Berlin. Aug. 27.-The German press continues
10 discuss the peace conditions from various
points Of view. a majority of the papers accord
ing to the United States high praise for the mod
Grafton the American Government has displayed.
Most OF them seem to expect that difficulties Will
arise over the ultimate disposition and control
OF the Philippines. but rule the arguments
advanced repetltions and threadbare.
The "KDnische Zeituag's' editorial may be
worth quoting as there Is the best reason for be-
l!eving that IT was inspired. 1t says
"Beforc definite peace IS concluded consider
able time must eapse Meanwhile the interna-
tional situation T.. the Philippines and the Far
East generally may have changed materially.
1t is not likely that Spain and the United States
will agree to n definite settlement Of the Philip
rines question without taking the advice Of the
Powers interested. particularly Russia and
France"
The Foreign once maintains absolute retl-
cence as to the present attitude OF the Govern
ment on the subject.
