Kaiser Suffers Relapse,
Report in Rome States

ROME, Dec. Silt IL rumored in
diplomatic circles here that the
Kaiser has suffered q relapse, and
that his condition Is now most seri-
GUS.
It Is impossible to get confirma-
tion of this report. The news Is
being withheld until Berlin makes
the announcement
1t is only ten days since it was
officially announced by the Berlin
war office that the Kaiser had COM
pletely recovered from his illness
and was on the western front. On
Christmas night he is said to have
attended a banquet with his gem
erals.
Early in the month, probably on
December 3, the Kaiser was taken
from the western front to Berlin.
Strict censorship prevented this from
becoming known until December TO-
when the London papers received
word that his illness was serious
and that he had pneumonia COM
bined with nervous depression due to
overexertion. 1t Is probable that
Berlin allowed this to become known
only because at that time the Kaiser
was far recovered, for two days later
1t was officially announced that he
was much better, that his pulse was
normal and that he had been al
lowed to sit up for several hours to
read war reports.
