The former Kaiser as he looked two years ago.
Berlin, May 31 (UP) –
Reports from Doorn, where former Kaiser Wilhelm II lies gravely ill, said tonight that Germany’s World War I ruler appears to have passed the crisis in his illness and taken a definite turn for the better.
The Kaiser’s family was at his bedside. The Crown Prince reportedly joined other members of the family today.
Informed Nazi sources said information from Doorn this afternoon was that physicians believed “the decisive turning point for good” in the illness occurred today.
