Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright

BERLIN, July _ 25. (Received July 27, at 8.50 a.m.) A serious crisis is threatened in eonsequence of Bavaria’s repudiation of the law for the protection of .the Republic which was formulated and endorsed by the Reichstag after the murder of Herr Rathenau. The ground of the repudiation is that it infringes Bavaria’s sovereign rights. Bavaria lias now substituted the draft of a Bill arrogating to itself the _ right to create and control the special, police force- and to take independent emergency measures. The Central Government replied that Bavaria’s attitude was legally untenable. The situation is grave, and .Ministers have been recalled to Berlin. Their resignations are already'being .canvassed. _ ‘ Yorwaerts ’ publishes the opinions of prominent Bavarians, in which it is stated frankly that Bavarians are pieparing for the. establishment of their own kingdom. /The ‘Daily Mail’s’ Bavarian correspondent reports that the situation is such that foreigners and Germans other- than Bavarians are leaving Bavaria fearing coervice measures. •The trains are crowded.— ‘ Times.’
