'BIRKENHEAD GETS
GREAT CRITICISM
British Press Flags Him for
Speech at WilIamstoWn

! London, Aug. 27.--The Earl OF
Birkenhead, has received little SYM
pathy from the British press for the
position in which he finds himself as
result of the first address of bis
American tour delivered last Friday
evening before the institute of poll
tics at Williamstown. In fact in
stead of rallying to the support OF
the former lord chancellor, the press
tends to heap Goals upon the fire laid
by Henry Breckenridge, assistant sec
rotary of war under President Wilson
in Mr.. breckenridge statement OF
last Saturday.
The Times refrains from any sort
of comment on Lord Birkenhead's
remarks about Woodrow Wilson,
which drew the fire of Mr.. Brecken-
ridge. The Daily Telegraph and the
Morning Post also went to press to-
day without editorials on the speech
but their Washington correspondents
cabled their impressions. With the
former newspaper is the only British
correspondent to show sympathy
with the former chancellor.
The Morning Post asserts that 1.-THE
effect of Birkenheads injudicious re-
marks is to confirm the isolationists
in the wisdom of their policy of turn
ing their backs on Europe"
In an editorial headed 'L'Enfant
Terrible Abroad" the Daily News says
that the British do not like the Am
erican tariff laws but would welcome
an almost prohibitive tariff on the
importation of former members of
British cabinets and rigid customs
examination of the contents of their
lecture tour portfolios.
The Westminster Gazette processes
to understand the feeling that prompt
ed the protests against the former
lord chancellor's speech but hopes
that undue importance will not be
attached to his words, asserting that
the coalition, like other hybirds. died
without posterity and that there are
few politicians in Great Britain to-
day who now speak so exclusively for
themselves as does Birkenhead.
Discussing the subject matter of
the Williamstown address the West
Gazette points out the I'M
fairness of arguing that Woodrow
Wilson is the agent of the present
post war conditions.
Europe is what 1t is because of
the mistakes and misdeeds of those
who have actively influenced its de-
velopment and who we're by no
means disposed to help Wilson when
his power was at its highest" says
this newspaper.

From this tank, through hole about

while in this country.

out, "and SO have many American

This suspension is the second of it's
kind within a period of ten days and
followed the instigation Of voluntary
bankruptcy proceedings and the ap-
pointment of a receiver for the COM
pany.
Shortly after midday the defunct
firm was instructed to close all con-
tracts without delay. and this brought
about another wave of buying or
selling under the rule" The result
was an extremely unsettled move
ment of prices.
The market opened lower. but with
the majority Of stocks down only
fractionally. These losses were ex-
tended. however. following the above
announcement.

mining shares alike figured in the
