THE AUSTRO-GERMAN BLOW IN 
V/ESTERN GALICIA. 
THIS issue of Land and Water will be in 
the hands of the public upon the morning 
of Thursday, May 6. It is probable 
that by that time the main truth about 
the Austro- German blow delivered in Galicia, 
which took place upon Friday, Saturday, and 
Sunday last, April 30, and May 1 and 2, will 
then be public property. 
But at the moment of writing this article 
(which is Tuesday evening) there is nothing upon 
which to base a judgment save analysis from past 
news of a similar nature. It is an unfortunate 
coincidence, for the purpose of this analysis, tha£ 
the first and imperfect news received from one side 
only should be all that we have had in London 
before the main part of this article can be com- 
pleted. _ But it is unavoidable. If further news 
correcting the first German communique is 
received in time for the addition of a postscript 
to-morrow (Wednesday) morning I will add such 
a postscript. 
First of all, we can make certain of the follow*, 
ing points : — 
(1) There has been a long concentration of 
enemy troops against the Dunajec front. That is, 
against the positions of our ally upon the extreme 
west of their armies in Galicia.
