 PEACE PROPOSAL

Amsterdam, Dec. - During yes terday's sitting of the reichstag main committee Dr. Won Kuehlmann made a speech i'm which he said:
 "Our eyes at the present moment are turned toward the east. Russia has set the world ablaze. The gang of bureaucrats and sycophants, rot ten to the core, everything the weak and misguided though probably well meaning autocrat, surreptitiously brought about the mobilization of that country, which was the actual and immediate cause of the gigantic catastrophe that befell the world.
 "Now, however, Russia has swept aside the culprits, and she is laboring to find through an arnistice and peace an opportunity for her internal reconstruction. I need not supple ment the clear words in which the tude of the German government toward these aims. Here again our policy will adhere to the principle of firm but moderate statesmanship based on facts. The principles hith. erto announced to the world by the present rulers in Petrograd appear to be entirely acceptable as a basis for reorganization of affairs in the east-a reorganization which, while fully taking into account the right of nations to determine their own desti- nies, is calculated permanently to safeguard the essential interests of the two great nniphhOrinc nations Germany and Russia.
 ''I am profoundly satisred that we shall be able to pursue this course in full agreement with our allies and, l take it, also with the almost unani- nous moral support of the represen. tatives of the German people here assembled-a fact that will give our action necessary weight

will hold it's first meeting next Mon day to fill vacancies created, by the expansion for war of the naval es- tablishment.
 At the same time no lieutenants and PAT junior lieutenants will be advanced a grade under the seniority system for the duration of the war, and the grade of ensign will be read justed to accommodate the AZ war rant and f9serve officers holding tenn porary war commissions in that grade.
 The Selection Board is composed by law of nine rear -admirals. The names of the officers composing it this year have been withheld to protect them from the importunities of friends Of officers eligible for advancement
 Numerous promotions must be made soon also in the personnel of the staff corps of the navy. There has been no announcement as yet of whether the seniority or selection rule is to apply to these, the selection law dealing only with line commissions in the higher grades.
