...Paul yielded with extreme reluctance. It hurt him to drop von Papen, his favorite, even on the advice of von Schleicher whom he trusts. In a blazingly frank press communique, Old Paul announced that he was acting "with a heavy heart. . . . I have repressed my own personal inclination to reappoint Colonel von Papen and I have commissioned Defense Minister General von Schleicher to form a new Cabinet...
...Confidence!" Mention the new Chancellor to any Hohenzollern and the Hohenzollern's face will light up. General von Schleicher and ex-Crown Prince Wilhelm call each other familiarly "thou."

Next most objectionable to Colonel von Papen in Germany is his former Minister of Interior, Baron von Gayl who is everywhere suspected of having urged the "Cabinet of Monocles" to scrap the Republican Constitution and restore Hohenzollern rule. Last week Chancellor von Schleicher avoided re-appointing Baron von Gayl, did reappoint in his Cabinet most other members of the "Cabinet of Monocles." The new slate...
