Berlin, July 2s.-The papers this week
have been giving their verdict on the out
come Of the peace conference ct The
Hague. The tone Of the comment Of the
papers friendly to the conference gener-
ally is one Of disappointment that so little
has been accomplished. while those OPP
posing indulge in gleeful fluctuations that
no more was accomplished.
The Tageblatt considers that the form
Of arbitration adopted marks an import
ant step toward securing the peace OF
the world, adding: whoever knows the
toilsome way in which international law
is made will be satised with this result"
The Post says: THE result shows that
those who have been neither too Optimis-
tic nor too pessimistic in expectations
were in the right" The most important
result the Post sees Is that method Is
nov open to nations for settling difficult
ties, saying: while the conference has
not ushered in the millennium, still it
shows that the powers are earnestly
striving to preserve Ror the peoples the
blessings Of peace"
The National Liberal Boerson Zeitung
calls the final protocol a funeral Grafton
and says the results equal zero.
The Kreuze Zeitung, referring to the
United States and Enkland, says: The
nations that boosted loudest Of their hu-
mainly made the stoutest resistance TO
really practical humanitarian PROPOSE
tons" The Kreuze Zeitung further points
out that while England and the United
States stood together in opposing the pro-
hibition Of bombs filled with noxious
gases. the United States backed up Eng
lands refusal to abandon the dumdum
bullet. THE platonic declaration of the
conference for the principles Of the cars
proclamation, the Kreuze 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 being
realized.
The Socialist voaerwarts gives the con-
ference a parting shot, callink 1t COM
edy. 1.-The hardest work of the mem
bers," this journal says, was to refrain
from laughing in each others faces at
their own insincerity."
The press OF Berlin devotes much at
tention TO the Arons case. DR.. Arons IS
a professor who lectured on physics in
Berlin university and is Social Demo-
crat, whose presence in the university
had given great offense TO all favorable
TO drastic measures for combating so
cIalism. The diet passed law a year ago
called by the press the Arons law, max
ing 1t possible for the government to pro
coed against and dismiss socialist protes-
sors Under this the philosophical faculty
tried Professor Arons week ago and
unanimously declared that they saw no
occasion to take action. The states at
torney appealed the case TO the ministry,
who, Il is regarded certain. viii dismiss
Professor Arons. The papers Of all par
ties discuss the case at great length The
Pan-Germanic Deutsche Zeitung says the
faculty of the Berlin university have
shown the same incapacity for considera-
ton OF state affairs that was shown by
some professors in treating the Danish
question last year. The KreuZe Zeitunk
reproaches the faculty with holding that
Social Democrats should be treated upon
an equal footing with other parties, and
formulates the attitude Of the conserva-
tives as follows: 'Tt Is impossible to treat
a party that declares war upon the state
and the existing social order, as having
the same political rights as other par
ties" The Dresdener Nachrichten re-
echoes this sentiment. adding that the
idea OF political equality for Socialists is
against public welfare. and hence 1t Is
the duty OF judges everywhere to take
into account this fact IN the adninistra-
ton OF Justice Che liberal papers side
with the faculty. holding that their de-
cision was the only one consistent with
the freedom of university instruction. The
Centrist press defends the faculty on the
ground that Prof. Arons as professor OF
physics. does not handle the question OF
socialism in his lectures.
The Solicen chamber OF commerce re-
ports that exports from that district to
the United tates have fallen of 40 per
cent as the result Of the DinEley tariff.
The Dresden chamber Of commerce COM
plains loudly OF the increase Of American
competition. especially in manufactured
articles, and explains that American SUI

labor and specialization. enabling them to
produce cheaper In spite OF higher wages.
The report admits that Americans sell at
low. even cut-throat prices. but explains
this by the assertion that hlch duties en-
able manufacturers to sell for .hieh prices

plus abroad ct the lowest prices. The
rate Of the falling OF in exports to the
United States leads TO the view that ex-
portation will cease entirely and that 1t
will become necessary for German manu-
Iacturers to build branches in the United
States
A Westphallan paper reports that nego-
iaaons have been proceeding between
Paris and Berlin the past ten DAYS pre-
paratory to the visit Of the emperor to
Cherbourg or Brest on his return from

lions are being made Tor the arrival OF
