the resolution and speech OF Dr. jacob be rated at
their proper worth not only Germany but partic-
ulary in France and that the French journals which
daily dish out 10 their readers sucn gigantic lies
about Germany may not broadly assert that the
views OF this gentleman are quietly approved among

purpose, and declare that there exists In Germany
aparty opposed 70 territorial compensation for the
OF the war, and tins gives them occasion for
melting the masses 70 further resistance. From
this standpoint the agitation OF Dr. Jacob has an
altogether dCerent significance. TO give encourage
ment TO our enemies Is just as bad az to provide
them with materials for carrying ON the war.
