MASTER LIST NO. 2.

A drawing of numbers from 1 to 1200, both inclusive, was made in Washington on June 20, 1918, under the direction of the Secretary of War and in accordance with the 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 1200, 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.

This Master List controlled and determined 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 as a result of the Second Registration, are liable to be called by the Local Boards for Military service.

At the time this Master List was communicated to the Local Boards, they were instructed as follows:

"Draw a light pencil line through every number which does not at the present time appear on any registration card of the Second Registration in the possession of your Local Board. The list as thus prepared controls and determines the order of call for every registrant of the Second Registration whose registration card is now within your possession. Each such registrant within the respective classes shall be called as prescribed in section 7 of Part I of these Rules and Regulations. If additional registration cards of the Second Registration are received, or registration cards of the Second Registration which have been wrongly given registration numbers' and are assigned registration numbers' by the Adjutant General as provided in these Rules and Regulations, your list will be changed accordingly so as to include in their exact order such additional registration numbers' as fixed in this schedule."

To read the Master List begin with the first number at the top of column 1 of the first page of these Regulations on which this list is printed and continue downward in that column 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 the sixth column on the first page of the Master List. Then turn to the second page of the Master List and, begung with column 1, proceed as with the first page, and so through the succeeding pages to the end of the list.
