The Next Moves In die Draft
Of Uncle Sam's Big New Army
Time Who Were Called first Maiij Anxious toGet to France.
Received the New* In i One Bet That He Wonld Be

IN one of the Urge newspaper offices
of the country a Hnotypcr TU ham-1

the keyboard in front of him. No

numbers corresponded to tboae con-1
talned In the little capsizes which
were drawn from tbe huge bowl in
Washington.
As fust the numbers were pulled
in Washington they were sent by wire
over the country and bulletined on1
store fronts. In hotels and ctoewhwi
in public rlew. Apparently many cities 1
abandoned work' for the fascinating
sensation of following the progress ot
the oue lottery wblcb has legal sanc
tion. Except for Utlng InwwiMurably
more Important and awtooj, it wm HM
<1 rawing, were all opposed to the selec
tive draft They came to lend their
presence to the occasion as a testi
monial that they believed the drawing
to be fair and square, even though they
opposed tile system.
There were a score or more of young
men in the room, actfroly taking part
in the drawing or reporting the results,
Wbo were numbered In the black cap
roles }n the big Jar. One of the war
department clerks, standing blindfold
ed at the Jar, drew out his own num
ber, but did not know It until he heard
tbe announcement A faint smile flut
tered across his lips, but his hand dip
ped a$*ln Koto, the Jar with the clock
like regularity that had come of prac
tice, and he beard some other fellow's
number called when he handed the
next capsule to the announcer.
One of the young men at the press
tfthVw, witting down the numbers and
pdSfliif them oo to ft telegraph oper
ator, mechanically took down a num
ber as U was announced. "That*s me,"
be said as be passed the number across
MAY YET VOLUNTEER.
Any one of the 9,700,000 young
men who were drawn for army
service may yet enlist In the reg
ular army, the national guard,
the navy or the marine corps and
automatically pass from the list
of conscripted persons.
This right will pass from the
individual the minute he receives
by mail the official notice from
his local board to present him
self for examination.
If he volunteers before getting
this notice ho can pick hit
branch of the service.
If he is taken under the selec
tive draft he will be assigned to
any branch the government des
ignates, without his assont.

to be blank, the first to be found thus
far in the drawing. The fact was
noted on tally sheets before a new 10,
004 was drawn.
Fixing Quotas Next Step.
For the benefit of those who now have
their numbers and know about the or
der in which they are likely to be called
for examination under the selective
draft law it may be stated that the nest
official move to be made, according to
the regulations, is:
The determination by the governor of
the quotas to be called and furnished
by the several local boards.
This will determine how many men
from your district must go into the
Photo br Jktotlaan Pmn Association.
SECRETARY BAKER DRAWING THE FIRST NUMBER.
keeping track of t world's series gam*
on a bulletin board. Most persona, par
ticularly those whose low numbers la
the drawing made the call for their ex
amination for the draft A certainty, be
haved soberly.
Here and there was a young patriot
go anxious to get to France for a
whack at the foe that he laughed ff
ultautly and ev.es bragged about hi#
number being among the oarBest
drawn. There is even one record In
stance of a man who wanted so to be
conscripted and was so sure he would t
be that he bad made a bet that his
number would be the first one oat of I
the globe at Washington. With the
odds 10,490 to 1 against him he won.
His number waa 258. He threw sp
his hat and went home to break the
good news to his father. This man,
who may fairly be called .as happy a#
any In New York today, has not a
l'ankee name. He Is Nlcolo Scoteiarto,
a medical student, twenty-two years
old.
The lottery was held In the public
hearing room of the senate office build
ing, with war department officials to'
charge of the actual drawing and with
members of the senate and house mili
tary affairs committees a* witnesses.
Through the day there was a small
crowd of spectators, .■but ^together
probably less than e thousand persona
saw any port of ,the process.
To Gall 1,374,000 At Once.
As a result of the drawing e*ery
registered man Is given a definite place
In the liability for service list Al
ready 687,000 have been ordered to the
colors to fill to war strength the reg-,
ulor army and national guard and to
constitute the first increment of the!
national army. Tp secure the total,
1,374,000 men will be called for ex
amination within a few weeks, officials
estimating that two .registrants muat
be called for every soldier accepted.
These 1,374,000 will be taken from the
head of the liability list, every local1
district furnishing a fixed quota.
Many Dramatic Incidents.
There were many intimate and dra-1
matic episodes in the drawing. In the
first place, Representatives Dent, Gor
don, Nicholls, Garrett and Morin, mem
bers of the military affairs committee,
who witnessed the first stages of the
the table, and his pencil was busy
again on his pad of paper In a fraction
of a second.
The revised system of drawing and
the fact that the first numbers drawn
Speared to run to the highest numbers
left the first call In doubt up until a
late hour. The higher numbers drew
only a few men into the service, while
the lower numbers brought In at least
i500. By 8 o'clock, however, there
was no longer doubt that the number
then being drawn would not be includ
ed In the first levy, and those keeping
track of the tally sheets knew about
where the young men in whom they
were Interested stood in the draft.
No. 1 Causes Interest.
There was a great deal of Interest
over No. 1 and when It would come
001 of the jar in the gamble for mili
tary service Jfor flag and country. It
was the four thousand two hundred
and sixty-ninth number drawn, and it
la probable that none of the No. l's—a
caxd held In every one of the 4,557
districts of the country—will be called
In the £rst draft.
Some Interesting Incidents.
?A)x, wool, it's the furst tbot cooms

declared Walter J. Hltchlns, a canny
8ooteman, twenty-nine, of Brooklyn,'
when he learned his number was select

draft in Brooklyn.

went on to say, but he explained he

There to no prouder mother than the
mother of Joseph E. Raab of Brooklyn,
whose name was first also. She said:
"My boy Joseph is Just twenty-one
years old, but he is ready to go. I've
kept bim home as long as I could be
causo his older brother, John, is already
in the guard, a member of the Seventh
regiment
"St you believe *ne, he is the real
apple of my eye."
One plank Discovered.
When the ten thousand and fourth
draft capsule was drawn it was found
service. The possibility of exemptions
will necessitate the examination of two
or three times as many meu as are
needed.
The war department's bulletin for the
Information of registrants says:
As soon as quotas are assigned to
each state and each board, ouch board
will call upon persons whose cards are
•in its Jurisdiction instructing them to
present themselves for examination.
This call will be j>osted at the office of
the local board ami the papers will be
requested to print it. A notice will also
be mailed to you, but the posting of the
list at the olflce of the board will be
deemed sufficient notice to charge you
with the duty of presenting yoursell
The law therefore makes it your duty
to inform yourself when you are called.
The mailing is for your convenience, but
if the letter never reaches you you can
not make that an excuse.
Watch the lists at the office of your
board and see when you are called for
examination.
You must report for physical exam
ination on the day named in your call.
(a) If you are found physically dis
qualified the board will give you a cer
tificate which will explain to you what
your further duties are.
(b) If you nre found physically qual
ified and file a claim for exemption
within seven days after your call you
will be given ten days after filing your
claim of exemption to file proof in sup
port of your claim of exemption.
(c) If you are found physically qual
ified and file no claim for exemption
or if you do not appear for physical
examination your name ■will be posted
to the district board as one who was
called for military service and was not
exempted or discharged.
On the eighth day after call or with
in two days thereafter copies of the
list of persons so posted to the district
boards will be given to the pres9 with
a request for publication, will be post
ed in a place at the office of the local
board accessible to the public view,
and notice will be mailed to you at
the address on your registration card.
Therefore watch the notices posted
in the office of the board about tea
days after the day you were called
and make arrangements for the prompt
receipt of mail.
The above instructions from the •war
department therefore put It up to yon.
