year. Accordingly not more than a
 few months will elapse at the most between the calling of men in class 1 whose numbers are among those
 drawn first and those whose numbers
 are among the last to be taken from
 the bowl.
 The first few numbers to be drawn
 were taken from the bowl shortly after
 9:30 o'clock by Secretary Baker.
 Later, attaches of the office of the provost marshal general were blind
 folded and withdrew the capsules from the bowl. As the numbers were drawn
 they were announced and written on
 large blackboard. When the black
 board was filled it was removed to be photographed and another was sub
 stituted This operation was repeated during the more than three hours re- quired for the drawing. Tn comma 500 numbers required to be drawn year ago, only 1900 numbers were drawn today. The district having the largest number, of men to register on June = reported somewhat less than 1, 900 reg istrants. To provide for late regis trants and emergencies it was decided to draw 1900 numbers. In the larger l number of the districts. however, only l the lower numbers will apply.
 Official lists of the numbers aE r drawn based on the photographs talk Q en of the blackboards will be sent 0 within few days to all local draft ] boards to be used in placing the mer
 when the questionnaires have been re.
 turned.
 The master numbers drawn today
 apply to the numbers on the registra-
 tion cards of the registrants. In the
 drawing of a year ago serial number! \ were assigned, but this was deemed
 unnecessary in the present drawing
 because of the fewer registrants ant
 of the less importance attached to tho
 order in which the numbers are - drawn.
