LONDON. July 28-Although the Germans are using very strong rein crcements of men, and guns they have not succeeded in breaking the Russ.a n resistance either around Warsaw or in koyno, in the Courland provinces. in each of which sectors heavy fighting has been Tn progress for nearly fort night. Except the capture Of the vil- lage Of GoWorowo, on the Narew front and number of prisoners, on ma chine guns at that point and between Mitau and the Niemen, the German official report does not claim any ad- vance.
 In the fighting about Warsaw, Gen Non Bueiow in the north, and Field Marshal von Hindenburg who crossed the Narew at some points are being held up by Russian counter attacks which although probably costly to the Russians show there is still plenty of fight left in them.
 In the southeast Field Marshal Von Mackensen's attack on the Lublin- Cholm railway seems for the moment to have come to d standstin, although he too is receiving endorsements. and assistance from the Austrians who succeeded in crossing the Bug at So- kai
 To the west of Warsaw. the Germans announce the capture of the village of Piorulov which is about fifteen miles west Of the fort line oe the city. so that not much progress has been made at this front.

 The stubborn resistance of the Grand Dukes troops, together with the fact that the battle is being fought on ground Of his choosing. has renewed the hope here that with a sufficient supply Of munitions he will be able to inflict strategic defeat on the German ic allies.

Lefer Held FOy DyndNite

WINDSOR, Ont. July 2s.-William Lefler, of this city. was found guilty today in a justice court at Sandwich, q suburb. on two of three counts in the Indictment charging him with dy- namiting the plant of the Peabody Manufacturing Company at Walker vile, near nere, by placing dynamite under the Windsor Armory several weeks ago.
 The name of Albert Kaltschmidt. a Detroit business man, was brought into the case with the reading of one of the counts upon which Lefler was convicted. This count held that Lef- Ter conspired with Kaltschmidt and "one Schmidt to wreck the Peabody buildings. and the Windsor armory. The other count alleged that Lefler was responsible for the explosion in the Peabody plant.
 The third count, in which Lefler was accused of unlawfully having dy- namite in his possession was quashed with the consent of the crown attor- ney. An appeal will probably be ta.- en to the Ontario high court on the ground that the indictment agai1st Leler is defective

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-With the receipt Of practically complete re- port of the torpedoing of the Ameri- can steamer Leelanaw by German submarine. the state department of ficials today began the preparation of note to Germany requesting payment for damages on the ground that the Prussian-American treaty had been violated. The report of Consul Dennison at Dundee revealed the fact that the captain of the Lee lanaw attempted to escape but sub mitted to a visit and search after warning shots were fired,

The material necessary for the presentation of claim similar to that made in the case of the Wm. r Frye. therefore is practically ready for consideration tonight
 The complete report of Consul Den nison dated today follows, The Leelanaws crew is here All are safe. They will sail on Sunday on the St Paul.
