they might expect at the hands of
their adversaries The Jewish lead
er, Don Vidal, who delivered the re-
spouse in elegant Latin, pointed this
out to the Pope, and begged him to
release them from further contro-
vcrsy, which request, Of course, was
refused. The Jewish disputants and
the entire community of Tortosa
thereupon assembled in their syna-
gogue to implore Gods help in their
hour of need, and thus fortified, con-
tinued the debate
At length Benedict began to
realize that Allorqui's efforts were
futile, that the Jews were as far from
being convinced as ever. He there
fore changed his tactics, and at his
command Allorqui now came for
ward with severe accusations against
the Talmud as a work containing all
kinds of denominations, blasphemy,
heresy and immortality. At the same
time the fanatical proselytizing
monk, Vincent Ferrer, invaded Gaia
lonia and Aragon with his savage
band of hagellants, and was again
spreading terror among the Jewish
communities. Panic-striken, many
of the smaller Jewish communities
in a body, and large number of in
dividuals in the larger communities,
went over to Christianity. These
multitudes of new converts were
brought to Tortosa, and by the or
der of the pope conducted into the
hall where the debate was in prog
rcss, and there hidden to make pub
lie profession of their new faith.
This, it was thought, would be an
additional stimulus to the ewlsh
disputants to yield. But all was in
vain.
Benedict found himself utterly dis
comfted. The disputation was
brought to close, and Benedict de-
termined to use other weapons upon

and thereby regain his lost prestige
and position in Christendom. And
so in 14l2, with the authority OF
the king, Don Ferdinand, he sum
nloned the most learned rabbits Of
the kingdom Of Aragon to a debate
with Joshua Lorqui at Tortosa. The
apostate undertook to prove to the
Jews out of the Talmud and other
rabbinic sources that Jesus was the
Messiah. He prepared the list of the
prominent Jews to be summoned,
about twenty-five in number, at
whose head was Don Vidal Ibn-Labi
of Saragossa, scholar, physician
and poet, and a member of an old
and noble family These men fully
realized the danger to which their
brethren and their religion were
thus subjected. They knew that
even victory would in reality mean
a defeat for them. They entered
upon the task with fear and trepida
ton, knowing what their fate would
be if one ill-timed or ill-measured
word were spoken.
The apcstate Lorqui presented a
thesis in which the Messianic char
actcr and the divinity Of Jesus were
proved by citations from Jewish
sacred writings. 1t was simply
collection of all the stupidities, soph-
istries and speclous arguments that
convcrsionists had used from the
very beginning. This thesis was to
be publicly refuted by the Jewish
scholars.
The debate continued for over a
year and nine months, during which
time sixty-eight meetings were held.
Most of the meetings were presided
over by Benedict himself. He made
it his business at first to quiet the
fears of the Jewish disputants, to
give them every assurance Of fair
treatment, and the fullest freedom of
speech. But the very scene that
presented itself to them as they en-
tered the spacious hall struck terror
into their faint hearts. There sat
Pope Benedict on an elevated
throne, clad in his state robes, sur
rounded by cardinals and princes Of
the church, resplendent in jewcled
a thousand auditors from the high
est ranks Of the nation. The text
chosen by Allorqui for his opening
address, namely, the verse from
Isaiah, IF We be willing and obcdi-
ent, we shall eat the good Of the
land but if we refuse and rebel, We
shall be devoured by the sWord,'

peninsula during the dark period
that eliminated in their expulsion
we're the apostates, who, in order to
escape the lot of their prosecuted
brethren, and to gain position and
honor, not only bartered away the
faith Of their fathers, but became
it's most jealous adversaries and as
sailants. They were the instigators
of some of the most cruel measures
devised to annoy, harrass and en-
bitter the lives Of their former CO.
religionists. They wrote pamphlets
and tracts in which they ridiculed
and maligned Judaism, slandered
the Jews, and used texts from
Jewish writings, Biblical and rab-
binic, to convince the Jews of the
truth and superiority of the Chris
tan faith.
Seeing that such measures and
such writings did not produce the
desired effect, some of them con-
ceived the wicked design of challeng-
ing the leaders Of the Jewish COM
munities to public debates on the
truths and the merits of the two re-
ligions, knowing the disadvantages
under which the Jews would have to
meet them and hoping thus to
achieve an easy victory, and to force
them and their followers to embrace
the faith of the victors. Already in
the middle of the thirteenth century,
Pablo Christian employed this
method Of converting his former CO.
religionists by engaging the learned
and noble Moses Nachmani in a
public disputation at Barcelona. In
1875 another apostate, John of Val
ladolid, and soon after, his disciple
Alfonso Burgensis, engaged in pub
lie debates at Burgos, Avila and
Pampeluna. But the most malevolent
and malicious of them all was Joshua
Lorqui, a physician, who after his
conversion assumed the name of
Geronimo de Santa Fe. He became
a willing instrument in the hands of
the schismatic pope, Benedict XIII,
whose one great ambition was to
bring about the wholesale CONVEX
sion of the Jews.
This pope, who had been deposed
by the Council of Pisa, but was still
regarded on the Pyrenean peninsula
as the legitimate head of the church,
believed that if he succeeded in con-
verting the entire body Of the Jews
of Spain, he would achieve triumph
for the church which even his enc
mics would have to acknowledge,

Senator'S Advice to Peace-Seekers.

Frederick Pabst, of Wisconsin, and eight OF
his reighbors, recently telegraphed to Senator
Husting in Washington urging him to use his
influence toward the preservation of peace be-
tween the United States and Germany. Senator
Husting replied:
Answering your telegram will say that no one
is more deslrous OF keeping this country out OF
war than am, but best be avoided by
wrong yielding to right and not by right Welding
to wrong. Would therefore respectfully reque 81
that you also wire the German Ambassador of
the ferve1t desire of all Americans that their
country remain at peace, and that peace can best
be preserved by the strict observance on the part
OF the imperial government of the provisions OF
international law governing naval warfare Would
further suggest that you wire the Ambassador
that all Americans, regardless Of their ancestry
sympathies, stand solidly back of their gov
ernment in this crisis
Senator Hastings advice TO these citizens OF
his State is practical and appropriate Their
appeal should have been addressed not to any
one connected with the government of the
United States, but to the representatives of the
imperial government The government of the
United States, after year of friendly but in
efectual protest, has now demanded that viola.
tlons OF international law and crimes against its
own citizens and against humanity be stopped
To appeal to own statesmen to exert their
influence toward peace is to appeal to them to
advocate the ignoble abandonment of our rights
as a nation and to repudiate the action of the
President in seeking to uphold them. Our gov
ernment already has put forth its utmost effort
toward preserving an honorable peace The
vital issue now rests with the German govern.
ment The advice of Senator Husting applies to
every in this country who feels moved to
appeal to the powers of government to preserve
the peace, Germans German-Americans, Ameri,
can Germans, Americans of the type of Mr.
Bryan They should appeal to the German gov.
ernment to preserve the peace by obeyng the

Prepared for Withdrawal.

Extreme reluctance to withdraw the troops
from Mexico is obvious in the course of the sd-
minstration; and yet the soldiers must be called
back before very long, unless Csrranza, upon
reconsideration, finds that he is able after all
to control his forces and keep them from offer
ing battle to the Americans For the United
States army is not prepared for war with Mexico,
and if Carranza insists upon one pretext or
another, that our troops be withdrawn, they
will have to be brought back much larger
force will have to be sent in, equipped for
months of fighting.
While it is certain that were the army pre-
pared, the sentiment of the American people
would be strongly in favor of bidding defiance
to Csrranza and ridding Mexico of its murderers
and brigands, leaders and followers alike, the
present feeling is that, under present conditions,
Gen. Pershings punitive expedition should on no
account be exposed to peril that was not taken
into consideration when its task was begun.
1t is practically admitted that, so far as the
pursuit of Villa is concerned, the expedition is at
standstill, and far as the public may judge
there is little prospect that in the near future it
will be able to resume operations with any great
hope of success However, Villa and his fol-
lowers have at least been taught respect for the
American fighting man, and while to withdraw
without making a thorough job of it may be
for leaving an army unprepared to cope with hos
tlity on the part of the de facto government
are presented. Amid the general confusion of
ideas and reports contradictory statements are
made as to the views entertained by Scott, Fun
ston and Pershing, but even these chiefs of the
nations fighting forces who, it is reasonable to
assume would be the last to recommend with
drawal, are not represented as enthusiastically
advocating a continuation of the campaign.
The fact that the troops were not ordered out
of Mexico many days ago may be interpreted
as evidence of the administrations reluctance to
withdraw them at the behest of Carranza, even
though the pursuit Of Villa had lost its hopeful
aspect 1t may be inferred also that negotia
tions with the de facto government are still in
progress in the hope of securing a recognized
status for the expedition and a cooperation that
would justify its longer stay. These failing, with.
drawal, it would appear, must very shortly fol-
low; and unless the leopard has changed his
spots, we have little to expect of Carranza.
Not improbaby, the administrators hesitat-
ing attitude is in part due to apprehension that
public sentiment would condemn withdrawal of
the punitive expedition; but it may we'll be be-
lieved that American pride has yielded to con-
Germ for the safety of army not equipped to
meet an unforeseen obstacle.

assist in maintaining the involability of buffer

of any kind Furthermore, we shall accord to
Germans equal rights with Americans in all
American protectorates. and we shall refuse to
furnish any kind of aid to any power which does

"lf you adopt some such policy as that Mr..
President you will have turned this crisis to
the service of mankind You will have done
more than any else has ever done to put
sanction behind the law of nations. You will
have transformed what may be meaningless rup-
ture into significant event You viii have a
thousand times better chance of stopping specific
submarine outrages, and at the same time you
Will have done very great deal towards organiz-
ing the world against the lawbreaker.
The worst that can happen to this plan, Mr..
President is that it fail. But you will have
set mankind thinking, and you will be in a posi-
ton to use the older and cruder methods of
plunging into war without definition of purpose
or sight of the goal But what if it is a sue
cess! You will have established the precedent
that an injury to is an injury to ALL you
will have put the power of the United States
behind nations like Belgium which are the wards
OF mankind, and can exist only in a world where
international law is respected You will have
pledged this country to the principle that only in
"a world where Belgium is safe can the United
States be safe, You may lead Germany back

that there is a greater law than the law of her

The Presidents Opportunity.

Appealing to President Wilson to seek def
mite outcome for the good of humanity in the
nations controversy with Germany the New Re-
public says:
1--WE have learned from this war that one at
tack on law is followed by another, and that il
lawbreaking is permitted at one point the an.
archy infeets every one. Therefore, we must say
that from now the United States is not neu
trail 1t intends to use its moral power, its
economic resources, and in some cases its mltar,
forces against the aggressor.
How does it define the aggressor? The ag
gressor is the nation that will not submit its
quarrel to international inquiry that will not sus
pend action until the world has had a chance
to pass judgment upon it, or that pursues its
quarrel safter the world has decided against it
With such a nation the United States will have
intercourse, against it will be employed the
resources of America.
How can this principle be applied in the
present crisis? By announcing to Germany tha,
We shall not only break off negotiations but aid
her enemies until she agrees to abandon subma.
rine warfare against commerce, until she agrees
to evacuate Belgium, France and Serbia, to in.
demnify Belgium, and to accept the principle
that in the future all nations shall use their re.
sources against the power which refuses to sub.
nit its quarrel to international inquiry. II Ger.
many accepts this program, we shall agree to
intercourse, and not to furnish special aid
to her enemies; we shall agree to become one oil

No Bear-Pits in School Buildings.

The Of public-school buildings bv the
Labor Forum has become abuse and it is
necessary for the board of education to consider
the remedy. A practice which it was hoped
would be productive of good ought not to be al
lowed through lack of management, to become
a source of evil.
First of all, premises devoted primarily to
education should be safeguarded against vio-
lence Of speech and disturbance. The very end
sought by those who have advocated the opening
of school buildings to the public is defeated #
they are to become forums for apostles of
anarchy. To stage riots therein is equally indie
cent and intolerable.
1t should not be a difficult matter for the
authorities to settle this question in the interest of
the pepole who appreciate the value of such
places of assemblage. To do so, the pleas of a
few noisy agitators will have to be ignored.
