TRENCH WARFARE IS OBSOLETE IS ITALIAN BELIEF By Andrue Herding (Associated Press Foreign Staff),. BOMB W .Italian military aur thorlttos, calculating the result of the recent army maneuvers, have de clared that trench warfare was obso lete. Thte conclusion, they said, re sults from their observations of the new rapidity In troop movements due partly to the greatly increased use of tanks I They declared the flrt onslaught of tanks and fast moving troops would break through a line of trenches and force fighting out into the open. The movement would then become o rapid that there would be no opportunity to dig trenches nor would there be anything gained by digging them. ; . , . Contrasting tho eventual war with the last, they said that on the west ern front, when troops -broke through, they entrenched themselves . In new "inverted V" positions as they come up against machine gun fire. The op posing forces then counter-attacked on tho bauis of the inverted V nnd forced tho original attackers' retire ment. ..... Iii; the eventual war, the Italian expert said, the attacking force, afr ter .breaking through their enemy's lines, will not entrench but will con tinue to push forward with tanks. , The experts said they also expected to fight the eventual war with much, fewqr men at the front, one reason being a greater use of mechanical weapons and another the difficulty : of maintaining a service of supplies j owing to enemy aircraft.
