His ■ dramatic return is a possibility,' 1 says the wiuich correspondent of "The Times." !'lt is feared that "the disordersi'bf 'the past few days are merely a prelude to more serious conflicts. There are daylong demonstrations against Yon Kahr, whosd resignation is expected. "The general impression is that he and Yon Lossow encouraged and even helped Friday's events. The troops and police find difficulty in maintaining orderi Theatres, cinemas^ and restaurants are compelled to close at 8 o'clock, and after that no one * is allowed in the streets without a permit. The public are forbidden to enter mariy public squares, which are guarded by barbed wire and machine guns. Crowds refusing to disperse at 8 o'clock were charged by soldiers with fixed bayonets. Five were carried off in stretchers, and there were at least eight other casualties. The Reichswehr and police are concentrating at the main station in expectation of the advance 6f the Hitler forces."
