BERLIN, tVia London) Dec. 2.- The Vorwaerts. the organ of the social democratic party. announces that the social democrats in the Reichstag have determined to put the following inter pcllation in a body at the next session:
 "Is the imperial chancellor ready to give information as to the conditions under which he would be willing to enter into peace negotiations?'
 Herr Scheldemann. the leader of the party. will put the question, and Herr Iansborg has been chosen to debate A more detailed and searching inquiry as to the governments attitude re- specting peace was defeated by the social democrats by a vote of 5S to 45.
 The NorWaerts in commenting on the subject says:
 What we demand is 2 definite eX- pression on the social demands, peace demands and q clear answer from the government"
 The Berliner Tageblatt is the first newspaper to come out in approval of the plan of the social democrats to ask Chancellor von Bethmann- -Hollweg un- der what conditions he is prepared to begin peace negotiations.
 For our part" says the newspaper, we cannot sec why such d question should not be directed to the chancel- !or nor why he should not answer it. It is believed that an answer would be regarded abroad as a sign of weak ness. The military position of Ger many and it's allies is so strong that il should not bother us what the en- tcnte newspapers might write.
 The British place no such restric- tions on themselves and care little what constructions are placed on this or that.
 The second question is whether Jeace negotiations would have any prospect of success. Each peace de- sired, not alone in the present case may be dashed on one of the two rccks-on disinclination in the enemies camp and on demands in our own. Perhaps we should come a step for ward ii the Chancellor were to decide to throw little light on the second point
 In any case. even though one may be very skeptical about the success of a peace movement at the present mo- ment, the German people should not he lenied the right. in view of the un- usually favorable military situation to question the responsible leader on the imperial policy regarding his in- tenticns and the goal.
 Tt should be reiterated that there fs not a trace of weakness in Germany Should anyone abroad be fooled enough SO to misconstrue the social democracy interpolation, the facts will prove to him how mistaken he is
