OPINIONS OF THE ENGLISH PRESS.
London, December 18. Lord Rosebery was continuously cheered during his speech.
The Right Hon. H. Asquith and Sir Edward Grey, respectively Home Secretary and Under-Secrctary for Foreign Affairs in tbo last Liberal Ministry, were present, and unreservedly endorsed Lord Rosebory's views. It is the general opinion that Lord Rosebery's brilliant speech strengthens the war policy. Its strong Imperial ring is much commended.
The Times says the ex-Promicr rises with rare completeness to the level of a great occasion.
The Standard expresses disappointment at Lord Rosebery remaining stationary and not supporting the Cabinet in a whole-hearted manner.
The Daily Chronicle is hopeful that the speech will'do good all round. The Westminister Gazette says everybody finds something and nobody every thing they want in the speech. The extreme Radical press is bitter and cynical.
