Numbers Drawn For
Draft Mean Little Until
Classification Is Made

Men who registered June 3 of this
year as being 21 years of age are
to-day sending back to the local
draft boards their questionnaires
Others who did not receive their
blanks until yesterday afternoon will
not do so until they have been ad-
vised by lawyers. who will give their
services free to those not clear as to
just how they should answer all the
questions
Until the local boards receive these
missionaries and classify the regis
trants according to their answers,
the order in which the men will go
into service cannot be ascertained.
The names of these drawn yester-
day will be placed at the bottom of
the first draft list. each according to
his class, so that it will not be pos
sible for any of those drawn yester-
day who may be placed in the first
class to be called for duty until all
of the men in the first class under
the first draft are drawn for service,
which means that few if any will be
summoned for the next two or three
months.
Men who tried last night to find
tSokes, of New York, representing the
bers drawn yesterday were entirely
at a loss. The only way this can be
ascertained is after the questionnaires
are all filed with the local boards
and the classifications made. Then
by counting all the men in the first
class down to their own names the
order of the registrants may be
found This will require a week or
