WASHINGTON, July 12. Drawing of
lots for the selective draft not only
will determine what men are to be
called to the colors in the first war
Army but will show in what order the
others registered will be liable for
service when later armies are organ
lzed. ' Definite place in the waiting lists
will be given every one of the millions
who registered. Those standing at the
head of tne list in each county of city
district will be called first before the
examining boards and then the obliga
tion will pass on down the line as long
as men are needed.
This does not mean that a separate
name or number will be drawn for
every one of the country's 9,800,000 reg
istrants. In fact every number drawn,
under the theory of the plan, will rep
resent more than 4000 men, one for
each of the registration districts. De
tails of the system have not been made
public, but an outline of its principal
features follows:
Every Registration. Board has num
bered the cards in its possession in
red ink, beginning at number one and
continuing to a number corresponding
with the total in the district.
Every Number Will Be Drawn.
At the drawing numbers will be used
ranging from No. 1 to a number corre
sponding to the total in the largest
district of the country.
The first number drawn will deter
mine what man in each district Is to be
taken first. If It be No. 10, for exam
ple, it will mean that the man in each
district holding local card No. 10 will
be called for examination before any of
the other men in that district.
The second number drawn will deter
mine what man In each district Is to
be taken second, and so on, as long as
men are needed. Those not needed for
the first war array will retain their po
sitions on the list, and these positions
will determine the order of their liabil
ity when they are needed.
The drawing will be public, and each
number will be announced as it is
drawn. At the offices of most local ex
emption boards the red ink numbers of
the registrants already are posted, so
that registrants may Inform themselves
beforehand of their respective numbers.
Small Districts Will Have Blanks.
Obviously there will be high num
bers drawn for which there are no cor
responding registrants in small dis
tricts. The smallest district in the
country is understood to have but 187
registrants and the largest about 7000.
Whenever a number beyond the total
in any given district comes out It will
operate as a blank for that district.
Thus if the theory works out evenly
the larger districts will be constantly
assessed in excess of the smaller on a
pro rata basis corresponding to their
size.
Only 24 states have completed the
organization of their exemption boards
and the posting of red ink numbers.
The drawing cannot be held until all
states are conrplete, so that no juggling
of numbers will be possible.
The drawing probably will be held
during the week of July 23 In the big
reception room of the War Department
adjoining Secretary Baker's offices.
Officials are unwilling to disclose
the details, but the suggestion which
seems to have the most support Is that
the numbers, stamped on thin slips of
paper be inclosed in non-transparent
(telatin capsules and placed In a large
glass vessel to be removed one at a
time.
7000 Capsules Will Be I'sed.
The number of capsules which would
necessary .will be equal to the to
tal in the largest district. Thus, under
the present arrangement, 7000 num
bers would have to be drawn. Informa
tion so far available indicated that the
drawing will work out in this way:
There are 4550 exemption districts.
When the first number is drawn say
No. 10 it will be recorded as number
one with the serial number (lj) follow
ing. The record would show that the
man whose card bears the serial num-
Der 10 in eacn or the 4ja0 exemption
districts would be first to appear be
fore the exemption boards. Presum
ably the announcement made at the
drawing would be No. 1, serial No. 10.

Vanguard of State Meeting Is
Reaching Pendleton.
PROBLEMS TO BE FACED
Addresses by Newspapermen on Vari
ous Phases of Business Will Be
on Programme Train Char
tered for Take Trip.
Representatives of all the. wooden
shipbuilding plants in Portland met In
the Multnomah Hotel last night with
a big group of calkers to discuss the
probable shortage in experienced' calk
ers which Is expected to develop as
soon as the wooden-snip Industry
reaches Its maximum proportions
within the next two or three months.
The upshot of the meeting was that
the officers of the Calkers' Union
agreed immediately to send to the East
and to other parts of the country to
get enough men to man the local yards.
The shipbuilders say that they are
able to get fewer than 100 experienced
calkers in Portland. Their require
ments in the next IS months will be
for at least 500 men.
Calkers now are getting from 16.50
to J7 & day. There Is much competition
among the yards to get the men and the
price gradually Is increasing.
The shipbuilders would gladly take
on apprentices to learn the trade, but
the union rules limit the number of
apprentices to a proportion fixed by
the number of experienced men on the
job.
The operators said last night that
they will hire all the men the union
officials here will bring ln, as long as
they are capable calkers.
Some of the vessels under construe
tion are being built on Government con
tract and It is anticipated that if delay
is occasioned through inability- to get
the men. Federal officials will step in
and insist that apprentices be per
mitted to work.
NIGHT SCHOOL HAS VALUE
Aid to Immigrant Seeking Citizen
ship Is Plainly Set Forth.
an attempt to harmonise the differences
between the Tacoma Railway : Power
Company and the newly organised
union of its employes was taken today.
This is an indication of the gravity of
the situation, which is admitted by
both sides to be serious. The Council
requested L. H. Bean, general manager
of the company, to state the company's
side of the case and at the same time
will take the matter up with the car
men. Meanwhile the carmen are continuing
the work of completing their organiza
tion and making quiet preparations for
a strike unless the company meets their
demands. While no official announce
ment of strike action has been taken,
it is said that the matter will be put to
a vote at a general meeting of the car
men Friday night.
The men demand reinstatement of
10 old employes dropped because of
their activity in forming a union. The
company has refused to comply.
SUFFRAGE DAY IS HERE
How the night school has aided the
immigrant seeking citizenship in the
Union was explained yesterday by I. B.
Morgan, principal of the Continuation
tachool, of Kansas City, before the citi
zenship conference at the First Pres
byterian Church.
'Obstacles to be overcome,' he said,
are working overtime, which was very
much in evidence the past year and
will be more so the coming year. To
meet this classes will be held Sunday
afternoons.
"Second, the night school, being too
far from the home of the immigrant,
is being obviated by placing the school
in the foreign settlement.
"Third, timidity, indifference and
dissipation must be counteracted by
legislative enactments and proper in
fluence of the man who holds the
purse. "

dependent relative and that relative
should die or become self-supporting
before the second call, the registrant

First Batch of 50 Buildings on
South Side of Cantonment Put
Under Way Greater Railroad
Service for Post Promised.
TACOMA, Wash.. July 12. (Special.)
Start of work on the first unit of BO
buildings on the south side of the
American Lake cantonment, assurances
that the lumber shortage Is a thing of
the past, digging of the trenches for
the permanent water system, expansion
of the railroad construction work and
continued progress on the first group
of barracks for workmen were the
outstanding features at the Army post
today.
Greater care will be taken in the se
lection of lumber, as many carloads
have been rejected by Government in
spectors. There has been a hint that
the mills were cutting private orders
and were sending the Government what
was available from stocks.
With the completion of the barracks
now under way on the north side of the
lake and those started on the south
side, the number of workmen will
be Increased. It Is the plan of the
contractors to have fully 1500 carpen
ters at work as soon as possible. In
addition to the thousands of other
workmen employed on the various
projects of the cantonment construc
tion programme.
Rapid progress Is being made by ra'l-
road construction gangs on both sides
of tne cantonment. Paralleling the
railroad beyond the barracks surveyors
are busy staking out additional build
ings and carpenters are preparing to
build the foundations. On two of the
group of 16 barracks everything is in
readiness for laying the patented roof
ing, while the others are in various
stages of construction.
Start on the road-building pro
gramme was made today, a large trao
tor and scraper being engaged ingrad-
ing a short cut from the Pacific High
way toward the administration build
ings. U. S. Marshall, road expert, sent
by the Government to look over the
situation and make recommendations
as to the best type of roads, has been
recalled to the cantonment to have su
pervision of the work. He probably
will remain until the road work is completed.
Greater railroad service for the post
has been provided by a joint operation
agreement between the Northern Pa
cific and the O.-W. R. & N. Company.
Hereafter the cantonment will be of
ficially known as American Lake.

quired in the Tacoma office to "handle

ELECTION STIRS ENGLAND
Third Sinn Feiner Is Returned to
Parliament.
LONDON, July 12. The election of
Edward de Valera as Member of Par
liament for East Clare, the third Sinn
Feiner to be returned to Parliament
of late, is treated as an event of great
political consequence by the morning
papers.
The tendency of the Unionist press
is to emphasize what it always con
tended, the folly of the government in
liberating Sinn Feiner prisoners and re
fraining to deal with revolutionary
talk and acts as such would be dealt
with in England. These papers re
gard the situation as gravely threaten
ing, for they see nothing in the Sinn
Fein movement but rebellion.
The Liberal press also is alarmed,
but rather for the position of the of
ficial Nationalist party and for the
prospect for the establishment of con
stitutional home rule.
