 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 papers friendly to the conference generally Is one of disappointment that so little has been accomplished, while those opposing indulge in gleeful felicitatons 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 toisome way in which progress of international 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 expectation were in the right"
 The most important result the Post holds up is that method is now open to na- tions for settling differences, saying: While the conference has not ushered in the millennium, still 1t shows that the pow CTS are earnestly striving to preserve for the people the blessings of peace.'
 Calls It a Funeral Oration
 The National Liberal Borsen Zeitung calls the final protocol a funeral oration, and says the results equal zero.
 The Kruz zeitung, referring to the United States and England, says:
 'The nations that boasted loudest of their humanity made the stoutest resistance to really practical humanitarian propositions"
 The Kruz zeitung further points out that while England and the United States stood together in opposing the prohibition of bombs filled with asphyxiating gases, the United States backs up England's proposal to abandon the dum-dum bullet "The plantonic direction of the conference for the principles of the czar's proclamation,' the Kruz Zeitung continues, Introduces absolutely no change in existing condi- tions."
 A West Phaian paper reports that nego- tiations have been proceeding between Paris and Berlin the last ten days prepara- tory to the visit of the Emperor of Cher bourg on his return from Norway Nothing apparently is known of such plans In Ber- lin, where preparations are being made for the arrival of the entire imperial family

 War Minister May Resign
 It is rumored that the Prussian war min- ister. General von Gossler, will resign soon and that he will be succeeded by Baron von Gemmingen, now commanding di- vision at Erfurt
 The Associated Press corresondent's re- cent interview with Dr. Schwarzstein has been reproduced in the newspapers here with comment mostly friendly to the United States. but the Deutsche Tages 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 If 1t must be purchased by tine abandonment of important German in- terests, especially economic advantages or by keeping cool when German dignity is wounded"
 The Solingen Chamber of Commerce 70 ports that exports from that district to tho UnWed states nave 1allen OH 4U per ceRN. as the result of the Dingley tariff The Dresden Chamber of Commerce complains loudly of the increase of American con- petition, especially in manufactured arti- cles, and explains that American superb ority in the worlds markets Is due to the extraordinary activity of United States consuls and the immense capital of Ameri- can manufacturing companies, permitting the greatest possible division of labor and specialization, enabling them to produce cheaper in spite of higher wages. The re- port admits that Americans sell at low, even eut-throat prices, but explains this by the assertion that high duties enablc manufacturers to sell for nigh prices at home while they dispose of their surplus abroad at the lowest prices. The rate of the falling off in exports to the United States leads to the view that exportation will cease entirely and that it will become necessary for German manufacturers to build branches in the United States.
