WASHINGTON, July 9.—With
pratieally all arrangements made
for making the draft of the first
army under the selective conscrip-
tion bill, it was announced today
that the first draft will be for
687,000 men. The details for an-
nouncing the numbers drawn on
the first draft is being rapidly
worked out and it is expected
that these will be given to the
publie within ten days.

ed. The young lady had the at-
tention of the best surgeons, nurs-
es ami friends possible from the
time she was injured until she
died, but it was known from the
beginning that her injuries were
of such nature that there were
little chance for her recovery.
The young lady was en route to
a picnic at Talpa, traveling in car
with her sister, Miss Annie and
Chester Bowlin. The car turned
over at a point about two miles
east of Ballinger, the accident oc-
elli ing about ten o’clock in the
forenoon. The skull of the un-
fortunate young lady was crushed
and she never regained conscious-
ness, lingering for almost a week
in an unconscious and paralized
condition.
Miss Biddie was a member of a
pioneer family of the Pony meek
.........muity. She grew from child-
hood in this comity and was pop-
ular with her associates and those
who knew her. Besides the father
and mother, she is survived by
three sisters. Misses Adiline, Ag-
gie and Annie, all of whom are
living with their parents, and who
were present when death relieved
their sister from her Ruffering.
She is also survived by six broth-
ers, John Eox, of San Antonio;
The exemption board for the
County of Runnels in the State
of Texas has completed its first
duty, and today a list of the
names of all young men w ho reg-
istered in this county, together
with the number under which the
drawing will take place, hangs in
the window at the Weeks drug
Store. The list is attracting con-
siderable attention, not only
from those who registered but by
the public in general, as practical-
ly every one is interested in who
will be called from this county to
make up the two million men to
be drafted.
The men subject to draft who
wish to know what number they
are listed under can ascertain
this fact by inspecting the list.
There was considerable interest a-
mong some of the boys to learn
who would hold the “lucky 13”
or the “unlucky 1313”. In num-

America's first expeditionary

“Only the district board,” con-
cludes the circular, “can receive
claims for discharge on the ground
that you are engaged in industry,

appealed. If you desire to appeal

to the president, you may do so
within seven days of the date of
mailing to you of the decision of

your case is finally disposed of,
