Draft drawing delayed to next week in national call order
The national draft drawing to determine the calling order of 15,000,000 men ages 18 to 44 was postponed to next week to allow local boards more time to correct errors in serial numbers. Authorties report progress, with boards classifying by age and preparing questionnaires while some inductments may occur before final orders. At Camp Meade Maryland officials confirmed 500 influenza cases among about 40,000 troops with no deaths, all precautions against pneumonia ongoing.
