Show : WOMM WAR EXPERT WILL BE HONORED i Only One of Her Sex Who Predicted the Trench Warfare. (Special Cable by Arrangement with London Ually Teleffraph and International News Service.) PARIS, Jan. 22. The only woman who predicted trench warfare, Mile. Ietoyko, will have conferred upon her the highest French intellectual honor on Monday, when she will be invested with a professional chair in the College of France, where she will deliver a course of lectures on the wearing down of the human motor through fatigue. She is a middle-aged Polo, who was for fifteen years head of the psychophysiological psycho-physiological laboratory at the University Univer-sity of Brussels. In a book published in 1905 she said: "Tho future war will be a war of sieges and trenches. It will be impossible impos-sible without immense losses and great numerical superiority to execute frontal attacks. The losses of officers will be considerable and decisive victories will be rare, because the vanquished will im-immediately im-immediately take up entrenched posi tions in the rear. Given equal strength, a modern war will last much longer than past wars. |
