PART XI.

MASTER LIST.

A drawing of numbers from 1 to 10,500, both inclusive, was made in Washington under the direction of the Secretary of War and in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the President.

A schedule or master list was prepared by the Provost Marshal General containing all of such numbers from 1 to 10,500, both inclusive, placed in the exact order in which they were drawn.

The first number drawn was placed at the top of column 1 of the master list, the second number drawn was placed next below in such master list, and this order was followed until all the numbers drawn were so placed in such master list in the exact order in which they were drawn.

The master list controls and determines the exact order in which the persons whose registration cards are in the possession of the respective Local Boards or may hereafter be received by said Local Boards are liable to be called by the Local Board for military service. Immediately upon receipt of these regulations place a check mark (✔) after every number in the master list which at the present time appears in the "Serial number" column on Form 102. When additional registration cards, or registration cards which have been improperly, erroneously, or illegibly serially numbered have been given serial numbers as provided in section 67, the Local Board shall determine the proper order number for any such card as provided in section 69, and shall place a check mark (✔) after every such serial number in the master list.

To read the master list begin with the first number at the top of column 1 and continue downward across two pages of these regulations until the bottom of column 1 has been reached; then start at the top of column 2 and proceed as directed in column 1. Follow this rule on completing the reading of each column until the end of column 110 is reached. The columns of the master list have been numbered in consecutive order from 1 to 110, both inclusive.
