Dry Zone For Five Miles Around Training Camps.

A dry zone five miles wide, unless there is a city or town within that limit, is to be thrown around the camps for the mobilization and training of the troops under new regulations made at the war department. This is done under the authority given by congress in the act authorizing the establishment of camps. If a municipality is withjn even one-half mile of the camp the dry zone is to be limited to that width in that direction. But if the camp is located on the edge of town the prohibition will extend to the width of one-half mile into the town. Prohibition under a penalty of SIO,OOO fine also is imposed under the same law against the maintenance of any immoral house within the limit.
