Game Wardens Killed
Bodies Found In Boat

Stockton, Cal, Dee. l3.-Richard j.
Squire of Lodi and Ray }. Heaeock,
deputy fish and game wardens, were
murdered, supposedly by Greek fisher
men, last night on Gouldin Island,
The body of Squire was found, rid
died with bullets, in the bottom of his
launch during the night by Walter and
Frank Tinsley, also fishermen. The
body Of Heaeoek is missing.
Squire has been deputy game ward
en- for a number of years. During late
years he has been very vigorous in en-
forcing the law against using illegal
fishing methods in the delta districts.
He had made many arrests for using
illegal nets, catching undersize fish,
etc, and had incurred the bitter en-
nifty of law violators in that district.

Press comment ranged all the way
from the Daily Mails suggestion that
Ton Bethmann- Hollweg is emo more en-
titled to the courtesy OF q reply than
to that made by the Manchester Guard
isu, that negotiations should at least go
as far as to ascertain German S exact
terms.
A number of newspapers point out
the desirability, in view of the manner
in which Germany made her offer, that
the allies in replying, clearly enunciate
their own aims in the war, for the ben
eft of the worlds opinion; that the
terms on which the allies are willing to
enter peace negotiations be clearly set
forth. Such comment holds that only in
this way can responsibility for the CON
tinuance of the war-which responsible
ity Germany obviously seeks to place
upon the allies-be turned upon the cen
tral powers.
Among numerous interviews with
public men gathered by the London
press there is only one advocating ae-
ceptance of Germany's proposition and
immediate entrance into negotiations.
That is the opinion voiced by Philip
Snowden, the empires leading pacifist
who considers that the allies will incur
awful responsibility if they decline. 1t
il at least their duty, he holds, TO see
whether the German proposals contain
the possibility of ending the war on con
ditions, reasonable, and, as far as pos
sihie, satisfactory to everybody.
There was considerable opinion that

such terms could not be attained, prob

arise,
Belgium would be restored, but at IA
terrible sacrifice. There would be no
restitution for the ravages of war, un-
less, perhaps, Germany should buy, at
an enormous rate, the Belgian Congo
as restitution measure.
Belgium IS fate in the present war, Of
ficials think, makes the idea of q world
guaranty of peace even more essential
than perhaps do the questions of pos
sible threat of Russia overrunning the
German empire.
Germany has aspirations in Asia Min
or. That is why she leaves the settle
ment of Balkan problems to the peace
conference. All her terms suggest the
need of world guaranty, said the Uni-
ted. Press informant, and he doubted
that this will be possible at this time

Whatever peace terms are sug

would like to get, not what she
expects to get, it was said.
In view of this, the confer

Scandinavian countries and
Switzerland at Copenhagen this
month, is said here to be of
great significance. Spain and
Holland may also send dele

Actual peace terms are ness

German officials said today.
Any terms which may be sug

be evolved after a long dis

Not Asking for Peace
BY Carl w. Alderman

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Berlin. Dec. l3-Germanv has not
asked neutral powers to start peace me-
gotiations. The American embassy $
understanding is that she has merely

powers are willing TO discuss peace

Reuuires Consideration.

From him came the statement that
anything purporting to be President
Wilson 5 idea now is fiction.
The president, he said has not even
confided to his cabinet what he plans,
and indeed, has not yet. But the Of
ficial view, as reflected by Wilson g
closest advisers, can be stated thus:
Cn the first point, the administration
regards the question of peace as so big
that it must be given serious consideraT
ton.
On the other hand, it feels convinced
already that the. allies win scorn the
offers. But be Germany's motive, po-
litical, altruistic or greedy, the idea of
step to end the war is too momentous
TO be cast aside without fullest official
discussion.
In these circumstances, the govern
ment may lend its influence,a secretly
perhaps-to getting such discussion.
But it will go cautiously before put.
ting itself on public record behind Ger

ly whether there can be the slightest
chance of success.
While the administration feels certain
that England will not now accept Ger
many's proposals as outlined; it at
taches great importance to the fact that
these proposals may form the "entering
wedge" for peace or peace parleys.
A state department. official pointed
out that whatever may happen, the pro
posals will give food for thought and
basis upon which to base later pro-
posals or terms of settlement.
May Start Discussion.
Inasmuch as this officially starts the
ball rolling, it is considered vital prop
osition thought destined to fail for the
moment.
Colonel House, the presidents per-
sonal adviser, is with him today, helping
him with his knowledge concerning
peace thoughts in Europe, CLEANED from
iourneyings as Wilson s private envoy
He will play large part in the determ-
ination.
Meantime others close to the presi'
dent are anxious that he take a big,
firm stand for peace, backing Ger
many's idea-not as Germany's s idea
but as means to stop a monstrous
The idea of such a part has been pre-
sented frequently to the president.
Early this forenoon the official text
of the German peace proposals had not
arrived at the state department.
On the question Of world guaranty
Of peace, officials think that Germany's
terms as revealed by German embassy
official are such that only an interna-
tional agreement could make them
{" stick'. And, at this time, they feel
it is doubtful if such q guaranty could
be effected.
Guaranty Of World Peace.
The reasons for desiring world
guaranty are these:
Germany would be well pleased to re
turn to the status she had territorially
before the war. But, in addition, she
wants way into Asia Minor. Her terms
impose a hardship upon Russia because
she wants buffer between that great

CASTILIAN SKY GROWS
DARKER.


ridding the country of Pedro, the
Cruel, ascended the throne Of CASTLE
as Henry II, he found himself the
ruler of land that was almost on
the verge of ruin. The prolonged
foreign and civil wars during the
previous reigns had left the country
bleeding from many wounds. In
dustrv and all other activities Of
peace were paralyzed, and poverty
and famine were stalking through
the land. Lawlessness prevailed
everywhere.
Naturally the condition Of the
Jews was worse than that of the
rest of the population. Many Jew
ish communities had been utterly
destroyed, or had suffered great dis
asters during the civil strife. And
now an uncertain future opened up
before them that filled their hearts
with terror and gloomy forebodings
They had been the most faithful,
the staunchest supporters and
friends of Pedro. How would the
new king, Pedro's implacable enemy
and slayer, treat them? Would he
not most cruelty revenge himself
and make them drain the bitter cup
of suffering to its very dregs:?
King Henry, indeed, had his re-
venge, but not in the manner in
which the Jews had apprehended it,
Soon after his accession, to meet his
heavy obligations to his mercenary
troops and other supporters during
his struggles, he imposed on the
Jews of Toledo the heavy tax of TO-,
600 gold doubloons. But the COM
munity was SO impoverished that
the sum could not be raised, where
upon he ordered that all their prop
erty be disposed of at public sale.
and that the Jews be imprisoned and
tortured until the required amount
was secured
That done the Jews were not fur
ther molested by him very serious
ly Nay, being, like his predeces-
sors. unable to do without them in
his financial affairs, he employed
wealthy Jews, such as Samuel Alb
ravanel, and others as his taX-cOl
lectors and financial advisors and
agents. Joseph Pichon of Seville
was appointed by him as tax-collect-
or-in-chief
To humor the clergy, however, and
upon their demand, he ordered re-

these troubles the titled and wealthy

sible; their only consideration is for
their position and money, whilst for
their God they have no regard" An

of wealthy Jews, who are admitted
to royal courts, and to whom the
KEYS of public exchequers are con-
fided pride themselves on their dig
mites and wealth., but give no
thought to the poor. They build
themselves palaces, drive about in
splendid equipages, . and deck
their wives and daughters like prn-
cesses with gold, pearls and precious
stones Still worse is the jeal
ousy with which they regard each
other; they slander one another be-
fore the king and the princess
This last remark touches one of
the sorest spots in the somewhat de-
generated life of the Jews of CASTLE
at that time There were men among
them who, actuated by jealousy,
spite, and revengefulness, were ready
to slander coreli gionists, inform on
them, or bring baseless charges
against them. Jewish courts of JUS
tice were equally ready to act on
such charges with undue haste. or
to mete out severe punishments to
the informers or other malefactors in
the community.
One such case was most calami-
tous in it's effects. Joseph Pichon
who was employed by the king as
chief tax-collector, was accused,
probably by some hostile and spite
full. coreligionists, Of having embez-
zled the kings funds. He was i'm
prisoned, but was afterward fined
10000 doubloons and set free. The
quarrel between him and his enc
mics continued and grew more bit
ter. Pichon undoubtedly retaliated
i'll kind, and upon the death of King
Henry, when the coronation of his
son and successor, Juan |, was tax
ing place. the Jewish court con-
demned Pichon to death without
giving him hearing, and by some
ruse obtained the sanction of the
king for the execution of the judge
ment. When the king learned the
facts, his anger knew no bounds. and
he decreed the death penalty on all
who were implicated in the scan
dalous affair, including the judges.

Jews IN THE IBERIAN PENINSULA

Sentat1VeS OF the two rel1g1OnS 10 De
carried on for the purpose of con-
vincing the Jews of the error of their
religious ways And as in former
times, baptized Jews with their
customary feigned and hypocritical
zeal for their new faith, and with
the ambition for preferment in the
church, were ready to undertake the
work on behalf of Christianity One
of them, John Of Valladolid, cha1-
lenged Moses Cohen de Tordesillas,
recognized Jewish scholar, to a
debate at Burgos, and again at
Avila. Another, Abner Alfonso, a
disciple of the former, entered the
lists against the same Jewish op-
ponent, who had evidently held his
ground we'll in the first joust. A
still greater responsibility fell upon
another Jewish man of learning
Shem Tobben Isaac Shaprut of Tu-
della, when Cardinal Don Pedro de
Luna, afterWard Pope Benedict
XIII. summoned him to debate at
Pampeluna. The arguments used by
him in refutation of Christianity on
that occasion he afterward published
in a book called "Even Bochan,"
The Touchstone, for use by others
when called upon.
By this time the enmity of the
clergy, the nobility and even the
commonalty, was productive of more
disastrous results for the ews than
the vindictiveness of the king. In
1871 the Cortes Of Toro demanded
the following humiliations and re-
strictions for the Jews: They should
be kept away from the palaces Of
the grandees, and live entirely sep
arated from the Christians; they
should hold no public office, should
wear no costly garments, nor ride
on mules nor take Christian names
and that they should wear the Jew
badge. The last two demands were
granted by the king, as we'll as the
request of the Cortes of Burgos in
1879 that Jews should not be al
lowed to carry or to sell arms.
1t must be added, however, that
the Jews were not altogether blame
less for the hostility the populace
was more and more manifesting to-
ward them They all suffered for
the shortcomings of the few among
them who had accumulated wealth
by usury, and by obsequiousness and
servilitv at the courts Of the mobiles.
