| BERLIN July 2a-The papers this
| week have been giving their verdict OF
l the outcome Of the peace conference at
l The Hague The tone OF the comment OF
| the papers friendly To the conference gen
orally is one OF disappointment that so
| little has been accomplished. while those
| opposing indulge in gieesui feiicitations
| that no more was accomplished. The
Taxebaatt considers that the form Of
l arbitration adopted marks an important
| step toward securing the peace of the
world, and adds: whoever knows the
| soilsome way in which progress of inter
| national law Is made will be satisfied
| with this result
The Pest says: ssThs result shows that
| these who had been neither too optimts-
| tic nor too pessimistic In expectations
| were in the right"
The most important result the Post
| sees Is that q method il now open to-
nations for settling dif11culties. saying:
"whiie the conference has not ushered
Il
| powers are earnestly striving to pre-
| serve for the peoples the blessings OF
| peace"
| The National Liberal Boersen Zeitung
| calls the final protocol funeral Grafton.
| and says the results equal zero.
| The Kreuz Zeitung. referring to the
| United States and England. says: The
| nations that boasted ioudest Of their hui
manity made the stoufest resistance to
Il rffeaf hatrna pitariau nrppnSi-
! tons"
| The Kreuz Zeitung further points out
| that while England and the United
| States stood together in opposing the pro-
| hibit;on of bombs filled with noxiotis gases
the United States backed up Engiands
| refusal TO abandon the dumdum bullet.
THE platonic declaration OF the con-
| ference for the principles of the czars
| proclamation" the Kreuz Zeitung con-
| tinues. introduces absolutely no change
| In existing conditions.
The Agrarian Deutsche Tages Zeitung
| makes merry over the friends OF peace.
| whose cherished hopes are far from be-
| ing realized.
The Socialist vorwasrts gives the con-
ference parting shot. calling it COM,
| edy.
The hardest work Of the members"
| this journal says. was to refrain from
| laughing In each Others faces at their
| own insincerity."
| American Delegates Good Work.
| The Hague correspondent OF the Frank
| furter Zeitung says:
The American delegates are quite salts
| fed with the achievements OF the confer
| ence. They played a very happy role.
| which they were able to do through their
| conc.liatory position 1t was chiefly due
| 10 this position of the Americans that Ger

situation had grown critical. and II SEEM

| solve prematurely and nothing be accom-

| odtun OF the fasco upon Germany and
| have had the effect Of fsolating her in her

| DIR. Arons' Case.
| The press OF Berlin deyotes much atten-
l ton to the Arons case. DR.. Arons 10 q
| professor who lectured on physics In Ber-
l In university, and is n social democrat,
whose presence in the university had Civ
en- great ofTense TO those who favored dras-
| tic measures for opposing socialism. The
| diet passed law year ago called by
| the press the Arons law, making 1t posi-

tired Prof. Arons and unanimously de-
| clared that they saw no occasion to take
| action. The states attorney appealed the
| case to the ministry. who, IL is regarded
| certain. will dismiss Prof. Arons.
The papers OF all parties discuss the case
| at great length. The pan-Germanic
Deutsehe Zeitung says the faculty Of Ber-
| lin university have shown the same inca
| pacty for consideration OF state affairs
that was shown by some professors in
| treating the Spanish question last year
The Kreuz Zeitung reproaches the fac
| uity with holding that social democrats
| should be treated upon an equal footing
| with other parties, and formulates the at
| tituie o. the conservatives as follows. 1T
| is impossible 10 treat party that declares
| war upon the state and the existing social
order as having the same political rights
| as other parties"
| The Dresdener Nachrfchten re-echoes
| this sentiment, adding that the day Of po-
| htcal equality for socialists Is against pub
| lie welfare. and hence IL s. the duty OF
| Judges everywhere 10 take into account
| this fact I'm the administration of justice.
The Liberal papers side with the faculty.
| holding that their decision was the only
| one consistent with the freedom OF uni
versisy Instruction. The censrist press
defends the faculty ON the ground that
Prof Arons as professor Of physics does
| not handle tie question Of socialism In his
| lectures.
