The need of increasing production is aa great as ever. Yon are only asked to do for the sake of humanity what a year ago you undertook for the sake of your country. Now that there is no big war news for the front page of the newspaper, extraordinary stor ies of close shaves and marvel ous escapes at the-sfront are finding place Uwrre. But if any of them caxnfcount a story of iL-rxLoou'fiarrow escape from death than that of Lieutenant Griffin, told in this paper, The Advance has not heard it. A friend was congratulating us this morning on our calm in the face of the calamity of a broken press. We have been able to preserve an unruffled countenance all right, hut last night's breakdown played havoc with the prospect of fill ing this column with a real Christmas editorial. We'll try to tell you how much we like you and how much we appre ciate your support when we get going again. ONLY SIX MINUTES TO NOTIFY BRITIAN London, Nov. 20. (Correspondence of The Associated Press t !t je qulred only six minutes to Inform the British Empire that England was at war on the night of August 4, 1914, says Lord Harcourt, who was then Colonial Secretary. "On that unforgettable night," he said to the Empire Parliamentary Association, "I was in the Cabinet Room, Downing Street, with a few colleagues. Our eyes were on the clock, our thoughts on one subject only; but there was a feeble effort to direct out conversation to other matters. We were waiting for a re ply, which we knew full well would never come, to our ultimatum to Berlin. "When Big Ben struck 11.30 mldnlht in Berlin we left the room knowing that the British Empire was at war. "I crossed to the Colonial Office to send a war telegram to the whole of the British Empire. I asked the official In charge of that duty how long It would take. He said 'about six minutes.' "I asked him to return to my room when he had done his work. In seven minutes he was back and before morning I received an acknowledg ment of my telegram from every Blngle Colonial Protectorate, and even islet In the Pacific. "So the grim machinery of war began revolving In perfect order and with perfect preparation because, more than twlj years previously, an individual war-book had been pre pared by the Colonial Committee of Defense for every single Protector ate and Island. It was at that mo ment locked In the safe of each Gov ernor or Commissioner and they knew at once what to do."

My head ached like it would split, I became so nervous I could hardly sleep, and In the morn ing I would feel so weak and fagged out that It was all I could do to get up and dress." "1 had taken all sorts of medicines and treatments without getting any. benefits, but when several of my friends praised Tanlac to me so high ly I decided to try It. .Well, tt proved to be just what I needed, for I began to feel better right off.
