CANADIANS RAP DIEppE
 RAID PRICE
Government DepIores },
 $50 Casualties as Not Worth Gains Made

OTTAWA, Sept. 18.-The Can adian Government said flatly today that "a very heavy price" was paid, considering what was gained by the Allied forces raid August l9 on Dieppe.
 A 4,000 word review issued by Defense Minister Ralston summed up the raid as follows
 For the lessons learned and ad- vantages gained. the forces, par ticularly the land forces, paid a very heavy price"
 The Canadian Army, which fur nished all but a small part of the land forces, suffered 3,350 casual ties; ITO killed, 633 wounded and 2,547 missing. It was the costliest Canadian military operation of the war.
 These losses, the statement said were probably due in part to the misfortune" of chance encounter with an escorted German tanker in the English Channel. This mis- hap marred the complete achieve ment of surprise"

tBy Associated Press)

Hitler's siege armies have been twice hurled back in bloody street fighting and are reported hastily erecting defenses on the northwest outskirts of Stalingrad as the Rus sians seized the initiative in a dra- matic eleventh hour rally.
 Dispatches said that the Red Army defenders were backed down three lined avenues to the cliffs overlooking the Volga waterfront. at one time, and then with the bluffs behind them and Nazi tanks in front, the Soviets struck back in a supreme effort to save the big steel city and forced the in yaders to retreat.
 Significantly, Hitlers headquart- CTS made only a broad general claim that Nazi troops had scored further successes" in the battle of Stalingrad.
 The Germans again emphasized the "embittered" nature of the fighting. There was no repetition of previous Berlin claims that Ger man troops are thrusting deeper into the city's streets.
 Advices from Moscow said that Russian tanks have gone over to the offensive in two neighboring sectors on the Stalingrad front. on orders from Stalin, High Com mander.
 Tass news agency reported that hundreds of fresh Siberian troops are now moving into the battle. Bodies by the hundreds, German dead. hulks, burned out Nazi tanks litter the street, dispatches said today as the Russians obeyed Stall in's order to sweep the Na1 tide back north.

For people who come from the land where lumber doesn't grow on trees, Alaskas Aleuts, evacuated from the battle zone of the Aleutian Islands, do pretty good with ham mers and nails.
 Three weeks after one group had been moved from temporary head quarters at Wrangell Institute to the old eco camp at Ward Lake near Ketchikan, the natives erected Is new cottages, warehouse and quarters for their teachers. Many of the houses were built from foundation to roof in a single day.
 Fred Geeslin. Administrative As sistant to General Superintendent Claude M. Hirst of the Alaska Off, flee of Indian Affairs, supervised the construction The Aleuts asked for plans and he told them just to be sure and get in four windows and a door. They went to work. It took them 21 days to double the size of the camp, and most of the cottages are three and four-room af- fairs. complete with electrical wiring and hardware. Six of them already are painted.
 Low Cost Job
 Geeslin estimates that the total cost of each house is under $50.
 The natives at Ward Lake include those from Akutan, Kashega, Maku- shin, Biorka and Nikolski = 164 of them. Forty-five of the workmen will be ready Monday to accept employment elsewhere and Geeslin believes most of the natives will be

LONDON, Sept. 18.-Strong new British forces have landed on the east coast of Madagascar and oc- cupied the port of Tamative after some French resistance, the British East Africa Command announces.

NAZlS ARE SWEPT BACK AT STALINCRAI
Grew Says Japs Are Our Most Formidable
 Enemy, Moi Germans

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Sept. 18.-De- scribing Japan as our most for midable enemy, far tougher than Germany, former Ambassador Jos eph c. Grew told war rally lun- cheon here that the Germans cracked in 1918 and they'll crack again, but the Japanese will fight until they are utterly crushed.
 Grew indicated that he was pro- foundly shocked to hear people in this country talk as if Germany, in time, will be defeated and then we'll mop up on the Japs."
 He agreed with those who be- lieve that the German morale will not survive a series of setbacks, but added, the Japanese will not crack. They will not crack morally or psychologically or economically Even when eventual defeat stares them in the face, only by utter pflySlCdl dCoUl uCOlOll Ol uOtCl CA- haustion of their men and mat erials can they be defeated"
 It is difficult for Americans who have never lived in Japan Grew continued, to form any conception of overwhelming confidence in the Japanese Army and Navy and their ability to subjugate not only large areas in Asia, but in the Western hemisphere, too.
 Grew asked: You realize that the Japanese already are in the Aleutians, don't you, not far from Alaska?
 T mention it merely as a con- crete indication of what the armed forces of Japan hope to do, what they intend to do, and what they will do if they can--first, bomb important American centers, then, eventually invade America"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-Break- down of national crime statistics by the FBI shows that American gals are stepping right in to pinch hit for their brothers in the law breaking business.
 The records show that during the first six months of 1942, 10.2 per cent of all offenders arrested were women, an increase over 1941, when 9.l of those arrested were females. (The FBI says, however, that the apparent increase may be due to better statistical reporting of female crime by cooperating agencies)
 The war is reflected in the marked increase in sex crimes, With thousands of men away from home, and conditions generally up- set, the index of rape cases 1n- creased 9.9 per cent in the first six months of 1922 as compared with the similar period in 1941.
