G e ra rd ’s My Four Years in Germany The photoplay that knocked ’em off their feet in New York and Chicago— To be shown as a patriotic offering at the Eugene Theatre Friday and Saturday July 26-27 AMBASSADOR GERARD SAID: (Deleted, as the typesetter of T h e Sentinel refused to set up any German.) WHAT THE KAISER SAID: New “ It is because our people should be informed that 1 have con sented that this photoplay be made.” INCE T H E SINK ING OF the Lusitania and Am erica’s declaration of war there has been no single event that has stirred the country more than the pieturiz- ation of G e r a r d ’s “ Four Y ears in Germ any.” I he courageous stand and single-handed fight of one man against the combined intrigue of a war- crazed nation; his defiance of the kaiser; the in ner workings of the Germ an diplomatic machin ery; the mountain of insults and provocation that finally culminated in Am erica’s entering the war — all the high spots of interest are stirringly de picted in this extraordinary ten-reel photoplay.

A nix year old Corvallis boy saw a small pile of wood in front of a rest deuce and he asked the lady if he could put it in the basement and earn a thrift stamp. He got the job. It was a small pile of wood, but he was a small boy, aud he could only eur- ry one stick at a time, but he stayed with it and earned his two bits.—Cor vallis Courier. Here is an incident to make some old er people think. Can't you see this little tot, his little arms and bis baby back hardly equal to the task, patiently tugging away at stick after stick of that wood to earn that two-bit thrift stamp f What did he know about the warf Very little. What did he kuow about what the war means to America? Very little. What did he know about all these things that puzzle many of the grown upsf Almost nothing. Yet he tugged away at that wood, each stick growing heavier for his tired little arms, until he had earned that thrift stamp. % Possibly while he was working so nobly for a cause of which he knew so little, some great big hulk of a boy who had come to years of understand ing whirled by on a joy ride. Had something of the sort happened the little fellow probably would have thought nothing of it, for he was not old enough to think much about what others should be doing. He was intent on performing his own little task. Hut the big boy should have had his con scienee touched. Perhaps while the little tad was tug ging away at that wood and thinking that the pile wTas a much bigger one than it looked like when he asked f«»r the job, some )*- or 2o-year old maidens, intent only on their own selfish plea *ures, passed him by with a pleasant smile aud a pat uu the head. Had the little fellow been of the same age as they he probably would have asked them what T H E Y were doing for the soldier boys, but his youth spared him that thought, although it is to be hoped that the girls did not get o ff so easily. This little iucident touches us deeply. This little fellow of such tender \«*nr* has set an example that should shnme sorne of us when we think we do not have the time to do some of tin* tilings we are asked to do, or who tl/ink we are asked to do too much.
