PREMIER ASSUMES REINS. ZAIMIS BECOMES VIRTUALLY A DICTATOR. Greece Now on Very Brink of De? parture From Policy of Neutrality. ???? Athens, Sunday, Sept. 3 (via Lon don, Sept. 4.)?Premier Zaimis, seiz? ing the opportunity offered by tho presence at Piraeus, within gunshot of Athens, of a large entente fleet, has assumed unobtrusively what amounts virtually to dictatorial powers. All is now in readiness for the flr.al act to end the neutrality of Greece. While the people of Athens were being mildly amused at the spectacle of allied sailors and secret police pur? suing German agents about streets, a profound chanrro in the status of af? fairs was effected <.\Metly. Premier Zaimis is now in a position to swing the whole country as he v. ill, unem? barrassed by any dissenting popular opinion or hostile parliamentary con? trol. The first step which placed full powers in the hands of the premier was taken when he forbade public gatherings last Wednesday. The ar? rangement of Friday whereby the Is? suance of the decree disssolving the now adjourned parliament and calling new elections was postponed indefin? itely disposed effectually of any par? liamentary interference with the gov? ernments policy. Finally, the premier yesterday requested and received the Unqualified support of the leaders of the Ven.zelos party and of the party opposed \o Venizelos, thus giving the present temporary cabinet a political? ly represenvative character and com? pleting the necessary preparations Which may be accided on by the min? istry behind closed doors. Greece may now find herself at var overnight at the bidding of a single individual, who is neither King Constantlne nor For? mer Premier Venizelos. The solution of the political mud . die which has kept GreW^ in a con? dition of wavering neutranty for two years was effected quietly, and the public was not aware of the extent to yrhich the constitution of Greece was set aside or the manner in which pow? er was concentrated in the hands ol ? the premier.

Zaimis of a pew ministry in which all parties .will be represented, is a-question of ' *nfr *Jew flay* i?i Meanwhile/the allies are' rapidly ridding Athens and Piraeus of Aus? trian and German agents.* GET DOWN TO BUSINESS.
