Official Bulletin of the Govern. ment: The war department author izes the following:
 That there shall be no red light in our new national army Is the de termination of the government, and with that object in view the war department has been pursuing a vigorous campaign in the vicinity of the camps now in existence, as well as in the larger cities adjacent to our military establishments. The popular theory that our citizen sol diers have been bounded by a vice trust" organized to yend their wares in the regions where troops are be- ing mobilzed, is without foundation. The people with whom the govern ment has been dealing mercilessly are scattered adventurers, gamblers, dramsellers, ploprietors of vicious re sorts which have sprung mu hlo0m- like out of the ground like gypsy camps at C-urty fins. In addition to these, the regularly established districts in the larger tow = have been investigated and forced to close on the shortest notice possible.
 In all cases the government has worked with the honest and able cooperation of municipal ard local authC rites. The st-te cOunc's of defense have done much valuable work. Chi Of IC'ice throughout the count y have beol reqIested to give their attention to this phase of ce regulation, and the results vindicate tte enthusiastic patriotism with which the authorities have car ried out their trust. The tender Joins in the Texas cities-old-fash ed red-light districts which up to a few weeks ago seemed as perma- antly planted in their towns as the city hall-have withered over night or gone their way.
