Show Utah's History In Great World War Noble Warrum, former Salt Lake postmaster, writer and prominent in western politics, has had published a neat volume containing a record of the part Utah men and women played in the recent world war. The book is written and compiled by Mr. Warrum and contains a brief outline of the causes, the steps which led the United States gvernment to take part, the ferocity of the many conflicts con-flicts and much other data that make the publilation highly valuable. There are some forty chapters, written in Mr. Warrum's best style, which means that they are full of fire, force and logic. Beautiful tributes tri-butes are paid the fighting men, the Utah boys and the women for the sacrifices for the sake of humanity. These chapter are followed by a classified class-ified roster of all soldiers, sailors and marines, with a separate list of officers and nurses, indicating those who saw service overseas. The final chapter is a plea for Armistice day to be made an international inter-national holiday, advancing the idea that the sentiment behind it would do more than leagues or treaties to draw the nations together and bring about mutual appreciation and better understanding, which would tend to lessen the dangers of future wars. The book is well printed on first-class first-class paper, beautifully bound in embossed em-bossed impressions of the capitol and the erreat - seal of the state. It is not for sale, having been published for free distribution among the committeemen com-mitteemen and members of the state council of defense who donated their time to the country during the war. Its purpose is to preserve data which will be more difficult to assemble as time passes. It will be a matter of regret to many that there are no copies offered for sale, as it is a work of unquestioned merit. |
