Austrians Serenade
Reichstag President

BERLIN, June 20. A serenade by singers from another country in celebration of his recovery from a serious illness is a distinction which Paul Loebe, president of the reichstag, probably enjoys alone of presiding officers of the world's parliamentary bodies.

Loebe several months ago had an acute attack of appendicitis. After a prolonged cure at Bad Mergentheim he was at last able to resume his duties. He had just finished presiding over his first meeting amid a sea of flowers sent by colleagues and friends, when the halls of the reichstag building resounded with male chorus songs.

The singers were railway employees from Vienna, on a visit to the German capital.

Loebe is very popular in Austria as he heads an organization working for the political union of Germany and Austria.
