Bisbee daily review., 1918-12-29

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 2S-Arizona men in various military branches in France are being rewarded for valiant service in the field.
 In private letters there has come news that John c. Greenway, who left his job of manager of the Calumet & Arizona mines at Bisbee to be a ma jor of engineers and who later was promoted to lieutenant colonel of in- fantry through bravery in the field, again has been raised in rank and now is full colonel, following the fighting in the Argonne forest, where he was badly gassed while leading a regi- ment. He started his military career as a lieutenant of the rough riders in Cuba, soon after leaving college. There has been supplemental intima- tion that Greenway is to be awarded the French war cross.
 Succeeds After Rejection
 In another line has been the ad- vancement from captain to lieutenant colonel of E. Power Conway, of Phoe- nix. who joined the engineers after he had been rejected at the infantry of ficer's training camp in San Fran cisco on physical grounds. He now is acting manager of roads in France, with the general staff of the American army. He is especially well fitted for such a post, having for several years been southwestern manager for the Barber Paving company and the War ren Brothers Bithulithic corporation. He had no previous military expert l euce.
