in 1907. Most of his Army sery- ice was with the artillery and it included active duty in both the Spanish American and the Philip pine insurrection.
 Sent to France
 At the entrance of the United States into the World War, he was an Artillery Colonel, but was sent to France as Brigadier Gen. era1, later to be promoted to the rank of Major General and assign ed to command the Rainbow Divi- sion when Major General William A. Mann, it's organizer as chief of the Militia Bureau and it's first commanding officer, was unable to endure the physical strain of the active battle days of the division in France
 To recount the work of General Menoher in France virtually is to review the history of the renowned Rainbow Division, composed of Ma tionai Guard units from virtually every State in the Union. The division, one of the first American units to reach France, was organ ized in order that each State might be represented at an early date on the battle front, and it's history under General Manoher forms one of the most vivid chapters in the annals of the American Expedi- tionary Force.
 In Many Engagements
 The division saw active fighting in the Luneville and Baccarat sec tors from February IT to June 21, 1918; participated in the Cham pagne- -Marne defensive in July and August; the attack on the St. Mihiel saliant in September, the occupation of that sector until October, and then in the Argonne attack just prior to the armistice.
 For his service as head of the division, he was promoted to the command of the Sixth Corps, award ed the Distinguished Service Medal, and decorted by the French, Bel gian and Italian governments.

ably into American military history as that of the Battle Commander in France of the Rainbow Forty- Second) Division, the officer wGs to know far more vexing days after the war at home.
 The trouble developed when as Chief of the Army Air Service he came to an open break with hls principal assistant, Colonel William Mitchell, then a Brigadier General
 This clash, although temporarily smoothed over by John w. Weeks, then Secretary of War, was the first uproar of the air service con t~oversy wh h was to develop around Mitchell and lead to h.s erraignment before an Army court martial for a repetition of actions which had impelled Menoher to de- mand that his subordinate be re- lieved from duty as disciplinary measure.
 General Menoher became head ot
 
 the air service soon after his return from France, and at time when there already was appar ent a smouldering of the flame that later was to l,indle the fires of contea- ton. At the time of Menoher's ap- pointment. Secretary Weeks said he had been selected because he was a man of fine fighting record Tn France, a man of good judgment and level head, and very capable executive"
 Removal Requested
 He took charge of the air servlse in January 1919, and within few months came to an open break with Mitchell, and asked of the Secre- tary of War the removal of the of ficer. Shortly after this request lad been presented, tary Weeks on June IT, 1921, issued q formal statement in which he said Menoher has withdrawn his rec ommendation for the relief of Nit chell at the request" of the Sec retary of War.
 The Secretary stated that reasons submitted by Menoher "in the op- inion of the Secretary of War, jus tjfied his action but that the Secretary believed that in the interest of the air service and the Government itself such action would be undesirable and unfortunate Ut this time" and has been able ito secure satisfactory adjustment of the difficulties involved
 This adjustment proved but fleeting. Almost at once there re- cured within the air service con ditions equally vexatious to its chief. and while he stood these for a time in difference to MT. Weeks wishes, in October he tendered his resignation from that position and asked for duty with troops,
 Assigned to Hawaii
 Assigned to command the Ha- xaiian Department, he again came into conflict with Mitchells views as to the air service and in the subsequent years, even after Gen. eral Menoher had been transferred to his last active duty in command of the Ninth Corps Area at San Francisco, there recurred at inter vals in testimony given by Nit chell before the numerous aircraft Investigating bodies, criticisms ot the Menoher administration. The general himself, however, refrained consistently from public discussion cl his differences with his formel subordinate.
 General Menoher was born ir Philadelphia, Penn. March 20, 1862 He was graduated from West Point in 1886, from the Artillery Schonl in 1894 and from the War College

A large expenditure was made to provide "a hotel" in Norwich for If to 16 women inmates who were transferred from the state prison at Wetherstield 10 live in IuXuriously Iappointed quarters while sick and mentally defective persons walk the streets because the state has failed to provide for them, he said Slap at Roraback
 J. Henry Roraback, chairman of the republican state central com mittee, who for years has remained in the background, has come out ill the open in the present campaign, Attorney Cont said, and How the claim is being put forth that the power interests which he represents pay several hundred thousands of 1 dollars in taxes besides providing employment for thousands in vari ous parts of the state. They do not say anything about the valua bla water rights those interests have ob- i tained, though, even to the extent of wiping out an entire town, ceme- tery and all," he said. You also remember the little jitneys which started to operate when the trolley situation was found inadequate some years ago, and how they were wipei out to make room for the Connecti- cut Co. buses controlled by the New | lo, parking places in every city where they operate and you and l, who pay our share of the taxes, cannot enter them"
 There was a power station near | White Oak, Attorney Cont said, which did not pay taxes until Mayor Paonessa forced the power interests to do so, and as to the bus system he asserted that he would gladly pay s1,000,oO0 in taxes if he coull have control of the bus lines, be- cause he knew it would be we'll worth it.
 | Paonessa was thorn in the side of the republican party in New Britain for years, Attorney Cont said, as evidenced by his election to the office of mayor three times de- spite the overwhelming republican majority normally credited to New Britain. and he suggested facetious- ly that it would be a good move for the republicans to send Paonessa to | Hartford for four years as county sheriff. The republicans would then be rid of him and Hartford would welcome him.
 Jails Should Be Sanitary
 Tn a brief talk, eX-Mayor Paonessa referred to Governor Trumbul's an- nouncement yesterday that he would have an investigation made into conditions at the state prison, but, according to the newspapers, the governor made it plain that he had every confidence in the direc- tors and the warden of the prison.

Chinese nationalist government look ing to eventual abolition of the treaty rights of Americans in China,
 was forecast today with the active
 resumption by Dr. C. C. Wu of his
 duties as Chinese minister.
 Minister Wu, who has been at tending meetings of the League of
 Nations at Geneva for his govern ment, is expected 10 confer this week with state department off
 cials on reopening the entire ques- tion of the eXtraterritorial or so-
 called treaty rights.
 To Resume Conversations Tho state department in a formal statement last month announced it was prepared to resume converse tions on the question. Under these treaty rights American citizens in China are in effect governed by the
 codes of law of their own country and their property is not subject 10 the many hazards of the ancient Chinese laws. Since becoming the predc"linating regime in China, the nationalist government has made a concerted effort to have the United States and other powers agree to an abolition of these privileges.
 The state department has prepar-
 cd for submission to the Chinese
 government a set of draft proposals
 to serve as a basis for discussion of the subject between the two nations. The documents has not been made
 public, but probably will be sub mitted immediately to Dr. Wu for transmission to his government. State department officials decline to comment on the nature of the
 American proposals beyond stating they are similar but not identic to a

 ment," he said. "I do not contend that jail and prison should ba heaven on earth, by any means, but I do believe that they should at least be sanitary. Not everyone in jail is a criminal, especially since violations of the liquor law have re- suited in sending men to jail for d week or two and they certainly are entitled to living conditions fit for human beings"
 Local Ticket Speaks
 Attorney William F. Hagearty. nominee for state senator, and At torney Samuel Googei and Council man Lucian Macora. nominees for representatives in the legislature. urged that the entire ticket be sup ported on election day. Attorney Hagearty touched on the old age pension bill which the democratic party is backing and criticized the republican party for decrying it on the ground that it would cost the state too much money. Money, money. money" he said. That is their cry. Instead of the full dinner pail which we used to hear about from the republicans, it is pay-as- you-go, paying while going over the hills to the poorhouse."
 Councilman M2cora urged a united drive on election day 10 off, set the work the republicans are doing and Attorney GooGel promised to support the old age pension measure Both assured the audience of their desire for support, not only for themselves but for the entire ticket

 To Adhere to Policy
 I. was learned. however, the American government win adhere to thepolicy laid down by Secretary Stimson in his note on extra territoriality to the Chinese govern molt on August 10, 1929 that this government was ready to participate in negotiations for gradual re- linqui3hment of eXtraterritorial rights either as 10 designated eX- traterritorial areas or as 10 particu- lar kinds of jurisdiction It was made a condition, however, that such gradual rclinquishment must proceed side by side with improve mcnts by the Chinese government in the enactment and effective en- forcement of laws based on modern concepts of jurisprudence.
