ALL MEN DRAWN SHOULD FEEL
HONORED IN BKt.(i SE
LECTED. SAYS SENATOR
CHAMBERLAIN.
WASHINGTON, July 21. Sen
ator Chamberlain, chairman of
the- Senate military affairs com
mittee and joint author of the
draft law. who drew the second
number for the selective draft,
today issued the following state
ment: "Everything went off with ab
solute precision, testifying to the
care with which the admirable
plans had been formulated by the
President under the skillful man
agement of Provost Marshal-General
Crowder. It will prove to
the country that the selective
draft plan for securing an Army
Is the fairest that could have
been devised, distributing the
burden of the war so far as man
power is concerned equitably,
evenly and Justly among all
young men ofthe country be
tween 21 and 30.
'It is not a conscript system,
nor does it provide a conscript
Army. On the contrary, every
man drawn ought to feel hon
ored, and, I believe, will feel hon
ored, that he has been selected to
serve his country."
"WASHINGTON, July 21. Despite the
fact that officers and clerks of Pro
vost Marshal-General Crowder's office
worked all last night to complete the
drawing that fixed the order of mili
tary liability of 10.000,000 registrants,
the tally sheets had been compared
and corrected before dark tonight and
the master list was in the hands of the
printer.
Copies will be mailed to local exemp
tion boards beginning not later than
Tuesday and the summoning of the
first draft of 687.000 men can begin.
General Crowder tonight issued the
following statement:
"The drawing is complete and has
beTi apparently successful. The offi
cial tally sheets have been compared,
sent to the printer and the proof is
being received. Final copies will be
ready for distribution not later than
Tuesday.
Certification Is Next Step.
"The next step will be the certi
fication of the results of the drawing
to 4557 local boards and the applica
tion by each board of Its chart to its
serially numbered list. This need con
sume but little time, and when done
the -order of priority of the nearly
30,000,000 registrants to report for ex
amination will be revealed.
"Such additional drafts as may be or
dered by the President will be filled
by calling men in the order of this
established priority and no further
drawing ever will be necessary. Each
local board, upon receipt of Its chart
and upon notification by the Governor
of the quota to be raised by it. may
proceed at once, under regulations al
ready promulgated, to summon men
for examination.
PresM Praised for Assistance.
"We have now passed the stage in
the execution of the selective service
act when we must have concert of
action by the states. In raising state
contingents the race is to be the swift
est.
"I cannot let this opportunity pass
without adverting to the very great
value of the assistance which has been
to earnestly and efficiently rendered
ky the press.
"Without the systematic campaign of
public information that prepared the
country for the registration, the en
rollment of 10,000,000 men on June 5
would have been impossible. The gen
erous support of the newspapers
throughout the period since registra
tion day is appreciated and only the
most thorough efficiency could have
placed upon the streets, within a few
hours after the first number was
drawn, lists for each registration dis
trict, showing the names of the per
eons who would be summoned for ex
amination on the first call of the local
boards.
Regulations Made Public.
General Crowder also made public
the text of the regulations for their
application which will accompany the
master lists. The only new feature
shown is the plan for handling cards
that are found to have duplicate num
bers, or are otherwise confused, and
also of dealing with those received
July 10, when the local boards closed
their lists to begin numbering.
By the plan worked out these add!
t ional cards will receive an order of
their own by lot, and then will be add
cd to the lists of the districts from
which they come, and be affected by
the drawing precisely as if they had
I been received and numbered before the
board lists were closed.
Where several cards bear the same
Ferial number, one will be drawn from
the group and retain the duplicated
number, while the others will be re
garded as unnumbered, and the process
of adding them to the lists be followed.
District Boards Appointed. .
Another step accomplished during the
day was the appointment of the dis
trict boards of 32 of the states, and
announcement of the names of the five
men who will compose each of them.
Borne states have six or eight boards
to ease the task. Federal judicial dis
tricts, the areas used for geographical
distribution of the boards, are divided
Into two or three sections for that pur
pose, and a separate board named for
each.
These district boards will have no
function until the local boards In the!
territory have begun to certify to them
the men found fitted for military duty
physically and not burdened with de
pendents. The higher boards are courts
of appeal, either for the individual o
Tor the Government, against the find
lngs of the local board.
Missing Number la Found.
The question of Industrial exemp
tlons has been turned over to these dis
trlct boards. They will be sole judges
of any registered roan s field of great
est service to the Nation, whether In
the Army or in the munitions factory,
business house or other civilian occu
pation in which he is engaged.
The first purpose today in checkin
the tally sheets was to discover one
missing number. A blank capsule was
found in the drawing. At the time
notation was placed on the tally sheets

MISS FLIU WHITNEY.
Miss Flur Whitney, daughter of M r. and Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, was
ntenselv interested in the daring stunts of the airmen who took part in a
ball game played by Army and Navy aviators at Peacock Point, the Summer
home of Henry P. Davison, for the bene fit of the Red Cross.
before the game, as the airmen arrived at the foint, they circled around
the place In single file, making a most unusual sight. Several of the fliers
hen made spectacular flights, penorming every daring stunt Known in the
category of thrillers.
Mr. Davison, new head of the war council of the Red Cross, generously lent
his Summer home to the cause. About $5000 was realized by the event.
J 'SJI
showing that the blank had come up
No. 10,004. 1
The drawing was carried througn.
however, without regard to the blank,
the next number announced being
placed as No. 10,004. It appeared more
likely that an empty capsule had been
placed in the Jar inadvertently than
that a numbered slip had been lost.
One of Numbers Changed.
W on nu. -ber 10, .9 had be rawn.
however, the empty capsule was all
that remained in tne jar, and it was
known that one slip had not been
placed in the drawing. Today's check
ing showed the missing number to te
4664 in the serial lists of registrants.
That number will be placed as No.
10,004 in the .liability lists on the of
ficial records, and all numbers drawn
after that will be moved down one
point, so that the present last number.
3217, now posted as No. 10,499, will be
come No. 10, SOU, completing tne draw
ing.
There will be also other minor cor
rections to make. Until the official
list Is published, however, no definite
statement of the probable number of
revisions can be made.
Tally Sheets Carefully Kept.
Indications are that it will be very
small and that the tally sheets were
kept so carefully that a practically
perfect result was obtained immedi
ately on the discovery of the missing
number.
Registrants will not be, advised of
ficially to appear for examination be
fore local boards until the master list
of the drawing has reached the local
boards. The names of those to come
forward will then be posted and any
man who fails to appear when notified
ill be promptly hunted down and
the penalties imposed for attempted
evasion exacted.
Word of the registration in Porto Rico
came today from the uovernor, who
reported that it would far exceed es
timates, 104,550 men having registered

tional cards expected by mall will
bring the final figure perhaps to
110,000.

ESTIMATES MADE FOR SUPPLIES
AND YARD IMPROVEMENTS.
Senator Chamberlain Upholds Plan
to Provide Places for Democrats,
Holding That Civil Service
Is Impracticable Now.
ORBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, July 21. Two million five hun
dred thousand dollars' worth of jobs
were placed on the Democratic pie
counter by the United States Senate
when It voted, 38 to 24, to strike from
the food conservation bill a provision
Inserted by the House requiring that
all salaried employes of the food con
trol office or bureau should be ap
pointed through the civil service. This
was the largest morsel of patronage
that has been dangled before the eyes
of hungry Democrats in many a day
and the temptation was too great to
be resisted.
As it is clearly understood that this
patronage is to be parceled out to "de
serving Democrats," it was not sur
prising that 33 of the 38 Senators who
voted for the spoils system were Dem
ocrats and that only one Democrat,
Reed, of Missouri, voted against the
elimination of the House amendment.
Chamberlain Favors Spoils.
Thus it appears that Senator Cham
berlain, a. strong advocate of civil
service when President Wilson was
placing postmasters in the classified
service, turned up in favor of the
spoils system when it came to making
provision for $2,600,000 worth of food
control jobs. He went further, and,
having charge of the food bill, actively
opposed the House provision and cham
pioned the Senate amendment doing
away with the civil service require
ment. The senior Oregon Senator objected
to the civil service requirement in the
first place because he said the food
control offices were only temporary
and the House provision would place
them permanently on the Government
payroll, something the law does not
provide, for civil service employes have
often been dropped in the past when
their services were no longer re
quired. But going further, Senator
Chamberlain said: '
"There are not enough men who
have stood the examination and are
now on the classified register to fill
the requirements of - this act," Tet
the Civil Service Commission has all
the machinery necessary to hold new
examinations on a day's notice and
could provide all the force Mr. Hoover
will ever require inside of 10 days; It
could provide them faster than the
food controller could put them to
work.
Civil Service Value Questioned.
Senator Smoot pointed out that there
are large numbers of both men and
women on the civil service register
today who have passed the civil serv
ice examination and are eligible to
appointment. To pass them by and
fill the food control office with de
serving Democrats" with a pull, he ar
gued, would be a gross Injustice. But
Senator Chamberlain was obdurate and
took a decidedly advanced stand when
he stated: "I feel that it would not
do very much harm to repeal the whole
civil service act, because it does not
work with justice and equity among
those who are in the employ of the
Government."
Senator McNaryk of Oregon: Senator
Borah, of Idaho, and Senator Jones, of
Washington, .voted to place the food
control positions under civil service.
After the vote had been taken Sen
ator Penrose, who had been a facetious
critic of the Senate amendment, went
on record as predicting that "before
the expiration of the present Congress
the President by executive order will
convert these places into the civil
service that have been filled by Dem
ocrats."
