Washington, July 12. (I. N. S.) Tsa million American youths today fcTCJtod their fat in the draft of the new national army while New Torn lty exomptlon boards organized. Wail's ther aro but 21 states organ ised and ready for the draft, reports Indicate that every other state will be prepared long before the New Torlc city boards have completed their organization. This condition arisij from the fact that New York city exemption boards were the last to be named. Kansas City was the first largo city to report rcadiraess for the draft, but , V LUC I (211109 U.1 n liww WW " J ' proceeding and it seems moat likely hut th oiMl of the week Will find very state ready with the exception f New York. Details to Be Kept Quiet Disclosure of details of the opera tion will be nftide by a proclamation . by the president on the morning of - the drawfng. This plan, la followed In order that no schemes of evasion may be contrived and In order that there may be no possibility of even the slightest bit of manipulation. ProvDet Marshal General Orowdec, who will have actuaa, charge of the election and drawing as be has of the registration, is today working on the completion of the details of the drawing. Present plans before Secre- tary of War Baker call for the actual drawing- of about 200 numbers. These numbers will be key numbers and the men holding the drawn numbers in each district will be catled for oxami : nation and given opportunity to pre teat claims for exemption. Alabama Drawing First When the fortunes of thousands of American youth are cast there will be via par.minv nnr i n o rvnaflinn wii iui a (olemn one. Secretary of War Ba f ker may possibly draw the numbers ; hjmself. . The ceremony of the drawing will begin with prayer. Either the chap lain of the senate or the chief army chaplain wiH officiate. Then, blind- folded. Secretary Baker or his repre-; i sentat.lv will draw the first number. The numbers will be in a large . receptacle, the numerals themselves . will be written In red ink on white ' caper and carefully rolled top and i -placed within the black gelatin cap uls. I The first drawing will be mad for . Alabama and the drafting will con .; tlnu through the alphabetical num ber of the states, concluding with ' "JVyoming. Humbers for An to Be Used . In the receptacle will b plaoed globules containing numbers to cor respond to the nurrmer of registered men In the list containing the greatest number. That Is. if ther ax 60 dis tricts in Alabama and the sixteenth district has the greatest number of registrants, say 600, there will be 600 numbers in the bowL , Alabama, say. la called upon to fur nish 60,000 men. On the first draw ing, to carry out the example, say, number 2 is drawn. That would mean that the man whose card bears the fcumber 3 in all the 80 districts would bo drawn. Suppose number 600 was drawn. It might be that only one dis trict would have 600 registrants. So : only one man could be selected on that - draw, while 60 were on the other.

A ' third official, in charge of the regis tration list, marks off immediately the j Men drawn. This process will continue all the way through the states. The bov,l will be refilled for each state. It is estimated that an average of at least SO men will be drawn at a clip ani that the entire draft will be completed Within a day. . Notification will immediately be ' ent to the local board of the men drafted and they will make the names f publlo from their own lists. The , name also win b made public here , from th duplicate list In possession f the war department. Entire Draft to Be Mad How . Each state's quo.ta will be based, it was Indicated today, on the registration-of approximately 9,500.000 men. , The first call to the colors will be for , 687,000, but the entir draft will be , . completed at one time and th (87,000 J will be selected from those who were ; : : first to be drawn. Otheiw will be held In reserve for later oaU tf needed. - On th basis of ,&OO,0&0 me a It is believed approximately 4,000,000 will ,. b required by the quotas.

STATE'S CREDIT IS GOOD CowtaooM Will B Had Headquar. trs for Almost AH of th Boards tf Draft Zs Ssortd to. There is a chance that Oregon may not have to furnish any men in the first selective draft, though ther is nothing certain about it. This devel opment appears on th face of Ore gon's credit, as announced Wednesday by Adjutant General White, and from the fact that enlistments ar steadily Increasing and that all units of the national guard are practically at war strength now. Th figures announced Wednesday were that Oregon Is given credit for 1974 men who have enlisted In tha regular army. Added to the credit of 4881 men enlisted In th national guard, this make a total credit of 6657. Based on 1 per cent as Ore gon's share In th draft of 675,000 men. expected to be drawn In th first selection, ther remains inly 93 men to be supplied by this state. At the rate Oregon's patriotic young men ar joining th colors, it appears that the chances ar more than even that no draft will be required in this state. Concerning when the draft numbers will be announced. General White said that indications are that It will not be until next week. A report from Washington Is that only 21 states have reported their readiness. Oregon has been ready since July ft. The courthouse will be headquarters for nearly all boards during the draft, though the law requires that each board should have headquarter in its jurisdiction. Permission to have the headquarters centrally located for the convenience of the men affected was received this morning by General White from Provost Marshall General Crowder in a telegram. Allocation of quotas for each oounty in the state, made necessary by the new development in th allotment, is still In progTeaa.

BOARD MAY RESCIND ACTION IN GIVING AID T Douglas and Lane Appropria tions Meet Criticism From All Parts of the State. At the next meeting of the state highway commission it Is probable that a former action of the commis sion In appropriating $2000 to Doug las county for a paved road from Roseburg to the Soldiers' home and 5000 to Lane county to aid in the graveling of a section of the Paelfio highway near the Douglas county line will be reconsidered. Criticism of the action of the com mission is growing stronger, coming from different parts of th state, and In addition it has develeoped that the action was probably illegal, especially in the case of the Soldiers' home ; road. The road Is purely a local one and does not form a link in the state vstm 1sJ1 nut bv th ledalfttur. Section 10 of the law creating the state highway commission reads as follows: "No part of the state high way fund shall be expended upon other than state highways. In the case of the Lane county ap propriation it Is admitted that ther might not be a violation of the letter of th law, but It is asserted hat there Is a transgression of the spirit of the six million dollar .bond act. During the campaign for the bonds it was generally understood that those coun ties not specified should bear the ex pense of preparing the road bed to re ceive th hard surfac At the time the appropratlons were made Chairman Benson of the com mission said they were Improper, but he was overruled by the vote of Com missioners Adams, who mad th mo tion, and Thompson.

Weatherbee Is also connected with the company. i The company was "adopted" by the ' Ad club at its luncheon Wednesday, and the club will look after the men.

Bv. Sack Talks Th rmon lecture of Rev. W. C Buckner on "High Cost of Lighting" had to do with truth as the light, in which the speaker said that the high coat of lighting was the price of teaching. The leceurer said that we should only teach that which on holds as a conviction, and that a conviction IS not a whim, not an opinion and not a prejudice, but that It Is a truth whioh has been put to a three-fold test and which holds you not you it. The three fold test comprises intellect, which Is open to every test and evi dence; conscience and the test of in carnating that by an act of the will which says: "I bellev thl 1 right and I give my hand, my heart and my life to It then it becomes a convic tion."
