Berlin July 29.-The papers this week
have been giving their verdicts on the
outcome of the peace conference at The
Hague.
The tone of the comment of papers
friendly to the conference generally Is
one of disappointment that so little has
been accomplished, while those opposing
indulge in gleefu fluctuations that no
more was accomplished.
The Tagebatt considers that the form
of arbitration adopted marks an import-
ant step toward securing the peace of
the world
The most important result the Post sees
is that a method is now open to nations
for settling difficulties, saying:
"Whlle 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"
The National Liberal Boersen Zeituna
calls the final protocol a funeral grafton.
and says that the results equal zero.
The Kreuz zetung. referring to the
United states and England, says;
THE nations that boasted loudest OF
| their humanity made the stoutest resist-
ance to really practically humanitarian
propositions"
The Kreuz Zeltung further points OUT
that while England and the United States
stood together in opposing the prohibition
Of bombs filled with noxious gases, the
United States backed up England's refusal
| to abandon the dumdum bullet.
"The patonic declaration of the confer-
ence for the prime pies OF the Cars proc
| lamation," the Kreuz Zeitung continues.
! Introduces absolutely no change in exists
| Ing conditions"
Against the Socialists.
The press of Berlin devotes much atten-
| ton TO the Arons case DIR. Arons is q
| professor who lectured on physics In Berlin
! University and a Social Democrat whose
presence in the university had given great
offense to all favorable to drastic meas
ures for combating socialism.
| The Diet passed a .aw year ago called
/ by the press the Arons law making II
| possible for the government to proceed
! against and dismiss Socialist professors.
| Under this the philosophical faculty
week ago tried Prof Arons and unani-
mousy declared that they saw no occa-
sion to take action. The states attorney
appealed the case to the ministry, who, Il
Is regarded as certain, will dismiss Prot.
! Arons
The Associated Press correspondence re-
cent interview with Dr. Schwarzenstein
! has been reproduced in the newspapers
! here with comment mostly friendly to the
! United States but the Deutsche Tages
j Zeitung takes occasion to express distrust
| OF the government and says;
'All depends upon the means employed
/ for preserving friendly relations with the
/ United states. American friendship Is not
worth having IL It must be purchased BY
| the abandonment of important German in
/ terests, especially economic advantages, or
! by keeping cool when German dignity Is
wounded"
Falling on In Exports.
The solingen Chamber OF Commerce re-
ports that exports from that district to the
United States have fallen off 40 per cent.
as the result of the Dingley tariff The
| Dresden Chamber OF Commerce complains
| loudly of the increase OF American compe-
! ttion, especially In manufactured articles,
aud explains that American superiori-
/ ~ In the worlds markets is due TO
| the extraordinary activity of United States
consu.s and TO the immense capital of
| American manufacturing companies per-
| hitting the greatest possible division OF la
! Dor and specialization. enabling them to
produce cheaper In spite of higher wages.
| The report admits that Americans sell at
1 low, even cut-throat prices, but explains
| .hls by the assef tlon that high duties ena-
| hle manufacturers 10 sen for high prices
| at home while they dispose OF their SUR
| Plus abroad at the lowest prices. The rate
| OF the falling Off in exports to the United
States leads to the view that exporlation
| VIII cease entirely and that 1t Will become
necessary for German manufacturers Ia
! build branches In The United States.
Some signs of Progress.
The motive power of the Berlin street
cars is being rapidly changed from horse
TO electricity. The result is that colli-
/ sions are Of daily occurrence, between elec-
| trio and other cars and wagons.
Telegraph boys will be experimentaly
| employed in Berlin, replacing men. The
change will begin soon.
| A German officers has invented an acety-
! lene searchiight which can be carried by
| one man and which viii illuminate every-
| thing for 100 yards. IT is expected 10 be
| OF great use In searching for the wounded
| after a battle and in bridge building at
| night
The announcement that one of the great
| American insurance companies has decid-
ed to comply with the requirements of the
| Russian law in order to be readmitted to
! do business here is received with the great
| est CONSERVATION In insurance circles.
The leading German insurance paper
/ this week has a strong protest, asserting
4 that experience shows that American COM
panies are untrustworthy and warning
| the government against again giving them
