SECOND DRAFT UNLIKELY THIS

YEAR.

(Australian and N Z. Cable Association)

Washington, Oct. 21

It is announced that the nine million drafted men as yet uncalled will be drafted into nine classes and catalogued according to the service for which they are most fit, thus securing the best military and economic results and ensuring that the most eligible will be drafted first.

It is not likely that there will be a second draft this year.
