MEDFOHD MATE TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, 'OREGON, "WEDNESDAY, 'AUGUST 29, 193?. PAGE SEVEN1 A SHELVED BY NEW RAPIDTANK USE Italian Maneuvers Show No Time for Digging in When Fighting Is Forced by Swiftly Moving Forces By Audrue Berdlng. Associated Press Foreign Staff. ROME, Aug. 29. (AP) Italian military authorities, calculating the yiesnlU of th recent army maneuv ers, declared today that trench war tare was absolete. This conclusion, they said, results from their observations of the new rapidity In troop movements due partly to the greatly Increased use of tanks. They declared the first 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 so rapid that there would be no opportunity to dig trenches nor would there be anything gained by discing them. Contrasting the 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 came up against machine gun fire. The opposing forces then counter-attack ed on the basis of the Inverted V and forced the original attackers' retirement. V In the eventual war, the Italian expert said, the attacking forces, after breaking through their enemy'B lines, will not entrench but will con tinue to push forward with tanks Consequently, the eventual war will be with the opposing forces moving back and forth much more rapidly over the battle territory with their gains and losses aground much more considerable. The experts said they also expect ed to fight the eventual war with much fewer men at the front, one reason being a greater use of mech anical weapons and another the dif ficulty of maintaining a service of supplies owing to enemy aircraft. LONDON, Aug. 29. (AP) An In- creasing conviction that another war In Europe would be more open and mechanized than conflicts of the past has resulted In the creation this summer of Great Britain's first permanent tank brigade. Explaining this Important trans formation within the army, a war office spokesman asserted that state ment that "trench warfare has end Led" are a matter of opinion. But the value of tanks is now firmly es tablished, he added. Plan M a Factor. The ability of a large sized tank force to make an effective move of 100 miles within 24 hours Is no long er disputed, he said. But an 1m portant issue, he said. Is the ques tlon of how much airplanes can In terfere with the usefulness of tanks. Unofficial reports said that in ma neuvers on the Wiltshire plains last week aviators found it difficult to keep sight of the tanks once they had deployed over the wooden countryside.

E PARIS, Aug. 29.-(AP The French general staff agreed today with some of the announced conclusions of Italian military experts regarding the "eventual war," but French military men said trenches still were likely to play a vital role In warfare. They aald the old stalemate of trench warfare will be radically af fected by the speed of highly me chanized modern armies but that whatever future warfare may hold, they themselves, the French, still pin their faith to a fortified trench ystem. They speak of the one that cost 1100,000,000 to dig on the German border as powerful enough to hold back the first shock of an attack and give time to mobilize an army. French military men hold that the Infantry Is still the backbone of an army and, as long as It re mains so, trenches, whether held for an hour or a year will still be dug for shelter. PORTLAND.
