 VALUABLE BOOKS ON AERONAUTICS SOL D

LONDON, Jan. 5.-The council of the Royal Aeronautical society an nounced recently that through the generosity of the trustees of the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust it has been able to arrange for the pur- chase of a large number of valuable historical books on aeronautics which would otherwise have been sold to an American company.
 The books are of interest as they were written before the possibilities fo aircrift were fully realized, and there are remarkably few copies known to exist.
 These works, together with the li- brary already possessed by the so- ciety, makes it's collection of early and modern aeronautical literature probably unsurpassed in this or any other country. The books in the so- ciety's library are available to any student in the British Isles.

APPROACH CRISIS. IN G0NSIlE RAT |ON.
 IF TURK PaObLEM.
Frenoh Delegation Making Desperate Effort to Recon- cle Views at Lausanne
 Near Easi Farley
By Associated Press

LAUSANNE, Jan. 5.--Plainly af- fairs are approaching a climax at the Near East conference. Whether the results are negative or satisfac- tory, the various subcommissions are holding their "last'meetings and the great issues on which no accord has been reached will be fought out at sessions of the full commission.
 The allied representatives are agreed that the conference must be- gin to wind up it's labors, The Brit ish and French spokesmen declared today that the amicable rupture over reparations at Paris will not affect the Lausanne proceedings and that it is no reason why they should disagree on the Near East questions.
 Conference Important.
 That France gives far reaching importance to Near Eastern matters is seen in the fact that M. Barrere will leave for Paris tomorrow to con- suit with Premier Poincare. M. Bar rere has the admiration of all the delegations, including the Turkish and American, for his skilfull, al- though perfectly open, diplomacy in seeking to harmonize the widely di- vergent views which the plenipoten- tiaries have been called upon to reconcile.
 M. Barrere has rallied vigorously to the support of the French eco homie and financial claims and has been endeavoring to induce the Turks to see the reasonableness or the allied and American view on ca- pitulations. It is expected his con sultation with M. Poincare will have a decisive influence on the confer ence, which now is about to emerge from deadlock period to enter a crisis stage.
