AT BAYONET POINT.

g:r,eat national decisions. LONDON, July 29. "Herr von Papon's Commissionership," says "The Times" in a leading article, "restores the pre-war single control of the Reich and the Prussian Government, and abolishes dual authority in Berlin, removing various anomalies, but it is doubtful, in view of the general dismissal of Socialist office-holders, whether the Nazis will allow the authorities to be impartial.

"Already the Nazi organ, has exelaimed, 'Great decisions in history always rest on the points of bayonets.' Herr von Papon's rule is, in fact, the rule of bayonets. He may maintain order, but tbe quiet so attained will be the Btillnesij of suppression and not the peace of a united people."
