WASHINGTON, April 5. – Complaints having been made by the
commanders of military posts that movements are impeded and discipline relaxed
by the presence of male and female visitors, the Secretary of War has ordered
that no passes be granted to visit Fortress Monroe or other military posts to
any person not engaged in military service, and has authorized commanders of
military posts to remove all persons not engaged in the service. Passes for the purpose of trade and business
are also refused.
