FIELD ARTILLERY BEATS
INFANTRY BATTALIONS

CAMP EMMETT CRAWFORD, Wyo.,
Aug S.-The Utah battery of field
artillery under command of Captain
Will c. Webb, who won his first spurs
in the Philippines, and two battalions
of Utah infantry under command of
Majors Zimmerman and Williams, put
ments of infantry, three of cavalry and
three mountain batteries backed up by
force of signal corps and engineers.
The problem was that the advance of
a large army was to push through a
narrow pass through the Sherman
mountains, to prepare the way for the
passage of a larger army the next day.
The utility of the signal troops was
demonstrated during this action and
many officers who have refused to rec
ognize the signal corps as a useful arm
during conflict were won over by the
signal company.
