Germany on Gambetta's Death.

The North German Gazette says: In Ger

personification of revenge. His name has
always been associated with the sound ofthe
war trumpet but there has also ever existed
in Germany generous appreciation Of for
eign merit and greatness of character. Ger.

the bier of an enemy with whom she victo-
riously wrestled in brave and honest
struggle. German military authorities I'M
