speech, in which Germany's- opposition
to the permanency of the arbitration
court was emphasized, the situation
had grown critical and. it seemed prob
able that the conference would dissolve

plished, which would have brought
odium of the fasco upon Germany and
have the effect of isolating her in her
relations with other powers"
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 a social
democrat, whose presence in the uni
versity had given great offense to those
who favored drastic measures for OPP
posing socialism. The diet passed
law year ago, called by the press the
Arons law. making it possible for the
government TO proceed against and
dismiss socialist professors. Under this
the philosophic faculty a week ago tried
Professor Arons and unanimously de-
clared that they saw no occasion to
take action. The states attorney ap-
pealed the case to the ministry, who,
it is regarded certain, will dismiss Pro-
lessor Arons.
Professor Arons Discussed.
The papers of all parties discuss the
case at great length. The Pan-Ger-
manic Deutche Zeitung says the facul-
ty of Berlin university have shown the
same incapacity for consideration of
state affairs that was shown by some
professors in treating the Danish ques-
ton last year.
The Kreuz Zeitung reproaches the
faculty with holding that social demo-
Gratis should be treated upon an equal
footing with other parties and formu-
lateS the attitude of the conservatives
as follows:
1T is impossible to treat party that
declares war upon the state and the
existing social order as having the
same political rights as other parties.
The liberal papers side with the fac
ulty holding that their decision was
the only one consistent with the free
dom of university instruction. The
centrist press defends the faculty on
the ground that Professor Arons, as
professor of physics, does not handle
the question of socialism in his lee
lures.
It is observed that since the presi-
dent of the reichstag has permitted
discussions of the emperor's utterances,
if they are printed in the official
Reichzanzeiger, the kalser's kilograms
no longer appear in that paper, but in
the semi-official horde Deutche Allger-
maine Zeitung.
A Westphalian paper reports that ne
gotiations have been proceeding be-
tween Paris and Berlin the past ten
days, preparatory to the visit of the
emperor to Cherbourg or Brest, on his
return from Norway. Nothing appar-
emily is known of his plans in Berlin.
where preparations are being made for
the arrival of the entire imperial fam
lily at Wilhelmshohe next week.

The Associated Press correspondents
recent interview with DR.. Schwarzen-
stein has been reproduced in the news
papers here, with comment mostly
friendly to the United States, but the
Deutscfle TageS Zeitung takes occasion
to express diStruSt of the government,
and SAYS:
"'All depends upon the means en-
ployed for preserving friendly relations
with the United States American
friendship is not worth having if it
must be purchased by the abandon
ment of important German interests,
especially economic advantages, or. by
keeping cool when German dignity is
wounded"
