the old four state group appeared to
be the only ones working harmoni-

Lausanne, Jan. 5.-(By A. P.)-
Plainly, affairs are approaching q
climax At the Near East conference.
Whether the results are negative or
satisfactory. the various sub-com-
missions are holding their "last"
meetings and the great issues of the
conference on which no accord has
yet been reached will be fought out
at sessions Of the full commissions.
The Allied representatives are
agreed there has been enough de-
tailed discussion and that the con-
ference must begin to wind up its
labors. Both the British and French
spokesman declared today that the
"amicable rupture" over reparations
at Paris will not affect the Lausanne
proceedings and that If the British
and French disagree on reparatiOns,
it is no reason why they should dis
agree on the compelling necessity Of
restoring peace in the Near East.
That France gives far reaching
Importance to Near Eastern matters
is seen in the fact that M. Barrere
will leave for Paris tomorrow night
to consult with Premier Poincare.
He will return to Lausanne Tuesday.
1t is expected M. Barrere's con-
sultation with NJ. Poincare will have
a decisive influence on the confer
ence, which now is about to emerge
from a deadlock period to enter a
crisis stage.
The attitude taken by the Turks
today relative to the Ottoman debt
had a chilling effect on those ex-
pecting signature of peace. Previ-
ously the Turks had insisted that the
Turkish debt accumulated during
the war while fighting on the side Of
Germany should be distributed as a
debt between present-day Turkey
Mesopotamia now detached from
Turkey. but it was only today, at the
final session of the financial sub
commission that they announced the
figures of their total internal debt.
These figures show an increase
from 15OO00.OOO Turkish gold
pounds to 4OO.OOO.OO0. The new to-
tai was reached by adding. the
amount of paper money issued dur
ing the war, the various internal war
loans and 25,OOO,O 900 pounds for war
materials requisitioned during the
war. The Allied representatives in
sisted that they could not admit
these charges as the Allies could not
recognize that Turkeys war expenses
should be borne, by the succession
states.
"Today's proceedings were farci-
CAL" was how one Allied representa-
tive referred to the Turkish claims.
The American ambassador to
Italy, Richard Washburn Child, was
present at today's conference of AL
lied leaders. where it was decided to
bring things to head by summon
ing meetings of the full commissions
to hear reports of the subsidiary
commissions. The first ensuing
move by the Allies was to send q
note to the Turks asking them to
attend a session of the full commits
sion on capitulations. tomorrow af-
ternoon.
Capitulations and the Mosul oil
area are the two main danger points
in the Near Eastern pourparlers.

monthly payroll runs into hundreds of thousands of dollars.
 Though connected with the heart of the greater city itself by excellent transportation facilities, North Bir- mingham is a city by itself, with its noteworthy business section, it's mer- cantile establishments and other concerns catering to every need of the North Birmingham resident. North Birmingham has banks of it's own. which not only serve the cit izens of their community, but handle large accounts placed by residents of other sections of Birmingham. Banks Are Aiding.
 The banks are doing everything in their power to not only increase their usefulness to the citizens whom they serve, but to aid in the indus trial and comercial advancement of North Birmingham by going out aft CT new industries, encoura ging the growth of small business enterprises and lending every aid, particularly to the man who wants to own his own home and comes to them for aid in financing the deal. Cleon B. Rogers. president of the Security Trust and Savings Bank. announced recently that this was to be the policy of his institution, and officers and directors are bending every effort to attain practical achievements in hls broader field of endeavor.
 Tne civic spirit of North Birming- ham is manifest in the energetic work of many leading citizens of the city, in the interest of their com munity.
 Building operations are continu ing at remarkable rate in North Birmingham. Not only are scores of residences going up to house newly arrived additions to the citizenry. but a number of business buildings are in course of construction.
 Merchants have taken care to pre- pare themselves for the Christmas rush. and business men in general are looking forward to 1924 with the confidence that 1t will be the best year in the clty's history, as each year before 1t in the march of pro- eress has been the best,

NORTH BIRMINGHAM GOING

Industrial Locaton But Also As Pleasant Residential Community With Civic And Home Advantages Equal To Any

With some of the biggest plants in the Birmingham distrct in its im- mediate vicinity, and scores ot smaller industries constantly estab- fishing new factories in this favored section, North Birmingham is forg- ing ahead to one of the foremost positions among Birmingham's indus trial suburbs
 In addition to the great furnaces. cast iron pressure pipe and soil pipe manufactures, there are other estab- lishments with monthly mounting payroll, manufacturing soil products. food products, steel fabricated prod ucts, lumber products and score or more of diversified articles and com modities.
 One of the proud distinctions which North Birmingham has, Is that its potentialities as splendid resis dental site are even greater, if pos sible, than it's great advantage as a site for manufacturing plants. Sit uated at a good elevation. well drained. with properly laid out city streets, and with all the municipal advantages that many 6 larger city lack, North Birmingham calls to the home-owner, the industrial worker who wants a pleasant place to estab- lish his home, as well as good job. Increase In Population.
 The increase in population ot North Birmingham, and the steady march of progress in residence con- struction, during the past several years, has attested not only the 1n- dustrial advancement of the city, but the work done by it's civic upbLilders in spreading to other sections the news of it's superior advantages as a good place to live.
