CHAMBERLAIN'S VICTORY.

GERMAN PRESS SILENCED

By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright London, Jan. 14.

Mr Chamberlain has practically silcueod the German press, whose tono is now temperato and polite. Thero is a general desire to close the incident. Great enthusiasm exists at tho Cape at this turn of ovents.

The New South W T nlcs Agent-General suggested and headed a subscription to reprint Mr Chamberlain’s speech in pamphlet form, and forward it to tho soldiers at tho front.

Sydney, Jan. 14. A correspondent of the Daily Telegraph advocates tho formation of an Anti-German League, tho members pledging themselves not to buy Gorman-made goods as a setoff to the hostility of tho German pooplo towards Great Britain.

Melbourne, Jan. 14,

The Age, commenting on tho Gorman Anglophabia, says tho voico of the German press, it must be remembered, is tho voice of the German Government, tho press being muzzled or unmuzzled at tho will of tho Chancellor in Berlin. The real sentiment of the Government may bo interpreted in Count von Bulow's studiously offensive and deliberately uttored language. Ono of the effects we imagino to bo a fresh impulse to the current in public opinion of Great Britain, which is setting toward a friendly understanding with Russia. The timo appears peculiarly opportune for a re-approaehment of Great Britain, Russia, and Franco.
