280,000 CALLED ON JUNE 24

OFFICIAL ORDERS ISSUED FROM WASHINGTON—CAMP NOT YET SELECTED. Washington/ May 31.—Official announcement was made today that 280,000 men will be called to the colors during June. They will be ordered to report June 24, but it has not been determined to what camps they can be assigned, so the list of approtionments is for the present being withheld. ■■ ■ The quota is based dn estimates of the space available for the men in camps and cantonments. If the rate otf shipment of troops across again is raised .still more men may be called. In any event the probabilities are that enough men will be called for special service to round the number out to 300,000.
