WARNING TO SPEEDERS.

Citizens of Wauseon. who willfully,
thoughtlesly or carelessly have per-
sisted in violating the Tragic Ordin-
ance in regard to speeding autos on
the streets, also running with mufflers
open, have reached the limit of pa
tience of the marshal Mr.. Robert
Sweeny. Mr.. Sweeny considers their
persistent violation of the speed limit
law an imposition on good nature and
is prepared to take stringent action
in the matter. Mr.. Sweeny has 'ttim-
ed' a number of these violators, and
has announced his intention of prose-
cutting any further violation of the
speed limit law regardless of who
they are; he will secure help if need
ed to carry out this decision. Any one
who desires may secure a copy of the
Traffic Ordinance from Mr.. Sweeny.
The section in regard to speed is very
liberal. The speed limit on Fulton
street between Oak street and Chest
nut street is ten miles an hour on all
other streets of the city the limit is
fifteen miles an hour. Those who
persist in driving faster will hereaf-
ter "show% Police Judge Deyo the
reason why and pay him for the pri-
vilege and such costs are higher much
than gasoline or the high cost of
living.

THE FIRST CAMPAIGN
NapOIeOns First Campaign for Vienna The Defeat of
The Allies at Austerlitz Items of History That
Influence The Present European Situation
By Earle M. Wood

Although Napoleon has driven the
Austrians out of Italy, he had by no
means conquered them. Austria was
more determined than ever to win
back her lost possessions from France,
so when Napoleon was busy with
some naval plans regarding the in
vasion of England, Austria sought to
form an alliance with Russia and
Prussia against him. Prussia held
back from making any agreement,
for she well knew how powerful the
French army was, but Russia, jealous
of the. power of France, was ready to
plot with Austria for the destruction
of that country. The Austrian En-
peror, Francis, and the Gear Alex
ander. after working out campaign
decided to strike Napoleon first on
German soil. Accordingly, large
Austrian army was sent through the
minor German states and was station
ed at Ulm, where they planned to
meet Russian army which was to re-
enforce them. Napoleon saw that ne
must move quickly to prevent this
joining, so he marched his troops in
to Germany and fell upon the Aus
trians at Ulm. The Austrians were
so surprised that they did not offer
any great resistance, and they sur.
rendered the city with thousands OF
prisoners to the French Emperor.
Resolved to complete his victory
over Austria before the forces OF
Russia could come to her assistance
he pushed on to Vienna. The Emperor
Francis fled to the north with his
army to join the Gar who was hasten
ing southwark to aid him. But Ma
poleon had marched into Vienna and
had taken up his abode in the i'm
perial palace, at the same time plan
ming to pursue the Austrians and
give battle outside the walls Of the
city.
When Napoleon's troops had march
ed about eighty-five miles to the
northward, they came upon the Aus,
trians and Russians at the village OF
Austerlitz. The battlefield was dom
mated by a high hill called Pratzer
Hill which the Allies eagerly seized
upon as a commanding position.
The next day the Austrians anc
Russians began their operations
against the French by throwing hugs
bodies of infantry into action. Ma
poleon had been clever enough tt
spread his army out so that it wal
necessary for the Allies to spread ou
also in order to successfully comba
him. When they had thinned out IL
long line, they did not realize tina
the French had large body o
troops in reserve to hurl against thel
weakened center.
After the infantry fighting ha'
lasted several hours, Napoleon though

it was time to take Pratzen Hill and
win the battle. He therefor gave his
orders that the heights were to be
stormed, and as the hill was held only
by comparatively few Russians, his
troops did not experience very great
difficulty in rushing up the slopes
and driving the Russians down the
other side in confusion. Immediately
after the capture of the hill. Prince
Murat's cavalry iercely attacked the
center of the Allies army, cutting the
main body into two parts. One wing
succeeded in making an escape, but
the other was compelled to flee across
a frozen river to safety The French
guns, now mounted on Pratzen Hill
beneath the onslaught and carried two
thousand Russians to their death.
The Allies retreated from the field
in great disorder and hastened north
ward to escape further punishment,
but the Emperor Francis remained to
sue for peace. The two Emperors
met at country windmill, and Fran
els ceded to Napoleon the rich ter
ritory of the Trentino Venetia, Venice
and Dalmatia. The Austrian uprising
against France had cost her dear, and
had established Napoleon as the most
powerful monarch in Europe.
In order to convince Austria that
he was in position to dictate terms
to her. he sought an alliance with the
German state of Bavaria. The King
of Bavaria had manageable daugh-
ter who Napoleon decided to marry
to his stepson, Prince Eugene, vice
roy of Italy, but it happened that she
was bethrothed to the Duke of Baden.
Napoleon annulled the bethrothal at
once, and gave the Duke Josephine's
| cousin for bride, so that the Bavarian
princess could marry Eugene. By
this master stroke, he bound France
to Bavaria and Baden at once, SO
that Austria saw that her domin-
alton of Germany was over. Ger
many had always been a free road
through which she could march her
armies against Paris, but now she
saw that not only the Italian passes
but the German highways were bar
red against her. Austria had been
completely crushed, and she shrank
from the new alliance which Russia
and Prussia were forming against
| Napoleon,

VOLUME THIRTY-THREE
The Tribune Begins The Thirty
third Year of Its Life With This
Issue--A Glance Over The Past and
a Look Toward The Future-Help
Us Carry Out Program.

The present issue of the Tribune
marks the beginning of the thirty
third year of continuous publication
since the paper was established in
1883. This issue is in fact an ami
versary number and we are celebrat-
ing the event by putting out a twelve
page edition this week: We do not
wish to take the credit for this act
to ourselves for it belongs to our
advertisers who have crowded our
pages with substantial and interest
ing news concerning various kinds of
merchandise, which after all is OF
pl lme Importance to a large majority
Of our readers.
We have finished the thirty-second
year of our existence as a County
Newspaper and we are not ashamed
Of the record that has been made. The
Tribune has established a place for
itself among the people of the county
as a reliable home paper-it has given
the news Of the county seat town
and the county government to people
in all parts of the county and it has
been a factor in developing a feeling
of nsighborliness among all the citi-
zens of the county. 1t has gone to
all parts of the United States and in
to foreign countries as a Letter
from Home" to absent ones, carrying
news of loved ones, neighbors and
friends to cheer homesick hearts, to
hold fast the home ties and to call
the wanders back from their wander
ings to the "old home folks"
Through all the years this paper
has stood for the best things in the
progress and development of the COM
munity and the cause of right has
been championed always in its coll
umns. The men who have worked in
the past TO accomplish these things
were not laggards and the task of
the editors and publishers of a coun-
try newspaper is not an easy one
Sherwood, Knapp, Fluhart, Smith,
jameson, Shinaberger, Reighard; /;
these are the men who have woven
the fabric of the Tribune's past rec
ord and right well have they labored;
the present publishers find it a plea
sure to carry on a work so well be-
gun. But not to these alone is due
the credit for the splendid record of
the past; there is a long, long list of
correspondents and contributors who
have worked to make the Tribune
what it is and with these must he
counted the army of subscribers and
advertisers who by their patronage
have made it possible for this paper
to continue its publication through
the years. We remember with CRATE
full appreciation these who have lab
ored in the past and look forward to
thn futura 1rrikh r,ox.r o0npoo.o ond 10
termination for the remembrance.
We feel that we have the good viii
the help and the support of a larger

in New York of Mrs. Amy Haubiel

of woman. She was a true and faith
full wife, a wise and loving mother

the development and advancement OF
her children and her plans for them
were more nearly realized than those
of most mothers.
I We wish as Chapter, to extend
our deepest sympathy to her son Viii
