MEXICO CITY, June 24.-Seven- ty-two years of strife, beset with revolution, rebellion, sudden death and suffering, was the history of Mexico's religious troubles as repre- sentatives of the Roman Catholic church and the Mexican govern ment entered peace negotiations here, where an agreement has been reached.
 The ecclesiastical principals in the most promising move for amity in the years of disSension were old actors in the drama. Mgr. Leopoldo Ruiz y Flores, archbishop of Mi choacan and president of the Mexi- can Catholic council, was one cf two prelates to set foot within the official home of MeXico's chief ex- ecutives since 1857.
 The other was Bishop Diaz of Tobasco, associated with Archbish- op Ruiz in the latest move. That was in 1926 when they called upon President Gales at the time when the smoldering controversy had famed in it's most serious out break
 The principal objective of the church then, as now, was the re- sumption of general religious wor- ship.
 The Juarez constitution of 1857 was the fundamental starting point of the dissension which flared and quieted in various stages of viru- lency down through the years to the present time.
 However, it was only since 1926 that general religious services as such have not been held
 The constitution of 1857 prohib- ited the ancient practice of gov ernment confiscating property with out the consent of the owner, but at the same time, declared mo re- ligious corporations .. shall have legal capacity to acquire title to or administer real property, other than the buildings immediately and directly destined to the services of the church" The same constitu- tion abolished religious orders.
 In 1874 drastic laws to enforce the provisions were codified but under the iron hand of Diaz, who ruled until 1910, religious worship, education and administration, al- most entirely in the hands of the Roman Catholic Church, went on as usual with little attention to the iconstitutional limitations.
 The constitution of 1917, follow ing the mad years of the Diaz re- gime. when governments were over thrown with bewildering rapidity and the outcome usually depended on the thud of bullets, rubbed an irritant into the wound.
 Under the new constitution, the law recognized mo juridicial per sonality in the religious institutions known as churches" That meant churches had no proper rights whatever. Church schools also were abolished
 In 1920 under President Obregon came another truce between church and state and the constitutional limitations were not enforced. Tn 1924, President Obregon invited the pope to send representative tc hold a conference similar to the present one. But the apostolic

Graf wrote:
Back of the desk sat very tall figure, with
a large head, with long unbrushed hair and
beard and with striking cheek bones and wise
and kindly eyes. On the desk during our con-

let his feet shod in moccasin-like thoes that
protruded far beyond his trousers, dangle to

qualification at my visit and ambition and
wished me success in my studies
Graf Zeppelin was very proud of this oppor-

sincerely the privileges granted him.
Before I was granted an audience, the

company going to visit over Sunday their rela-

rather extraordinary kind of excursion. had
found much jollity in Washington and little
of the depression usually brought about by war;
which may be explained by the fact that the
Army was not drafted Army, but was composed
of mercenaries.
THE dancing and happiness on board the
steamer was interrupted only for a short time
when we met a ship covered with crepe bringing
home the fallen from the battlefield. The boat
ride ended at Aqui Creek from where a narrow<
gauge railway took us to headquarters. The
carriages were open lorries on which we sat
with our legs dangling over"
Headquarters was a gigantic camp OF tents
placed in long rows in the woods. Zeppelin
could not present his letters that day as Gen.
Hooker, the commander was spending the day
in Washington.
THE next day." writes the Graf when Gen.
Hooker returned from his excursion to Wash%
ington, presented myself with my pass for the
Army. He received me graciously and allotted
me TENT ali 10 mySeu. HIS friendly regard for
me showed itself from then on for at every
opportunity he offered me a drink of whisky.

than the head of an army who takes his;
responsibility seriously, though be BELONGED

His own popularity was established thought

He explained to his German readers that only

gathering were hailed as they passed the tents

The canteen tent was another popular rene
devious. Here, leaning against a beer barrel.
the Graf met an old home town boy now a.

But, though he met several old friends In
the army, his interest was more with the
American officers. Among others he met Gen.
Pleasanton, Gen. Schurz and Lieut.. Gen. Butt
terrified He strays from the subject of military
maneuvers occasionally to gossip little abOut
each of them:
Later Graf Zeppelin offered his services as q
scout, deciding evidently that his neutrality
did not exclude scouting.
There Is but little more in the American
odyssey of Graf Zeppelin. He noted his APP
probation of all he learned in the Union Army
and was certain that his military data would
satisfy even his skeptical parent.
