MEN TIRE OF CONTEST

Berlin, May 17-General Moltke, chief general of the army staff for the German army, in conference with other officers at which they discussed the fighting powers and possible offensive and defensive strength of the warning nations made the statemenf,1 "The Allies have reached their limit of resist ance."
 He bases his statement on the study of the recruiting methods used by the allies and bAe respond to the call for more soldiers. Dis satisfaction is springng up in the ranks of the Allies. Soldiers are tired of the long, gruelling STntest. He also pointed out the weakness oi the Allies food supply, their short age of crops and the ability of the Germans to cut off sea commerce by an active submarine blockade.

TREASON TRIAL
 BEFORE COURT
DEFENSE SAVED FOR HIGHER
 COURT

London, May 1.-The trial of Sir Roger Easement has virtually closed. The charges laid against the Irish captor are very severe; he is charged with unlawfully, ma liciously and traitorously commit ting treason within the realm of the British Empire. This trial is before the police court and Is pre- liminary to the real trial which will be before a panel of judges of the High Crown Court of Justice.
 Uanile Bailey a private soldier has also been joined with Case meut in the returned charges of treason and will be tried along with aim for the same offenses.
 Sir Roger has saved his defense for the High Crown court and has placed no definite defense up at the preliminary hearing. While mak- ing a statement to the exami6ers he broke down and wept like . child. The feeling of sympathy on the part of the Irish is with him. In fact the announcement that he was to be given a trial came as surprise to most of the people as it was thought that he would be placed in solitary confinement for the rest of his life.

RUSSIAN GRASP
 IS TIGHTENING
FOOD SUPPLY SHORT
Russians Sweep Through Turks Treu,hes With Little Opposition, Relieved that Turkish Army Cam not Stand Much Longer.

Petrograd, May 1.-The Russian grasp s fast tightening on the Mesopotamia. The Turks have been defeated in every engagement for the last three days. The Rus sian army has plowed through the Turkish trenches with but little oD- position. Thousands have been captured by the Russians and are held as prisoners of war.
 Military leaders believe that the last kick of the Turkish army has been felt and that any opposition which will henceforth come from that quarter can be easily handled by the men they have on the field at the present time. The Turks are in a disorganized state. The food supply is reported as being low. It is a known fact that their ammunition is short and that they are not able to stand a lengthy campaign such as has been planned by the Russian leaders.
 Entire control of the MesOpo- tamia is expected on the part of the Russians in the course of Q few days. No engagements have been reported today on the front. Yesterday every thing went for the invading offensive campaign of the Russians. .r

 FIRE FIGHTERS
ALI WILL RECOVER

Spokane, May 17-Fire broke out in lhe rear end of drug store of this city last night and for while threatened a whole block of busi- ness houses in the square.
 A chemist was mixing acids when they exploded, setting fire to the store. A draft was sweeping through the building and it spread rapidly. The fire department was summoned and after three hours of stiff fire fighting finally got the blaze under control.
 Fifty firemen were overcome by the fumes from poisonous gases. Ten ambulauces were summoned and they were rushed f0 the bospi- tals in this city. Attending doctors have pronounced that all will re- cover from the nhaling of the poi sonous gas.
