GREAT HUMAN LOTTERY OPENS
TO SELECT PATRIOTS WHO WILL
DEFEND NATION IN WORLD WAR
- . . .... . ....
John Karns, Married, Living at 1806 North Seventeenth
Street, is First Man Drawn in Omaha; Draft
ing Begins on Time in Washington;
Intense Interest Shown.
Yesterday was a day unique in the history of Omaha as it
was unique in the history of this great republic. - It was the day
when fate and destiny determined which of the 20,000-odd
young men who registered for the selective draft in Omaha and
Douglas county shall have the honor of belonging to Uncle
Sam's first great army of more 'Than 600,000.
Only a comparative few of the men who registered will be
chosen for this first army. Omaha is to furnish 1,181 and
uougias county outside ot omaha.y
218. , The state will furnish 8.185
Excitement was apparent in Omaha
early. The newspaper offices re
; ceived calls by 'phone from young
men ' and from mothers and others
who sought news of the progress of
the draft. The office of Election
Commissioner Moorhead in the
court, house was an extremely, busy
place. ! There the great tq&UC of 20,
000 names is on file and there a large
force of clerks was at work tabulating
the names s they came in. -
DRAWING STARTS ON TIME.
The drawing in Washington" started
at 9:30 a. m., which is 8:30 a. m.
Omaha time. The first - number
drawn was reported in Omaha over
the Associated Press wires shortly
before 9 o'clock. It was No. 258.
The great human lottery, was the
one topic of conversation in every part
of the city. And what could possibly
be more interesting? An event in
which the drawing of a number by a
blindfolded man in Washington de
termines whether a young man shall
remain at home and go about his or
dinary occupations or whether he shall
drop all this and shall don the khaki
and march away to cantonments and
learn the art of war and pehaps go .to
foreign lands to become a hero in
the greatest war of all the ages.
Great Human Lottery.
Never did so much depend on the
drawing in a lottery. Never was there
such a just lottery created. For blind
chance or the destiny tha shapes our
ends working through the agency of
the blindfolded men in the room in
the United States senate office build
ing chose the men for the great army
with perfect democracy, absolute
justice without fear or favor, from
rich and poor, high and low, white
and black. The old complaints ot
"pull" and "graft" can never be made
in connection with this unprecedented
drawing. ; . .
And the young men, as they learned
that their names had." been drawn 1
What of. them? .Well, over them
seemed to come a chango as they
realized the die was cast. Doubt was
cast aside. Their futures were marked
out for tliem and there was observable
throwing back of the shoulders a
setting of the jaws, a real American
determination to see it through.
There came a new realization that
it is a fiigh honor to belong to this
army, to have been chosen by destiny
to be a soldier of freedom. It is an
honor that the descendants of these
men will boast of to many genera
tions. ' '. ; ' '
The first number is 258.
The second number is 2,522. -

JOHN EARNS; FIRST MAN
DRAWN IN OMAHA.
John Karns, 1806 North Seventeenth
street, the first man to be selected by
draft in Omaha, was sitting at home
putting on his shoes, entirely uncon
scious of his fate, when a reporter for
The Bee reached his residence. When
asked how he felt about the draft he
only laughed, but his wife said:"I
don't like my old man' to be drafted,
they ought to make these single men
go." Karns has a family of several
small children, the youngest, a babe
in. arms.

BULLETIN. . x
Washington, July 20. The 7,000 mark was passed in the
drawing shortly before 9 o'clock tonight and the speed of the
process had been increased to about fifteen numbers a minute.
At that rate the drawing would be finished by shortly after
midnight.
x Washington, July 20. The great lottery to fix the order
of liability for military service of each of the 10,000,000 men of
the United States registered for the war began at 9:45 o'clock
this morning. By some time tonight every man will know
whether he is among the .first 1,370,000 to be called before local
exemption boards.
From the 1,370,000 the boards are to select 687,000 for
America's first draft army of 500,000 and to fill up vacancies
in the National Guard and the regular army.
In a committee room of the senate office building, with rep
resentatives of the press present, War department officials and
members of the senate and house military committees began the
drawing of 10,500 slips bearing numbers corresponding with
the serial numbers of each registrant in the largest district in
the country.. h ? ' !
$ Secretary Baker was the first man
to withdraw a capsule-enclosed clip
from a great glass bowl. ' Blindfolded,
he drew No. 28.
Chairman Chamberlain of the sen
ate military committee drew the sec
ond, number, 2,522. : Chairman Dent
of the house military committee with
drew the third number, 9,613. .
Senator Warren snd Representative ,
Kihiw rsnking minority membefs cT"
the Senate snd the house military
committees,' drew the next two num
bers, ,4.532 and 1018.
J r TELLERS TAKE CHARGE.
.'; The drafting was then turned over
to the appointed tellers, who, blind
folded, took from the bowl numbers as
fait as the announcer and the tally
clerks could keep pace. .
; They drew the numbers from s
high, wide-mouthed bowl pet on an
oak table in front of the tally clerks'
desk. The bits of paper, blackened
on the back so that from the outside
none could determine the numbers
stamped thereon, were curled into gel
atine capsules.

districts by Commissioner Moorhead
