One hundred of his "buddies" last night gathered at the Warren District Country Club to honor Brig. Gen. John c. Greenway, mining man, vet eran of two wars and sne of the most universally liked residents of the Warren District:
 The event was in the form of ban quet rendered General Greenway by the local American Legion post. ;.s an appreciation of his service to the post as one of its founders and, ever since one of it's most active members
 There were many friends of Gen. eral Greenway's present who had journeyed many miles in order to join in honoring the man who was praised. both as a soldier and as a citizen. Among these visitors were Brig. Gen. R. l.. Howze, commander of the 1st Cavalry Division; Col. E. B. Winans. commander Of the 10th Cavalry; Caleb Rice, commander of the Douglas post of the American Legion; c. E. Mills, fellow mining man and a veteran of the Spanish American war, and Duane Bird, state commander of the American Legion.
 State Commander Speaks
 Post Commander Dickson, of the local Legion organization, acted as toastmaster. c. A. McKean, chaplain of the Bisbee post, was called on first Chaplain McKean opened the after dinner program of speech in more or less ,'un-chaplainlike" but highly effective manner, with a few good stories and a brief pre-introduction of the speakers who were to follow.
 State Commander Duane Bird re- called that, 10 years ago, General Greenway had given him job as a mucker at the Hoatson mine here. Bird said that he waited years to thank Greenwa,y for doing this, and declared that during the time he work ed underground he learned more of humanity than at any other time in his life.
 Closing his talk with a brief refer ence to the adjusted compensation fight, Bird urged the ex-service men, when they received compensation, to use it in a manner that would prove they could "carry on for God and for country in peace as you did in war"
 The American Legion" he said, was organized not so we could get alr we can from others, but that we might get what we can for others and do what we can for others
 Frigadier General Howze, who said he wss proud to say that he had prob ably known General Greenway longer than any others present, spoke of him as "a man upon whom the communi- ty. the state and the nation may de- pend on to do right in anything he undertakes"
 Urges Efficient Army
 General Howze pleaded with the ex-service men to take an interest in the national guard, the reserve and the regular army.
 The army is your army" ho said. Tt will be as good and as strong as you want it to be. We must have an efficient national guard and an eff clent reserve corps, both always train ca and prepared. The army must al. ways be the training groups-the na- tional guard and reserve the two props to support it."
 general Howe expressed doubt as to the advisability Of making further drastic cuts in the army, and ex- pressed the belief that there were too few troops on the border. He urged all who were not members of the re- serve to give the subject of joining their most serious attention.
 Brief speeches were made by Caleb Rice, Colonel Winans, George R. W1nfrey and Dan Angius.
 General Greenway, called upon to tell how it feels to wear 6, star on each shoulder" thanked his buddies TOT the honors bestowed on him, and spoke Of his years of residence in the west.
 Greenway Praises Bisbee
 If l had my life to live over," he said, '1 would spend 1t in the can yons of Bisbee. Not because I like those hills, but because I like the peo- pie who live there"
 General Gree1way recalled his first day in action in France, and said that the battle reminded him continually ot Bisbee-of its trials and troubles times when Bisbee hardly knew which way to turn-and of it's final struggle with foes within the country while soldiers were on their way to France to fight for their country.
 You members of the Legion fought for this country and saved this coun. try" he continued Make it yours better country than ever before. But just remember this: always be ready, always be prepared There often comes the time when, as. much as we love peace and liberty, we must fiOht
