One of the most dramatic moment.in American hiatory was recorded or July 20. 1917, when Secretary of War Baker thrust his hand Into the glasbowl bolding the fate of tan million American youths, and drew aa the Aral number In the world's greater: military draft, “No. 258." By his act more than 4.000 me: holding thla fateful number were r*~ qulsiUoned for war duty; and when tb* bowl was emptied of Its last cap sule, ten million youths between thill a-id 21 ware contingently called for military service. America's young manhood of thl; generation, and possibly of any gener ill never experience another such day of conflicting human emir lions.
