TURKEY IS READY
 TO GIVE UP FIGHT
AdrianOple Will Be Given Up to the Bulgarians-ASk Only to Retain the Mosque and
 the TOmbs.

London, Feb. 23-The Sublime Porte has instructed Hakki Pasha Turkish peace envoy in London, to request the good offices of England in bringing about the reopening of the Balkan peace negotiations, ac- cording to a special dispatch last night from Constantinople.
 The Turkish government has agreed to accept in the main the recommendation of the great pow CTS, which were that Turkey meet the principal demands of the allies.
 Asks for New Conditions.
 A news agency dispatch from Sofia said the British minister there hac requested the Bulgarian min ister, NJ. Gueschoff, to formulate new peace conditions for the pre- sentation to the Turks. It was said that this action of England was in pursuance of Turkeys agreement to be more reasonable if negotia- tions were resumed in London.
 Diplomats last night believed that peace in the Balkans would be brought about within . few weeks, Hakki Pasha has been in almost daily conference with Sir Edward Grey, foreign secretary, at the for eign office and it was known that Turkey desired fresh negotiations.
 To Give Up AdrianOple
 It was the belief that Turkey was ready to consent to practically all demands by the allies if the Otto- mans are allowed to retain their mosques and tombs in Adrianople, and it is thought in official circles that the allies can be persuaded by the powers to consent to this ar rangement.
 Since the war was resumed Tur- key and the Balkan states have lost heavily in men and the financial drain on their already depleted eX- hcequers ahs considerably damp ened the ardor of all the bellige- rents.

Broken Oil Pipe Line Caused Blaze
 in Oklahoma.

E. E. Mcdonald, J. R. Hudson, Fleming Holiday and ReD Tarpley, all of Ida, Ok, were in Mena Tues day shopping and visiting.
 Mr. Mcdonald states that there was a break Saturday of the big oil pipe line at a point where it crosses Little Eagle, a mountain stream about forty-five miles west of Mena. The pump ran for hours before the break was discovered, and great quantities of the oil ran down stream into Big Eagle and Mountain Fork river. This oil was, in some manner, set afiFe, the flames and smoke creating wild and weird scenes. All the fish in the streams, Mr. Mcdonald states, will be killed as a result.
 Bob Allen, who owns a farm that borders on Mountain Fork for three-quarters of a mile, also saw the great confagration of burning oil He states that for twenty four hours after the break the pumps were forcing a solid S-inch stream of oil into the opening and the streams.
