Would Make Some Sense
UNDER THE LIFELESS LINDENS
Editor's note The writer of the paragraphs which follow Is
James E. Brinton, Bulletin staff member, now with the American
forces In Europe.
The linden trees in spring are beautiful. As the warm, long
fjflvs beein. their branches first become lacy with tiny leaves.
Then the bright green grows thicker and deeper aa the leaves
enlarge, until only specks of the pale blue sky can be seen
above. Many such springs tnese iinaens saw.
But the lindens on Wilhelmstrasse in this German city are
not green this spring. Neither are they budding and bursting
green on Hindenbiirgstras.se or Kaiserstrasse.
The lindens are dead on the streets bearing the names of
the "greatest" Germans. The heat from the burning buildings
was too great and their tiny winter buds were roasted black,
their outer bark baked to charcoal. When spring spread along
the Rhine, and spring along the Rhine is as beautiful as
spring along the Deschutes or the Willamette, tne lindens tuu
not waken. Their blackened bark peeled away leaving trunks
of bonelike white, their branches remained an ebony lattice
against the sky but there was no sign of green.
Three times the lindens had shaken to the march of Ger
man armies bent on conquering Europe or the world. Twice
they were alive when the armies returned, once in victory and
once in defeat. But the third time the lindens did not see the
broken Nazi columns fall back on their way to defeat.
Perhans it is well that the lindens died in their .winter's
sleep, for there is no need of shade on Wilhelmstrasse and the
beauty of the lindens would only be wasted among the mounds
of rubble heaped about their dead trunks.
In the years to come there will be new linden trees, and
then what happened "unter den i-inden" and wnat nappeneu
to the lindens must never be let to happen again.
i IT FAILS TO DECEIVE
There is cause for amusement, not unmixed with resent
; ment in the rigmarole that is coming but of Germany as V-E
day nears and in the routine which is being lollowed as Ger
many sets about donning its waiting suit of sheep's clothing,
There is amusement at the transparency of the expected at
tempt to achieve relative respectability; there is resentment
that those who conceived these tactics of deception should
think us so stupid as to be deceived by them.
The transition scene had its beginning with the avowals
by prisoners and by civilians in occupied areas of opposition
to nazi beliefs and nazi methods. It continued as Hermann
Goering became indisposed, as something happened to Hitler
up to date he has been slain in battle, has gone mad, is dying
of cerebral hemorrhage. Now Heinrich Himmler has faded
from the picture and finally a brand-new fuehrer appears
Admiral Karl Doenitz, who is intensively publicized us not a
nazi. He, it seems, is cast for the role of chief sheep. He is
merely a top man in the German warrior clique.
All this window dressing is silly. It will fool nobody aside
from the Germans themselves. The war is going on just the
same. Armies are surrendering, German yur criminals are
still badly wanted and at least some of the allies have no in
tention of accepting a Hitler death report until thoy have sci
entifically identified the body. Once that is done he will cease
to have any rtlbre importance than is now attached to the
late Signer Mussolini.
The nations will continue, to deal with Germany, regard
less of who may ostensibly be at the head of what passes for a
German government. It 'is they' who will make the terms
after the surrender, if there is one, or upon completion of con
quest; Any difference between these two ways of ending the
war is to be viewed as theoretical only.

As the summer passed, Mr. CuU
tor ate more, slept more, and
worked less. Any hour of the day
you might find him dozing on his
stool, his face supported by his
two white hands. If you went to
tell him that the water was low,
he would pick up his pen and nod
with a weary, harassed look as if
to say he would come when he
could evergct clear of what he
was doing. Half an hour later,
when you went again, you
couldn t find him.
He began to yet Irritaoie. One
of my favorite pasttimes was por
ing over the hotel register, espe
cially its early pages.
l liked to finger the copper
paper weight while I read. Mr.
Cutter allowed me to take both
that and the register less and less
willingly. Often after no more
than 10 minutes ho began to tap
on his desk and beckon. When I
put them back, be would straight
en them with exaggerated care
and then would return to his nap
or his circles.
I used to complain a good deal
about him. "He's crabby," I said,
vehemently. "And Papa is alwnys
Just so nice to him."
Your father Is nice to every
one,, my mot tier reproved me.
But she must have noticed, as
I did, that my father was espe
cially nice to Mr. Culler. Every
noon ho took the paper to him,
and every evening he sat wilh him
for a time in the office, though
they seldom talked.
Mama, Sue said one day.
looking pfizzled. "Is Mr. Cutter
Ada's fellow?"
"Of course not," my mother an
swered.
"She likes him anyway," Sue
argued.

This was getting more and
more apparent to us, all. She had
made him a beaded napkin ring,
and then, undaunted by his indif
ference, a sweet-grass basket for
his handkerchiefs.
"All of us like him." my mother
said, being very careful.
"1 don't," Julia put In.
"Hut Ada shows II," Sue per
sisted. "She ought not to do that,
ought she, Mama?"
"It isn't up to us to pass Judg
ment," my mother said. "Of
course, if it were one of vou
girls "
My cheeks warmed. I showed j
how I liked Benjamin. I showed
It all the time. But Benjamin
whose eyes always went wander
ing off after Ada -didn't notice, i my father said,
great time plaguing each other.
"You're slower than cold mo
lasses," Ada would taunt.
"Slow, am 1?" He would go
laster and taster, his big muscles
bulging. "A slow-poke, am I?"
His face would get red and his
breath come hard. Sometimes he
wouldn't stop until the water
came bubbling from the overflow
in the sink. Alter that he would
sit down on the stairs, blocking
her way when she started up.
' "You let me by, Mister."
"Did you say something?" he
would ask, seizing her wrists. "I
don't hear very good tonight."
But Ada had no time for him
now. Every spare minute went
in making things for Mr. Cutter
or Just sitting on the steps out
side of the office.
Benjamin began to. do his
pumping in the morning. He
didn't have a thing to say to Mr.
Cutter. If there was a message
that had to go to the, office, he
sent it by Boshy. Day after day
he would drive out alone in a
carriage, not even seeing me wait,
ing hoping on the steps.
e e
Mrs. Guptill kept her eye on
everything Mr. Cutter did, ready
to find fault. It wasn't Just that
he was lazy, she said. He was
wasteful, too. He left the office
inkwell open. At meals he reorder
ed, then neglected to clean his
plate. Moreover, he was using
too much kerosene. Every morn
ing Ada brought his lamp down,
bone dry. All of the other lamps
were more than half full. Such
extravagance! He must be burn
ing it all night, she said.
Suddenly one day she noticed
something. The lamp was bone
dry, but the dick barely needed
trimming. It didn't make sense.
Something funny was going on,
she derided:
She lit into Ada, demanding an
explanation. Ada flared right
back. Let people mind their own
business. ... 11
This had gone far enough, my
mother decided.
That night she spoke to my fa
ther about it. "Mr. Cutter Is turn
ing this place upside down," she
said, "and I think you should dis
charge him.
sorely tried. "He's no earthly
good, anyway, and It's costing us
money to Keep mm. I'm going to
insist that you send him back."
My mother seldom took a real
stand. .
There was a long, strained
silence.
My father got up and folded his
paper. "I can't send him back,"
he said quietly. "I couldn't even
if I made up my mind to it."
He went out and closed the
door.
