It is estimated that the chances of 
a man who registers for the draft a 
week from next Tuesday are about 
one in 20 of being selected for duty. 
That makes it a “19 to 1” shot against 
any one men being selected. How- 
ever, those who must enrol are not 
cheered much by the fact that gamb- 
lers odds are in their favor. A “hun- 
‘dred to one shot” is what most men 
prefer at a time like this. It’s a funny 
thing that the men, who are willing 
enough to enlist when they don’t have 
to, fight shy when there is a chance of 
their having to go. Another feature 
of the percentages in the draft is that 
in a community like Manchester, 
which has furnished an unusual quota 
of volunteers, the individual chances 
of any man of military age of being 
drafted are increased instead of di- 
minished. Although Manchester will 
have a larger proportion of “wents” 
than “sents” at the front, it is no dis- 
credit to the men who are drafted that 
they wait until their services are com- 
mandeered. The draft is the fairest 
way of recruiting for all concerned. 
And speaking of percentages there is 
one we are sure of—the man between 
21 and 31 who fails to register on 
June 5 has a “1000 to 1” chance of 
going to jail—and with all due re- 
spect to Chief Sullivan, we would 
rather take that “1g to 1 shot” than 
enjoy his hospitality for one night.
