1€ CANTON BUYS OFF INVADING ARMIES Pillaging Saved by Accession to Stiff Demands of Kwangsites. By the Associated Press. CANTON, China, May 13.—Canton and the surrounding province of Kwang- tung have purchased peace from invad- ing Kwangsites, but at a heavy price. With three large armies approaching the southern Chinese metropolis from each of its three landward sides cap- ture seemed imminent, and, with looting | rapine as an alternative, the Kwangsi| chieftains were able to dictate their terms. These terms were, it was understood. monthly payments of $570,000 Mexican | ($285,000) for an indefinite period to Kwangsi; furnishing of additional mili- tary supplies and a large body of troops subject to Kwangsi orders: and restora tion of the alleged Kwangsi opium trade down the Sikiang. Demand Reported Met. It was also reported that the Kwangsi demand for removal of the civil gover- | head of the Mexican hierarchy has | nor of Kwangtung and the chiefs of the Cantonese army and navy had been met. The outward manifestations of the settlement were announcement of an armistice by the Cantonese authorities, a halt in the advance of the Kwangsi armies, and restoration, to some de- gree, of normalcy in the city where the central bank reopened and other busi- ness was restored. ‘Che panic of the people was measureably lessened. However, while the political differ- ences of the two provinces seemed at an end no one was willing to predict how long the truce wouid last. BRITISH GUNBOAT FIRED ON.

TO BE ASKED ; AID AGAINST ACTRESS‘: Producer Would Force Helen Kane, | 'ARCHBISHOP; EXILED IN CITY, MAY MEET Bring About New Church- State Pact. ments From Country. Now in Capital. BY REX COLLIER. On the slight shoulders.of a little Mexican archbishop, who has been spending much of his time away in ‘Washington exile, 1s about to feel the responsibility of negotiating for re- ligious peace below the Rio Grande. Archbishop Leopoldo Ruiz, oft-ban- ished but ever-smiling prelate of the Catholic Church in Mexico, is expected soon to re-enter his native country at | the invitation of President Portes Gil after two years of exile. A series of diplomatically worded statements issued alternately by the Mexican President and the 64-year-old opened the way for capitulation be- tween church and state in the revolu- tion-torn republic to the south. ‘The first move was made by the state, when President Portes Gil an- nounced a few days ago that the Catholic Church could not be held re- sponsible, “as an institution,” for the rebellion just ending. Archbishop Ruiz at once dictated a public statement referring to the Portes Gil announcement and throwing out the suggestion that the chasm between the church and state could be bridged if representatives of both could but get together on a “good will” basis and study matters. Interview Read in Mexico. Also, he gave an interview to a Star reporter in which he elaborated on the statement. + The interview was quoted in Mexico City and apparently came to thé attention of President Portes Gil. The archbishop at that time declared that “the religious conflict in Mexico afises from no cause which cannot be corrected by men of sincere good will” and added that “the church and her ministers are prepared to co-operate with the state in every just and moral people.” P Statement Ackndwiedged; Leopoldo Ruiz of Mexico May | Is Veteran of Other Banish- | effort made for the improvement of the | The Mexican President promptly ac- | THE EVENIN WITH PORTES GIL { was in Morelia. | cided to capture the archbishop’s home | town.

Prior to his journey to the Vatican last year the archbishop is reported to have made a trip to Mexico, despite his exile, and to have conferred regarding the religious situation with former President Calles. The extent of the discussion which may have taken place | | at that time is not known. Some Bishops In Hiding. At any rate, definite overtures on the | part of the government did not develop | until the recent revolution had ended. | It is known that the activities of about | a dozen bishops who remained in Mex- |ico in defiance of the exile order were | watched closely by the government. | These bishops had been in hiding since | issuance of the edict banning them from | their country, but some of them made their whereabouts known to the gov- ernment in response to a proclamation | abrogating the ban and calling on all priests to emerge from hiding, with as- surance of personal safety. The revolution proved a ‘toon to the | church. It satisfied the government that accredited officials of the church | were loyal to the government.

The dispatches from Mexico City in this connection constituted the most leasant news that Archbishop Ruiz had read since the fateful day two years ago when he and five other bishops were marched to the Texas border under guard of a squad of Mexican soldiers. Now that the prospects for a settlement of the strife are so bright, the genial archbishop cannot restrain a chuckle in recalling those tense scenes. “Again I was an exile from my own country. You see, I had been exiled once before. It was in 1914, during the Carranza trouble, Then I did not see my native land again for five years. 3“'};:" were 15 of us banished at that Trouble With Huerta.
