died by Lenoir came into France by
the way of Switzerland, a German
agent named Schoeller acting for Ger
many in that country.
Lenoir was doomed to death on May
8, 1919, and desperate, but futile efforts
were made to gain a communication of
his sentence. Lenoir was removed to
Sante prison after what appeared to be
his last chance for life had vanished. but
on Sept, 10, when the firing squad was
in position and all preparation for his
execution had been made. his life was
spared for a time in a most dramatic
manner
His attorney asserted Lenoir could
give evidence wanted in the case of
Joseph Catllaux, who yesterday was
brought before the high court of the
French senate on a charge of consplr-
ing to bring about a premature and
|dishonorable peace with Germany. Le-
noir was given a searching examina-
ton by judicial authorities, hut later 1t
was announced nothing he had laid be-
fore the officials would justify a miti-
cation of the sentence of death passed
upon him, An appeal to the court of
revision was rejected on Oct, 81.

BENNETT LEANS TO

Attacks La Guardia's Stand
on League.

William NJ. Bennett. who has thrown
his hat In the ring for the Republican
nomination for President of the Board
OF Aldermen In opposition to Represen-
tative f. ii. La Guardia, did two things
yesterday. He sent letter to each of
the sixty-three district leaders In the
city saying It was "up to" them to ar
range meetings at which he as well as
Representative Ia Guardia will speak.
Secondly, Mr.. Bennett tried to tag a
national Issue, the League of Nations,
on Mr.. La Guardia.
TO a certain extent" declared Mr..
Bennett, national issues will undoubt-
eddy be brought into the campaign. My
opponent, Mr.. La Guardia, has made
speeches In favor of the ratification of
the League of Nations covenant without
change. The fact that this League of
Nations covenant calls on us to guar
antee the territorial integrity of Eng
land and japan. that 1t puts us into the
war willy-nilly on the happening of GER
tain events, that ii takes away from
Congress the power to declare war and
to decide on the size OF the army and to
levy taxes to support such an army and
puts this power in the hands of a body
OF foreign secretaries sitting In Europe
seems to meet with his approval. The
Republicans are entitled to know this
before they select him as a candidate"
Mr. Bennett asked whether, In view
OF the rosy letter on Interborough pros
poets for increased revenue under a 5
cent fare which Mr.. Shonts wrote to ].
z. Morgan some time ago, Mr.. La Guar
dia favors an cent fare or whether he
will look after the interests of the strap
hangers.
Other things upon which Republicans
are entitled to know the views of Mr..
La Guardia, Mr.. Bennett said, were the
necessity for paying flremen and police
men and other low salaried municipal
employees more money, the high cost of
living brought on by blind extravagance,
the purchase of supplies without public
letting and a subway to Staten Island.
The time has gone by" he said.
