LESSON OF POLAND
Turkey Wants Stronger Air Force United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received December 15, 9.10 p.m.) ANKARA, December 14 Turkey is making a spirited effort to organise her air force largely with British assistance.

One hundred new British machines are now being assembled and French and American machines have also been ordered.
