LONDON. Jan. 13-The speech of Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain at Birmingham, is
being commented upon from the party
standpoint. 1t was delivered at the annual
dinner of the jewelers. and Silversmiths'
Association, an entirely nOnpartsan gath
ering.
Mr.. Chamberlain was in high spirits and
spoke more deliberately than usual. putting
a cigar at intervals. His references to
Count Won Buelow. the imperial chancellor
of Germany, were calmly and even con-
temptuOusly given. Mr.. Chamberlain's re-
ply meets with approval from men of his
own party, but IN many quarters friendly

should thrust his own personality so much
10 the front
The Morning Post says that in this mat
ter Mr.. Chamberlain has the nation solid at
his back.
The Daily Telegraph declares that Count
Won Buelow has helped to make Mr..
Chamberlain an even more popular and
powerful figure throughout the empire.
The Daily Mail believes that the quarrel
between Count Won Buelow and Mr.. Cham

mits that Mr.. Chamberlain has nothing to

by suggesting an alliance. and now is

which may go further. Great Britain's
hands are too full I'm South Africa to want
trouble with Germany. The Daily Mail ex-
presses thankfulness that Mr.. Chamberlain
is not the British minister OF foreign af-
fairs.
The Daily Chronicle. writing on lines
somewhat similar TO those of the Daily
Mail. wishes that the masterful minister
could learn sufficient dignity and patriotism
to sink his own personality in the consid-
GRAFTON OF imperial interests. 1t declares
that burst of national enthusiasm might
have resulted from Saturdays speech, but
that the country remembers Mr.. Chamber
