sons in the Philippine campaign, as

The achievements of these boys, who
so CALAMITY fought at Malate, Marloa,
Calumpit. and at almost every other
point where battles ragged in Luzon,
will always be q matter of pride TO the
people of Utah. The state has cause
for rejoicing when it is remembered
that with all of the dash and spirit
which her volunteers have displayed,
her losses have been comparatively
slight. Notwithstanding the fact that
the Utah batteries have taken part IN
more engagements than those OF any
other state, they are returning with
few vacant places in their ranks.
