The Capture Of Warsaw.

Ten months ago, when the German armies
entered Antwerp, the moral effect or TINS
shining triumph was felt all over the
world. 1t was a supreme achievement Of
German mechanical skill, of German can
non over mighty Notifications.
The capture of Warsaw will have an
equally great moral effect, and II Is
4r;pmnb of men even more than machines.
i &c not too much to say it is the culmlna-
ton of the most gigantic strategicaI
operation military history has known, the
end Of a campaign in which millions have
fought and whole provinces have been
crossed by the battle fronts.
But the capture of Antwerp proved an
enontv success. because the Belgian army
escaped. 1t completed the conquest OF
Belgium. but it was only the last step IN
bringing the whole western operations TO
a deadlock. The true Importance OF the
latest German feat must be measured IN
the same fashion.
If the Grand Dukes army has escaped,
Germany will have missed supreme sue
cess in the east, and only supreme success
could Justify the cost in men and material
of the last two months. If she has dis
persed or captured the bulk of the Russian
army her victory will pass anything In
modern history and constitute the gravest
defeat the Allied cause has known. 1t IS
for the facts concerning Russian retreat
that the world must wait before passing
Judgment on the Warsaw campaign.

An Unjustified Assumption.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Reading an editorial in your issue Of
August 2 shows that The Tribune realizes
that optometry has developed to a degree
that would permit of it extending and en-
larging its scope. 1t indeed gave me great
pleasure to read your opinion, particularly
as it was given without being sought.

sufficient to bring the industry to the
point of repeating the strike Of five years
ago. the contracting parties have again
been able to get together on give-and-
take basis. To that must be added the
fact that the Mayors council will remain
in existence as body to study the problem
on which it already has given such help,
to be in position to render such help in
future. The new agreement, therefore,
has greater promise of success and USE
full life than the pioneer protocol.

A FATAL HUNTING ACCIDENT
LEO RONEY KILLED SUNDAY AT

pened. Died Instantly.


shocking and deplorable fatal
accident happened Sunday in Canoe
township between twelve and one
o'clock, when Leo Roney of Decor
alb, lost his life. The young man in
company with boy friend, John
Elliot, left DEBORAH Sunday morning
about ten o'clock, with a horse and
buggy and hunting dog. Leo had
double barreled II gauge shot gun
and Elliot had rifle.
The boys started out for Canoe
township. They left the horse and
buggy at Ed Sharps place, and then
walked over to Martin Keck's farm,
who by way is an uncle of the
Roney boy. The farm is about
mile and a half from Sharp's. The
boys had reached piece of woods,
owned by the Roney boys father. At
the edge of the woods Leo told Eli
OF to stay there and hold the dog
and he would go on into the woods,
climb a tree, and later Elliot could
with the help of the dog, circle
around and drive the game towards
him, and he would shoot it from the
tree. About five minutes afterwards
Elliot heard shot, and thinking
that Leo had bagged some game, hol-
lored, asking him what he got.' He
could not see Leo, and receiving no
answer, went into the woods where
he supposed Leo was, to investigate.
He found him lying on his side at
the bottom of a tree, with the upper
portion of his face and head shot
away. He was still alive, but died
in few minutes. Mr.. Elliot hurried
to the Keck home, and got Mr.. Keck.
They telephoned for a doctor right
away and Dr. Barefoot responded inn
mediately. Mr.. Keck went over to
where Leo laid and found him dead
Whether the accident happened when
he was up in the tree, or attempting
to climb up, will never be known. His
hat was up in the tree.
When the doctor arrived the re-
Imains were taken to the Keck home,
and later H. A. Schremser OF the De
corah Furniture Co. went out and
took the remains to their undertak-
ing parlors, and in the evening were
taken to the home of Leo's parents
Mr.. and Mrs. Owen Roney.
Leo was born in DEBORAH, Sept, 8
