CALL TO THE CO[ORS
SOON TO Be ISSUED
Secretary Baker Tomorrow Will An.
nounce Date for Summoning First
Half Million or More Men.

Announcement of the date for calling
to the colors the first half million or more
mon who are to compose the new Ameri-
can army Is to be made tomorrow. oc-
cording to a statement last night by Sec
rotary Baker. The drawing by numbers
lis to take place in this city.
1t Is understood the date on which
the drawing is to take place will be July
10; perhaps a day or two later, but GER
tainly close to that date This was fore
cast exclusively in The Star last Satur-
day.
However, it is not believed the men who
are called to the colors will be in the
various cantonments and concentration
camps before September 1. or possibly
even later. The camps. it is stated. have
been chosen and practically all of the
necessary engineering work is completed
or rapidly nearing completion. But ma
terial for the buildings is slow in reach
ing the spots where it is required; and
the task of selecting the men. examining
them physically. sitting out the exemp-
ton claims-in short. attending to all the
innumer3ble details of actually getting
the men into the service-is expected to
require from two to four months.
