Show HEROINES RETURN. 1 Miss Maud Fitch of Eureka, this state, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Fitchj Sr., has returned to Utah after serving as ambulance driver in the French service for fourteen months. Miss Fitch wears the croix de guerre with a gold star, which the French government gov-ernment awarded her for bravery under fire. Miss Minnie Sullivan, former superintendent su-perintendent of nurses at the L. D. S. hospital in this city and at the state mental hospital at Provo, has also returned re-turned from France after faithful service serv-ice in the field and base hospitals "over there." Both of these youDg women give all the credit for winning the war to the boys who went over the top and manned the guns at the front. They are much too modest in this respect. They answered the call to arms and risked their lives in the harvest of death and they are justly entitled to a 6hare in tho glory won by the allied armies. Some of the brave lassies who went to the front now sleep beneath the sod in France. Others have returned wounded or shattered in health. That Misses Fitch and Sullivan escaped when the enemy shells were falling thick and fast is their good fortune. But they were willing to die for the cause of 'liberty. So they will ever be regarded as heroines of the first class by the patriotic people of Utah. Tho Tribune voices the sentiments of the entire community in welcoming them home and wishing them long life and unalloyed happiness after tneir strenuous strenu-ous experience. |
