His somber speech Indicated he thought war in evitable. He will leave for Munich at 10:30 p. m., PS.T.. tonight. But a pencil scribbled note handed to him an hour and a half after he began explaining why It appeared war must come changed the gloomy tense house and galllertes Into i cheering frenzied mass. It was a message from Hitler In vltlng him as the premier of Prance and Italy also were Invited to the Munich conference. Chamberlain, who had ordered Britain's mighty fleet mobilized last night, had made one final effort for negotiation by an appeal through Mussolini. Hitler's partner In the fascist axis, and It worked. England Jubilant The news waa received with al most the same Jubilation In England as If an actual armistice had been declared. Many believed It waa tan tamount to that, because the mo bilization which the fuehrer deferred 24 hours almost Inevitably would have meant war with Czechoslovakia with the probability all the major European nations would be araggea In. Chamberlain told tho cheering house: "I will go to see what I can do as a last effort." In his words was seen a warning the danger was far from over. But a few minutes later he shout ed to a cheering throng that hailed him outside 10 Downing street: "It's all right this time!" The British people, who had been dleglng trenchea. and fitting on grotesque gas masks did not worry about the ominous ring 01 unamoer Iain's reference to "last effort." Rid of the tension of staring war In the face they became Jubilant and cheered "Good old Nev." Storks Up Stocks bounded upward In after- hours trading, reflecting the opti mism of financial circles. Informed circles expressed hope the conference between heads ol the two democracies and the two great fascist powers might give gun brlstllng Europe more than a breath ing spell. There wss revived talk of a pact among the "big four" and settlement of other problems beyond that of Czechoslovakia. The Munich conference revives at least temporarily Chamberlain's pro gram of "dealing with dictators" that seemed shattered yesterday. But If he makes too many conces sions In their favor at Munich, where Hitler began his march to world power IB years ago, he will risk a storm of opposition at home. Powerful sections of England, al though eager for peace, do not want to pay too big a price for It.

Invitation From Hitler The Invitation from Hitler for the Munich meeting came even as Cham berlain was telllcg a tense parlia ment of hie apparently hopeless ef forts to avert war. He revealed the fuehrer's Invita tion followed bis own appeal to Mussolini to restrain the German leader and II Duce's telephone com munication to Berlin. Chamberlain said eiltler had agreed to postpone mobilization of the Ger man army for 24 hours to permit the latcful Munich conference of the premiers to be held. While he talked the British fleet was mobilizing, millions of men were under arms in Britain. Ger many, France, Italy and Czechoslo vakia. Just as Chamberlain concluded an hour and a half talk he waa handed a penciled note by Sir John Simon, the home minister. Crisis Postponed He read It. lifted his eyes from the paper and announced the Invi tation for him, Daladler and Mus solini to meet Hitler tomorrow. The premier said: "I need not say what my answer will be. I will go to see what I can do as a last effort." t The house Immediately adjourned until Monday aB Chamberlain mak ing his momentous disclosure ended speaking at 4:20 p.m. (7:20 a.m., PST). The whole house and galleries stood and cheered madly. "No member of the house will not feel his heart leap that the crista Is once more postponed," said Cham berlain In low tones as he con cluded. In a few lightning moments after Simon handed him the scrap of pen cilled paper, he painted the changed aspect ol world affairs. "Hitler has Invited me, Mussolini and Daladler to Munich tomorrow morning." he cried. "I need not say what my answer will be." Then he disclosed the 24-hour postponement of German mobiliza tion and the fact Mussolini had sent his Berlin ambassador to For eign Minister Joachim von Rlbben trlp to ak Hitler to defer his use of force against the Czechoslovaks. There waa no Indication Czecho slovakia would be directly repre sented at Munich. All thla came after Chamberlain's electrifying break in his hour and a half somber speech. He broke his words off to read the note and then sa!d to the hushed house: "I have something else to tell the house now." And when he told It the tlrae wcrn commons became a bedlam of cheers.

It produces intense heat by con centrating the sun's rays within a small area. Concentrated in the pages of your daily newspaper is the news of the world, all the essential facts of far-flung battle lines, the discoveries of science, the administration of government, the world of sport, business and entertainment. This concentration of information produces intense reader interest, which begets results for advertisers. Few persons realize, until they have experienced isolation, how intense is the desire for news. Advertising, too, is news. The burning question in business today is how to spend wisely, without waste, for the things of solid value. In the field of adver tising the newspaper is an obvious answer.
