According to an official statement
issued by Captain H. N. Royden, commandant at the University of Kentucky, the city authorities were informed Thursday, that the University
had completed its enrollment of 250
students in the student army, thus

Federal regulation as applied to educational institutions, with the student army training corps, compels all saloons within a
half mile radius, to be closed within
thirty days after notification. Practically all of the saloons on the south
side of the city will be affected by
this law, which means that all
the apostles of "John Barleycorn" will
have to lay in their supply before
