Kansas City Is Told By Army to Close Resorts.

Kansas City, Mo. Nov. 8. — Unless the authorities of Kansas City take immediate steps to suppress vice in all its forms, the government may find it necessary to declare the city a barred military zone and forbid soldiers from adjacent military establishments coming here, Henry F. Burt, in charge of the law enforcement department of the north central district and an operative of the war department, notified the authorities here today. The closing of immoral houses and places where soldiers may obtain liquor is demanded.
