BERLIN, July 29.-The papers this week
have been giving their verdict on the out
come of the peace conference at The
Hague. The tone of the comment of the
papers friendly to the conference gener-|
ally is one of disappointment that so lit
lie has been accomplished, while those op-
posing indulge in gleeful Fluctuations that
no more was accomplished.
The Tageblatt considers that the form of
arbitration adopted marks an important
step toward securing the peace of the
world, and adds: Whoever knows the toll
some way in which progress of internation-
al law is made will be satisfied with this
result"
The Post says: "The result shows that
those who had been neither too optimistic
nor too pessimistic in expectations were in
the right" The most important result the
Post sees is that a method is now open to
nations for settling difficulties, saying:
while the conference has not ushered in
the millennium, still it shows that the
powers are earnestly striving to preserve
for the peoples the blessings of peace"

calls the final protocol funeral oration
and says the results equal zero.
The Kreuz Zeitung, referring to the
United States and England, says: 1.-THE
nations that boasted loudest of their hu-
manity made the stoutest resistance to
really practical humanitarian propositions"
The Kreuz Zeitung further points out
that. while England and the United States
stood together in opposing the prohibition
of bombs filed with noxious gases, the
United States backed up EngIand's refusal

tonic declaration of the conference for the
principles of the cars proclamation the
Kreuz Zeitung continues, Introduces ab-
solutely no change in existing conditions"
The Agrarian Deutsche Tages Zeitung
makes merry over the friends of peace,
whose cherished hopes are far from being
realized.
The Socialist Vorwaerts gives the con-
ference a parting shot, calling 1t a comedy.
