Therefore, when the United States declared war against Germany, Bill, who was in the employ of the New Cornelia at Ajo, straightway thought of Jack Greenway. He said to himself, “All hell can’t keep Jack Greenway from going to the front, and it’s me for Jack Greenway.” He foresaw a great experience “over there,” the doing of extraordinary things, and he wanted to be with Greenway in the performance. Greenway, of course, tendered his services to the Government at once and was given a commission as Major of Engineers. Now let the Bisbee _Review_ continue the story as it got it direct from Colonel Greenway in Bisbee town. One day Bill walked into the Captain’s office in Warren just as he was preparing to close his desk and quit the office. “Well, Captain, I’ve quit over yonder,” Bill remarked, after the salutations. “What did you quit for, Bill?” “I’m going into the army with you.” “Have you enlisted?” “Hell, no. I’m no fool. If I enlisted over here I might not go to France for months, perhaps not at all. I’m going with you, and shall enlist in your regiment after I get to France,” was the way Bill figured it out. [Illustration: _Courtesy of Munseys._ Lieutenant Arthur McKeogh He brought relief to a battalion by making a daring journey through the German lines with two other men. On the way to the American lines he killed one German officer, fell into a trench with two others and killed them, and was under fire all the time.] Greenway couldn’t make Bill see the futility of the idea of getting over to France without enlisting in the service, so there was nothing to do but let Bill come along. They took the train together at Osborn, Bill carrying his bed rolled up in a slicker, and together they made the trip to New York. Bill met some of his old comrades of the Cuban campaign and confided to them his plans. They told him how impossible it was, and that he could not even get on the dock at Hoboken without a pass. Bill’s urbane confidence may have been a little shaken but not his determination. He went to Washington to see Senator Ashurst, and the Senator tried to get Bill a passport but without success, as there was no way for the War Department to act in the circumstances. Bill came back to New York with more determination than ever. “I got my sailing orders,” said Greenway, “and with my sister, sister-in-law and Bill went to the Hoboken pier and found that I was to sail on the _Agamemnon_, which was formerly the German steamship _Kaiser Wilhelm II_. I went aboard and found that I had a large and comfortable stateroom and came ashore and told Bill. “Bill declared that he was going to get aboard of that boat, although I pointed out the guards to him and told him how impossible it was. Bill was not disconcerted in the least. After sizing up the situation to his own satisfaction he said: “‘Just you get somebody to talk to that guard over there to distract his attention while you are going through the gate.’
