PLANS FOR DRAFT ARE ANNOUNCED (Continued From First Page) aerial number as the first to appear before his board. In the district with only 185 registrants, the 185 will be liable for appearance In the order in which their numbers are drawn, and when a number higher than that appears the district of course will not be affected. Method Fair Application of the master key makes it'possible to apply fairly each of the one thousand numbers drawn to districts with more than one thou sand registrants. As a number is drawn it will be added to each of the thousands in excess of one thousand |in each district. B, For instance, if 25 is the first num ber drawn it will represent 25, 1025, 2025. 3025, 4025, 5025, 6025, 7025, 8025, 9025 and 10025. By applying the master key the order in which these numbers will be listed in each district will be de termined. If the drawing of eleven numbers for the key should result this way: 9, 7, 1, 5, 10, 2, 3, 0, 8, 4, 6. How to Appear Then the drawing of 25 as the first number of the thousand would fix the first men to appear before the exemption boards in this order: 9025, 7025, 1025, 5025, 10,025, 2025, 3025, 25, 8025,4025 and 6025. The district with more than nine thousand registrants thus will have ten of its men assigned to their places at the head of its list, with 9,025 on top. The district with less than one tnousand men will have one, number 25, at the head of its list. This process will be continued until every man of the ten million has been assigned his place on the roster of his district. In his explanation of the process and of the reason for fixing the order of liability for all of the men when only 687,000 are needed, General Crowder says: Order of Examination "If we were dealing with the an cient draft, we should take every fourteenth nian. But we are not con scripting. We are selecting for mili tary service those whose civil service can best be spared. Therefore the question is not 'Who shall go first?' but 'Who shall be first called up for examination?' and what we must do is to make a list showing the order of examination. "Now no one knows how many men must be examined to yield 687,000 sol diers. Therefore, no one can say just how many men it is absolutely neces sary to put on this list. "A moment's reflection will prove that the whole 10,000,000 must be given their places on the list of 'or der of examination.' Mnte of Uncertainty "Every registered man is in a state of uncertainty. He does not know when he will be called. He hesitates to plant a crop for fear he will not reap it. Employers hesitate to en gage his services, fearing they will be but temporary. This condition ought to be cured for the repose or the public mind. It can be cured to some extent by putting every man on the list. "For this reason the whole 10,000,- 000 names are to be given places on the list of order of examination. SeKregntictn Into Gronpa "Obviously no single agency could examine 10,000,000 men. Therefore, the ten million are segregated into groups of suitable size for convenient examination. There are 4,557 of these groups. For each group a board has been appointed to examine for selec tion. By far the greater number of these groups consist of approximately three thousand men. "Since this is so, our problem is |yit to put the whole ten million Auto Road Map Free Mailed on Request.

Necessity For Drawing "Since all registered men stand in an equality of right and duty, the question of priority can only be de termined by lot or drawing. It would be possible to have 4,557 sepa rate drawings—one for each group— but since methods would vary and since supervision and absolute insur ance against the charge of fraudu lent manipulation could not be had in that way, every consideration of expediency and justice urges one drawing in Washington. Method For the Drawing "In each group, every registration card has a red-inked number written on its face and these numbers run in a single series from unity (1) to the number corresponding to the greatest number of cards in the group. Normally this is from unity (1) to about 3,000. "Exact copies of the cards in each group have been attested and sent to the various state capitols. Lists showing the name of each man in each group and the serial number of his card have been posted in the office of the board, published in the press, and one copy is on file in Washing ton. There is, therefore, no chance or any man's number being changed i without detection, or of any card be ing lost beyond replacement. The Ideu wf Central Drnnlmt "Suppose there were just 3.000 names and numbers in every group. It is at once apparent that it would be a very simple thing to have a cen tral drawing that would control the order of every name and number in every group of thp whole ten million —Just put 3,000 numbers into a bowl and draw them out one at a time. ] The first number drawn out would place the 4,417 cards bearing that | particular number at the head of I every list In the United States. The second "number drawn would put the cards bearing that number second on all the lists, and so forth. "Now, the thing cannot be done I in precisely this way, because there | are not precisely three thousand num bers in every group. But the same idea with a few necessary modifica tions is the idea on which the pres ent drawing is based. The Dranlni; by Thousands "To draw ten thousand separate numbers would take ten hours and would multiply the chance of error. Moreover, if the '9-thousands', the 'B-thousands', the '7-thousands' and the '6-thousands' were scattered all over the master list indiscriminately the cancellation by boards having small groups would be very tedious and would open the way to numerous errors. All this is easily avoided. Suppose we draw only one thousand numbers. We could then provide that the drawing of the number 878 would also draw the numbers 1878, 2878, 3878, 4878, 5878, 6878, 7878, 8878 and 9878. "In that way only one thousand numbers need be drawn, and by mak ing our master list consist of one sheet for each one thousand we could | provide a master list easily applicable I to lists with only 3,000 numbers, since such boards could disregard all ex cept the first three sheets. An Even Chaifcc "We should do this but for the fact that this makes it certain that men in the first thousand would be called first, men in the second thousand next, and men with high serial num bers last of all. "Since the assignment of numbers is also done by chance, this does not interfere very greatly with the even chance of all men, but it does inter fere to some extent. For this reason it was decided to have one drawing to determine the order within any group of 1,000 and another drawing to determine the order in which the sheets of 1,000 each should appear on the master list, instead of arbitrarily assigning the sheets of 1,000 in their natural order. This reduces the whole matter to an absolute equality of chance. The Details of the Drawing "One group of numbers, from 1 to 1,000, and a second group, from 0 to 9, have been carefully imprinted on opaque slips of paper, black on one side, counted and checked. These slips have been rolled up and each put inside a gelatin capsule with the black side out. To insure absolute accuracy of count, the capsules con taining numbers from 1 to 1,000 have been counted into ten %rlass jars in groups of 100 each; the glass jars have been sealed and kept in a safe awaiting the day of drawing. "The contents of the jars will be decanted into a large glass receptacle from which the capsules can be read ily drawn. "A blindfolded man will stir the capsules in the receptacle thoroughly before any are drawn, and will keep stirring them during the drawing. To line Blindfolds "A blindfolded man will then draw capsules out one at a time. As each capsule is drawn it will be handed to an announcer, who will break the capsule and announce the number drawn. While he is announcing the number, a second capsule will be drawn and handed to a second an nouncer, who will break the capsule and read the number. The drawing will proceed in this way until all the capsules are drawn. "Three tally sheets will be kept. One keeper of a tally sheet will re peat each number as it is announced, and all will write it down. In case of disagreement between tally sheets on any number, the sheets that agree will control. "Immediately before the drawing of the numbers from 1 to V>oo, the drawing of the numbers from 0 to 0 will take place to determine the order in which the thousands shall appear on the master lists." War Department to Make Drawing For New Army Tomorrow By Associated Press Washington, July 19.—War De partment officials were confident to day that the lottery for the selec tion of registrants for the new na tional army will be held to-morrow. Three States, New Tork, Pennsylva nia and Michigan, have yet failed to announce completion of local ex emption machinery, but returns are expected by to-night. The drawing, according to present plans, will be held at the Capitol with members of the Senate and House Military Committees as wit nesses. The identity of the person who is to draw the numbers has not yet been divulged, but prevalent re ports credit the duty to Secretary Baker. Rehearsals of the drawing held under the supervision of Pro vost Marshal General Crowder Indi cated that the proceeding will be completed in about an hour. Press associaUons and telegraph companies are to-day completing final details of the methods to be used in flashing the news of the lot tery to all sections of the country. Special efforts are being made to insure both speed and accuracy in transmission.
