IOrirTXMA-'Presimrimon Addresses Reply to HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH M siUBLIC Men Having Serial Designa tions May Find Their Places on List The Harrisburg Telegraph prints a list of all the serial numbers of the new draft for the central Penn sylvania district, showing the order in which they were drawn in Wash ington. The master list, made public from Washington to-aay, contains 17,000 numbers because somewhere in the United "States there is a local draft board having that many registrants. But as the largest number of regis trants in any local division in or near Harrisburg is four thousand odd, the drawings above that llgure may be disregarded here. All the numbers higher than the total number of men registered with your local board will be considered blanks by that board. Each registrant should ascertain from his local board how many men it has registered. Then, by taking the subjoined list and drawing a pencil through all the numbers larg er than that total the registrant will be able to tell exactly what his call number is; In other words, he can find out how many men will be sum moned for examination before he is called. This is the list: read across the lines, not down the columns, to as certain the order of the drawing: strike out all numbers that are high er than the total number of regis trants in your local until you come to your own serial number." The cross heads—"first hundred" and so on— are Inserted before each block of 100 serial numbers for the reader's con venience. Only 1,480 American Fighters in Hun Prisons Washington, Oct.
