SIX EDITORIAL EVENING STATE JOURNAL, LINCOLN, FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1913. EDITORIAL LAST TRAIN FROM BERLIN: X. Per Fuehrer 's seedy Valhalla By Htmrnri K. Smith. (last ARWrteu Bewa wmw4irt to leave Uarmaa? tn Ma.) Do you know Berlin? If you do, maybe you'd like to know what lhat grand old city look like now that it has become the capital of all Europe, Valhalla 1,1 1 on earth, with a Dr.

Goeb- the main street, Is empty. I went In there once in" November to buy some flowers for a friend's birthday and when -I saw how it was I told the sales-i girl, my God, et tu? She said yes, she was sorry, but Udet had just been killed and every time there Is a state funeral they clean out not only the shop but also the hothouses. A little Ister I went back, but It was still empty and the salesgirl was sorry but Moelders had Just been killed. I suppose If I had gone back later, she would have said sorry, but von Reichenau, then sorry, but Todt, and so on. Luck never changes, it continues being good.

Turning off Unter den Linden to the left down the government Wllhelmstrasse, you can see-the only freshly painted building in Berlin: Ribbentrop's ugly yellow palace, with ugly yellow snakes wrapped symbolically around spheres, that look dictators made the mistake of affording a very visible measure of what the public think of their propaganda films by opening a second-rate comedy called the Man" at the Gloria-Palast on Kurfuer stendamm," while fifty yards away at the TJf a-Palast an extra, super-colossal one hundred and fifty per cent war film, "Bomber Wing L.uet-zov," was playing. THE MEDIOCRE COMEDY PLAYED TO PACKED HOUSES AT EVERY PRESENTA TION, WHILE THE WAR FILM SHOWED TO A HALF-EMPTY THEATER. Unfortunately, even mediocre comedies have become rarities as war. and propaganda films increase in number. (Copyright.

There is lots of scaffolding along Unter den Linden, hiding the fronts of buildings nobody is any longer working on.

All the embassies on that big street, the Russian, the Amerl-cain and the French, are empty now snd closed up. When the nazis closed the Russian embassy they put a big white streamer 50 yards long across the face of the building with black skulls and cross-bones on either end of the streamer, snd in the middle the words: "Beware! This Building Is Being Fumigated!" People snickered. The nazis removed the hammer and sickle on the door, but forgot the one on the top of the building in the center, and it is still there. Even the big florist's shop, Blumen-Schmldt, on and all kinds of stage soothsay-ers used to be popular with i German audiences, but when Hess flew to Scotland, Goebbels banned them all for ever from German showhouses because it was said that one of these affected Hess' decision to go. Another big favorite were funnymen who specialized in shady political jokes, ut these too were forbidden by Goebbels after a while.

Favorite music was American jazz and blues songs, but the dictator of German KULTUR unofficially informed producers this well also was poisoned. JUST ABOUT ALL THAT IS LEFT IS ACROBATICS AND JUGGLING, WHICH BECOME TIRESOME; BUT THEY TAKE PEOPLE'S MINDS OFF WAR, AND THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE PAY FOR. Cinemas are not as popular, principally for the reason that they do not take people's minds off war. Once the Nazi film ing up gaps in the upholstery She couldn't get any thread, but string from wrapping packages will do until the war is over. Not the string from German packages which Is made of paper and snaps when you draw it hard with a needle, but string from packages from Switzerland which you can get sometimes.

The Cafe Unter den Linden had a fine big awning which could be stretched out like a marquee over, tablet on- the sidewalk, in summer time, but the hinges on it got rusty and nobody could be fouhd to fix them, and so rain water was caught in the holes of the awning and ate holes in it. Cafe Schoen across the street has no troubles about maintaining front. A couple of British fire bombs solved that many months ago. The firebombs destroyed the upper floors of the building and scaffolding was set up all around it to repair it, but the Russian war by law everywhere for the duration of the Russian war. Nevertheless, a few joints maintain "hostesses" who sit and drink with Tired Party Men.

The hostesses aye a bit on the seedy side. For one thing, gowns are being worn shorter this season; it is i 1 1 to buy new gowns and so the girls simply had to chop off the worn edges of their old ones and put in new hems, higher up. Theaters aifd show-houses out in the West End are packed overfull every night People haven't anything else to spend their money on, so even' the worst show in town is a sell-out every night. The big variety houses, the Scala ajnd the Win-tergarten, are having a hard time finding enough talent to fill their bills, as narrowed by a whole sheaf of Nazi decrees since the beginning of the war.

After 6 o'clock, you can't walk on the side of the street where the fuehrer's house is located. A cordon of policemen make you cross the street, for they are afraid of bombs, even when the fuehrer is not at home.
