Washing*©®, Oct. 1.—Secretary ot War Dickinson finds nothing to criti else In the action of General Grant in taking pc-rt In a temperance and law enforcement parade in Chicago, not withstanding that General Grant wa in uniform as a major general of th United States army.

Michaelis of Chi cago criticising General Grant's right to appear In uniform at the head of a so called temperance parade in that city last Saturday, says: "I have your letter of Sept. 28, 1909, 1b which you state that on Saturday last Major General F. D. (Jrant, in uniform, marched at the head of a prohibition parade In the city of Chi cago. "I do not know the facts, but 1 have seen it stated that it was not a prohibition parade, but a temperance and law enforcement parade. You state that it has been rumored that the federal government and the army In general have taken sides with the prohibition movsmont. If the fed eral government has in any way taken part in any such movement I do not know It. What individual members of the army may feel about such movements I do not know. Each sol dier and officer of the army has a right to determine that for himself. I do know, however, and state that the army, as an organization, has taken no side and will have no right to take sides, either for or against the prohibition movement. "General Grant participated In the parade as an individual and not in any way representing the army or the war department" BANDITS SECURE $10,000 Hold Up National Bank at Glenwood 8prings, CeiO. tQlenwood Springs, Colo., Oct, 1.— A posse Is pursuing the bandits who robbed the Citizens' National bank here.
