: GERMANY's PEACE PLANS

Amsterdam, Dec. 1S.-The Frank

Peace proposals, says:
Germany must try to prevent the
entente from giving an evasive an
swcr. We expect a wide cleavage of
views at the outset of the negptla-
tions, but great apparent divegcn-
cies of opinion will have less signi-
ficance when the oral explanations
are offered The standpoints of both
parties are already partly identical
as regards the general Fundamental
aims of the war, and the German
note must be understood as meaning
that part of the German proposals
refer to the rc-cstablishment of inter
national conventions for the avoidance
Of international conflicts and guar
antce international peace.
Referring to the possibility of al
leviating the burden of ornaments
the Zcitung expresses the belief thai
all agreement to this effect is possible
owing to the sufferings caused by
wax, and adds: But Germany must
not be asked to precee the others il
reducing her forces. Moreover, Ger
many does not believe in abrogating
general military service, although
there are many objections against
such. 1t would be abrogatcd if there
were a common organization Of ma
tons, in which Germany would have
an important place. "
Discussing the naval question, tn;
paper explains that Germans fleet
has been built only for defensive pur,
poses, and continues:

restricted in the future other nava!
