The war has become and is likely to continue for some time a contest of endur ance, Premier Asquith told the house of commons this afternoon while making a general review in moving the adjournment of par liament from tomorrow until Sep tember 14. The premier declared that the British government's confidence, in the results of the Dardanelles operations was undiminished. The'premier emphasized his con fidence in the victory of both the French and British armies engag ed in the western field. " The British fleet was today far stronger, the premier continued, than atthe beginning of the war, and to its quiet and unobserved, but all-powerful activity is due the fact that the seas are clear or substantially clear.

Pineview the Place. London, July 28. Although the Germans are , usinj very strong reeinforcements of men and guns, they have not yet succeeed in breaking the Russian resistance, either around Warsaw or in Ko vno -and Courtland proinces, in each of. which sections there has been heavy fighting for nearly a fort night. Except for the capture of the village ; of Goworowo, on the Na rew front, and a number of pris oners and machine guns at that point and between Mitau and the Niemen, the German official report today does not claim any advance. General von Buelow, in the north, and Field Marshal von Hin denburg, who crossed the Narew at some points, havejaeen checked by Russian counter-attacks. In the southeast Field Marshal von Mackensen's attack on the Lublin-Chelm railway seems to have come to a standstill, although he, too, is receiving reinforcements and assistance from the Austrians, who crossed the Bug at Sokal. To the west of Warsaw the Ger mans announce the capture of the village of Porunov, which is about 15 miles west of the fort line of the city; so that, not much prog ress has been made on this front. While the Russian and German reports are conflicting in many re spects, it is believed the stubborn resistance of the grand duke's troops, together with the fact that the battle is being fought on ground of his choosing, has renew ed the hope here that, with a suffi cient supply of munitions, he will be able to inflict a strategic defeat on the Germanic allies. . . pillllIIIIIIIIIIUlllH We Will irr n !
