Consequently, editorial rooms are flooded with letters asking definite questions, most of which eventually are answered by some centralized oureau of research, especially conducted to inform the curious.

COMMANDER GF 42ND ‘RAINBOW DIVISION DEAD Maj.-Gen. G-. T. Menofier Was Noted for Air Clash With Mitchell. B" United Press WASHINGTON. Aug. 12.—MajorGeneral Charles T. Menoher, commander of the famous Rainbow division and later chief of the army air corps, was dead here today after a brief illness. Menoher, who was 68 years old. died of pneumonia. Although widely known throughout the army for his service with the Forty-Second division. General Menoher is best known for his controversy with Brigadier - General William Mitchell which developed into one of the bitterest and most publicized feuds within the ranks of the service. Shortly after he was made head of the air corps in 1919, Menoher became involved in a controversy with Mitchell, his principal assistant, the dispute centering about the adequacy and conduct of the service. Fought With Mitchell Menoher at first asked Secretary of War Weeks to remove Mitchell, but later withdrew his request at Weeks’ behest. At the time, the war secretary stated that the reasons submitted by Menoher justified his action, but that “the secretary believed such action would be" unfortunate at this time.” After this temporary adjustment, the controversy broke out anew a short time later in a dispute between the two officers over the competency of the air service. Menoher deferred action for a while and then resigned, being assigned to command the Hawaiian department where he again came into conflict with Mitchell’s views. Menoher was retired in 1926. West Point Graduate The Menoher-Mitchell clash was the first in the controversy that centered around Mitchell and finally led to his arraignment before an army court-martial. Menoher was bom in Johnstown, Pa., in 1862 and was graduated from West Point in 1886. He saw service in the Philippines during the Span-ish-American war and was sent to France as a brigadier-general at the outbreak of the World war. As head of the colorful Forty-sec-ond division, Menoher directed its fighting in the Champagne-Marne offensive in July, 1918, and later at St. Mihiel and in the Argonne.
