Army Officer Urges Ex-SerUice Men Help Organize Reserue Army
 To Insure Safety or Country
Major William MqCeve, of Denver Declares United States Must Always Be in Position to Raise Large Army When
 Emergency Arises; May Assign Army Officer Here

break of war is what we want to do l away with through the organization of a reserve army that, in time of emer- gency, would be able to function with, out some of the unpleasant, personal ' features thatl characterized our last great mobilization.
 T wish all ex-service men who may still cherish such grievances would forget them. It was a big job that the nation had on it's hands. and I think we all did the best we could.
 Today the world is still far from being settled. Although we hope there may never be another war, yet we should always be prepared, for it might come again much sooner than we expect We should play safe with or nation by organizing an efficient, dependable reserve army, or skeleton army, as quickly as possible. The foundation of the reserve must be builded upon readiness for immediate action.
 May Assign Officer Here
 While the greater part of our work is now on paper, we are confident that tIle time will come when the reserve army. can be mobilized eachsyear and put in several weeks actual training.
 General Greenway is anxious that an infantry officer from the regular army be assigned to this district to give whatever training the general may see fit. And we. aQ headquarters, are just as anxious that the organiza- tion may quickly arrive at the stage where such a move would be justi- fied.'
 Major NIcCleve explained the organ ization of the reserve forces in the southwestl The 103rd Division, with headquarters in Denver, he said, has i been allocated to Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico, under command of the commanding general of the Eighth I Corps Area of the regular army. Other divisions in this area are the 90th, all located to Texas, and the 95th, alloca- i iIed to Oklahoma.
 i Headquarters of the 2O5th Infantry i Brigade, 103rd Division, commanded 1 by General Greenway, are now located | in Warren. Other units of the Bri- gade, comprising the 409th and 410th Infantry regiments and various trains Z, and attachments, are located through out Arizona and New Mexico. i The 307th Regiment of the 1TSth Field Artillery Brigade, another unit of the 103rd Division, will,also be re- ! cruited Tn Arizona, said Major Nc I Cleve.
 No Examination for Vets
 Former officers iB the army, incIu- ding those who served as officers dur ing the world war emergency, will be appointed without examination to the { highest rank they held during the war, according 10 Major McCleve. Civilians who desire commissions in the reserve will be required to take examinations, he said. Full information regarding the reserve and application blanks have been supplied Major McKean, who is actively engaged in building up the commissioned and non-cOmmis- stoned personnel in the Warren dis trict
 Major McCleve will leave this morn ing for Nogales. He is one of eight irregular officers now attached to the 103rd Reserve Division headquarters in Denver.
 You may wonder what eight off cers find to do att the headquarters, said Major McCleve, But, believe me when I say they are busy all the time There is a tremendous amount of pa per work involved in allocating and organizing the many Vnits in q reserve division. While we re proceeding slowly, we are making great deal of headway. All we need is d little more support from the ex-seryice men of the nation and a larger appropriation from congress. Then we Yill be able to go ahead and build up in the south west one of the strongest and most dependable reserve divisions in the country"
