Draws First Capsule
From Glass Bowl
By Associated Press
WASHINGTON June 27 The draw
ing of numbers to determine the order
in which youths of the Class of 191S
will be called into military service was
conducted here today with much the
same ceremony which marked the
great drawing a year ago It was a
comparatively small affair and in view
of the fact that the classification sys
tem more nearly determines the order
of service than does the actual numer
ical order the drawing was not so
dramatic
Baker Draws First Number
The drawing was held in the con
ference room of the Senate office build
ing Secretary Baker blindfolded
drew the first gelatine capsule with a
number enclosed from the glass bowl
The number was 246

third numbers respectively and thus

blackboard of which a photograph

vertible record
