Washington; June 27.—The drawing of numbers to determine the order In which youths of the classes of IS18 will ba called into military service was conducted here today with much the same ceremony that marked Lite great drawing of a year ago. This time, however, it was a much i smaller affair aid in view of the fact that the classification system more nearly determines the order of service than does the actual numerical order, it was not surrounded with such dra matic interest. - The drawing was held in the great conference room of the Senate office building with Secret at y Baker blind folded taking the first gelatine capsule. I with a number enclosed, from the glass bowl. It was number SIC. Numbers 1168 ai^d SIS were the second and third, t respectively and thus the drawing eon - i tinued to the end. Big blackboards for cheeking Hie j record were placed against t'oe wall at the rear of the room. The numbers were written on the board as drawn and then the board was photographed to make a permanent, incontrovertible .record. Secretary Baker, General March, •chief of staff, Provost Marshal General Crowder. Chairman Chamberlain and •member* of the Senate military com mittees of the members of the. House military committe stood about the table as the firs; number.-! wore drawn. After Secretary Baker hc.d taken out the first capsule. Senators Chamberlain .and Warren, Representatives Dent and Kahn, Generals March, Crowder, Col - onels Charles B. Warren and J. S. Easby-Smith and -MaJ. J. C. Cramer in order stepped up to dray. MaJ.
