Canadian Troops Paid Heavy Price At Dieppe
Defense Minister RalstOn Announces Casualties Were Big; Canadians Gain Six Positive Achieve
 nlents By Their Attacks at Dieppe

Ottawa, Sept. 18-(UP)-Cana- dian troops at Dieppe paid very heavy price in casualties but ob- tained information and experience vital to the general offensive pro- gram" of the United Nations, de- fense minister J. L. Ralston said today.
 The statement, made to the peo- pie of Canada in view of the heavy casualties, disclosed that of the 5000 Canadian troops in the en- gagement, more than half, 3,367 men, were killed, wounded or miss ing.
 "The United Nations" he said "have an agreed offensive policy. In the preparation and develop ment of such a policy the aquisi- tion of the fullest possible infor- nation concerning the enenly'S strength and every other element in the situation affecting the con- duct of operations against him is a matter of the most fundamental importance.
 "Such information is available from many sources, but 1t is fre- quently the case that facts es- .sential to the successful prosecu- tion of offensive operations can only be gained by fighting for them. The Dieppe operation must be re- garded in this light.
 "It was, in fact, a reconnals- sance in force conceived with the important object of obtaining in- formation and experience vital to

5OO,OOO, PEOPLE
 OF EUROPE IN DANGER
Nazis Keep Steadily Shift- ing Great Burdens Onto
 the Civilians
BY JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign Editor)

London, September 18. = tUP) - Reports from re- Sponsible diplomatic quarters today said that Germany has stationed several hundred thousand - possibly 500, 1000 - SS troops throughout the Reich as a precaution against popular resentment of the expected hardships of the worst winter of the war.
 The sources emphasized that there was nothinng in the reports if they are correct = to indicate any crackup within Germany.
 But they cited the reported Nazi precaution as 8 sign of what lies ahead for Europe and its 500 900, ,00O people as 1t moves intO-the worst winter of the war possibly the worst of modern times - with the stage of decisive showdowns ahead.
 The next five or six months, 1t was apparent, promised little but bitterness and suffering from the whole continent and greatly in- creased hardships in the British Isles. Cold, hunger, illness and death will not be the monopoly of any nationality in Europe.
 Already the signs have appeared in a dozen places. Both the Al- lied and the German peoples have been warned to prepare for greater

JOHN MAHONEY IS
 PUZZLE TO COURT
Judge Booth Discovers He Was Held Illegally; Who
 Is to Blame?'

Who picked him up?" The ques- ton surged through superior court this morning as spectators eagerly looked from sheriff to sheriff after Judge John Rufus Booth discovered that a man who was brought from New Haven county jail to answer charges of contempt had been il- legally held.
 The revelation came in the clos ing discussion of the case of John Mahoney of Waterbury whose di- vorced wife claimed he did not pay her for the support of four children as ordered when the divorce was granted Feb. 6. Judge Booth, Atty A. Henry Weisman who was coun- sci for the petitioner, and Public Defender Carmody who represented the accused man, appeared to be in dilemma regarding the practi- cal way of ending the case.
 If Mahoney were ruled in con- tempt, it was pointed out, he would have tn go hack to jail and could not pay for support of his chill dren. Yet if he were released, 1t was brought out, he still could not pay the $l78 per week ordered, ard would again have to face charges of contempt. The amount could not be decreased to $l4 per week, as the accused man suggested. be- cause there was no motion for modification of Judgment.
 Then Came Disclosure
 It was at that point of the delib- eration that Judge Booth asked for papers which committed the man to jail for failure to support the children. The court was tense as

At an English Port, Sept. l8.- (UP)-World famous ships have brought another large force of American troops to the British Isles.
 Fighting men, carrying heavy personal arms, and anti-aircraft and transport units made up most of the new force. There were also hundreds of Army technical experts, few air force personnel and some of the Army'S new special service companies, trained to conduct and direct troop recreational activities.
 British and American warships and, toward the last, Royal Air Force flying boats escorted the con- voy on a speedy. smooth. unevent- full crossing despite German claims of intensive submarine activity.
 As fast as the men landed they were taken to waiting trains and sent to camps which had been pre- pared in advance.

MYRON TAYLOR
 IS GOING OVER
Special Envoy to Vatican Has Been Sent Again By
 President
BY FREDERICK OECHSNER United Press Central European
 ManagerA

r The return to the Vatican of My ron c. Taylor, President Roosevelts personal representative, is an inter- esting development. The fact that it necessitates a journey, however short and with safe conduct guar anteed, through enemy territory, and that it is to be only for "a lim- tied time" indicates that Taylor has something definite and special to attend to. Neither MT. Roosevelt nor Secretary Hull have given any indi- cation of what it is, which is na- tural under the circumstances.
 It is equally natural that the mission has already been associated in the public mind with peace feelers," Peace feelers from whom? Certainly not from us or the Brit ish, for if there are two powers OH earth today which have little need and little intention of talking peace, they are those at Washington and London.
 The Italian government is report ed to be indifferent" to Taylor's trip, whereas the Germans merely reported his arrival in Rome. Both of these reactions of elaborate dis interest are typical but the official attitude of governments in such
