"Men and Women and Guns" from Herman Cyril McNeile. British soldier and author (1888-1937).
Excerpt from Utah in the World War: The Men Behind the Guns and the Men and Women Behind the Men Behind the Guns In the preparation of a memorial book for a limited edition to be distributed among the heads of the several councils and committees who directed the activities of the army of civilians with-out whose Whole-hearted services mere fight ing would have been useless, it has been deemed desirable to curtail particulars of transient or purely personal interest and present a general outline of wartime conditions, opera tions and issues as they affected the people of Utah. To follow the movements of enlisted men from this state would be to write a history of the war during a dreadful year and a half of incessant fighting, for there were Utah boys among the Allies on every front and in almost every battle after we got fairly started. Any satisfactory account of their military exploits would require many such volumes and must be left to the future. This record has no such pre tentions aim. The information it is intended to preserve has been condensed in order to print, for the first time, a bare list of those who wore the uniform, while a register of all who served faithfully with'out uniforms would be at least as long again.

Excerpt from Dangers and Duties: Talks to Men and Women "Shot your guns," said Napoleon as he stood on the gates of the Tuileries and saw the Directory's batteries firing blank-cartridges into the swarming ranks of the insurrectionists. "Shot your guns," is the most important thing for the pulpit to learn to-day. We need more definite, practical, personal attack upon the evils and dangers of to-day. Men do not care to listen to preaching which is only a feeble echo of the words which moved the world in the days of the Schoolmen. That world has passed away. "All things have become new." The ministry is naturally conservative. It must cling to its institutions and organization by the necessity of its creed. But while it must forever fight a wild radicalism, it ought to fight it with the most recent and effective weapons. There is a mighty chasm between Hastings, fought with bow and arrow, and Sedan, with mitrailleuse and needle-gun, and there ought to be as much change in the arsenal of the pulpit. We must change our methods. We must interest men by preaching to them as sensibly and practically and wisely as men talk to them in business and in politics, as lawyers talk to juries.

"What does it feel like to be shelled?" she demanded. "Explain it to me." Under the influence of my deceased uncle's most excellent port I did so. Soothed and in that expansive frame of mind induced by the old and bold, I drew her a picture-vivid, startling, wonderful. And when I had finished, the dear old lady looked at me. "Dreadful!" she murmured. "Did I ever tell you of the terrible experience I had on the front at Eastbourne, when my bath-chair attendant became inebriated and upset me?" Slowly and sorrowfully I finished the decanter-and went to bed. But seriously, my masters, it is a hard thing that my aunt asked of me. There are many things worse than shelling-the tea-party you find in progress on your arrival on leave; the utterances of war experts; the non-arrival of the whisky from England. But all of those can be imagined by people who have not suffered; they have a standard, a measure of comparison. Shelling-no. The explosion of a howitzer shell near you is a definite, actual fact-which is unlike any other fact in the world, except the explosion of another howitzer shell still nearer. Many have attempted to describe the noise it makes as the most explainable part about it. And then you're no wiser.
