Roosevelt Warns Axis Leaders
They Face rial for Atrocities;
Allies Rule Air Across Channel
Great Amiens Roid
Meets But Little
Nozi Opposition
B. the Associated Press.

B. the Associated Press.
ONDON, Aug. 21.-The
clipped wings of the German Air
Force In Western Europe we're
rated by British observers today
as the first big dividend OF
Dieppe.
Allied mastery of the air, they
asserted, now is complete beyond
challenge, not only over Britain
and the Channel, but even deep
into enemy territory itself.
These commentators, whose
identity could not be disclosed. said
this was proved by the extraordinary
show of Allied airpower yesterday,
with virtually no opposition and ap-
parently without the loss of a single
plane, over German held soil.
In broad daylight, 500 fighters
swept across the French coast
where never before had more than
300 planes made such raid at one
time-and force OF the United
States big four-engined Flying
Fortresses rained explosives on the
Amiens railway yards without even
sighting a Nazi fighter over the
target.
One German Focke-Wulf 100
plane was shot into the sea and
others were damaged.
Allied Triumph At Dieppe.
The smoke of battle has lifted
from ruined Dieppe. The natural
surge OF enthusiasm over the mas
terful assault on the most strongly
guarded point Of Nazi coast has
given way to sober reasoning.
But even in the cold light of fact
and figure, Britons regarded We'd
nesday as day of Allied triumph
from every angle--as a victory on
the field itself. as q help to Soviet
Russia, as a step forward in the
whole master plan OF the United
Nations.
A communique summarizing the
raid called it successful demon
stration Of coordination of all three
services"-land, sea. and air.
Although the Official announce
ment labelled the attack merely a
reconnaissance in force" 1t said
the raid had vital part" in Allied
policy.
Balance Sheet Of Raid.
Here was its profit and loss
account:
Gains:
Ninety-one German planes def
nitely destroyed with about twice
that number probably destroyed or
damaged;
Two gun batteries destroyed;
A radio location station destroyed.
Two small vessels sunk.
Heavy casualties inflicted on the
Germans.
Prisoners captured.
Losses:
Ninety EIGHT Allied planes lost.
The destroyer Berkeley, 904 tons.
sunk.
Fairly large number" of landing
craft destroyed.
The loss of all the unspecified
number of tanks put ashore which
the attackers had been ordered to
blow up before e-embarkation.
Heavy casualties, although there
still was no of1icial figure on the
invaders numbers or their ratio OF
losses. The communique called it
simply "a large military force"
The outcome surpassed the OBJ
jectives set forth in the announce
ment: 'The testing by an offensive

He described such reasoning as

Mr., Henderson explained that the

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Cargo

Building $4,000 cargo planes
which would carry Is tons each

probably not nearly so difficult, as

MOSCOW, Aug. 21.-German

River loop southeast of Klet-
skaya fought violently for a
pathway to Stalingrad today. but
field dispatches said strong Rus
sian bayonet charges pinned
down the vanguard and the
complementary thrust from the
southwest was hurled back by
counterattacks.
Izvestia declared that almost all
the Germans who sought to estab-
lish bridgeheads along the Don
bend were exterminated, but two
fresh Nazi divisions moved up.
This report from the government
publication came as the army news
paper Red Star said approaches to
the river were covered with the
bodies OF Germans, Italians, Hun
garians and Rumanians, even while
the crossing effort persisted.
German sirmen supported the as

The Axis dead totaled thousands,

charge into Red Army positions at
one place, but six were destroyed and
the others turned back.
Heavy Soviet artillery and Soviet
tank crews co-operated to thwart a
charge of IS tanks on the Russian
lines in another sector during the
critical battle on the Don bend.
Reserve Troops Sent Up.
Setbacks to the southern arm of
the German pincers aimed at Stall
ingrad led to the assignment of new
planes, tanks and reserve troops to
that theater above Kotelnikovski.
A dispatch to Izvestia said a great
area was set af1ame when German
tanks hit Soviet minefield. Soviet
fighters swept up to shoot down
many dive-bombers attacking Red
Army lines, but other Nazi aircraft
quickly took their places.
Five German columns of tanks
and motorized infantry were re-
ported moving behind aerial and ar
tillery bombardment in the thrust

The pamphlet carries complete

Nazi propaganda in Hitler's army
has built up such fear among the
soldiers Of being executed as soon as
they are captured by the Russians
that these personal messages from
German prisoners provide the most
effective way to make Fritz scratch
his head and think again.
Full advantage, is also being taken
OF the German soldiers pronounced

leafiet and by loud speaker he is
constantly being reminded that an
other Russian winter is just around

itably means to the unfortunate in

Of Germans to information and Tounts

tered over German positions by Rus
sian planes. the Red Army has a
great variety of methods for max
ing sure that they reach German
hands.
At night Russian soldiers often
carry packages of pamphlets across
no mans land and toss them into
enemy trenches. Where the lines
are close the leaflets and news sheets
are sometimes shot from slingshots
or are tied to toy balloons put
adrift when the wind Is in the right
direction. Then riflemen puncture
the balloons when they are above
the Nazi positions.
Volga Delivers Propaganda.
In some places, the Volga's cur
rent will carry leaflets in the shape
of paper boats across to the German
shore. Then there are certain
places between the lines where the
Germans reconnoiter every night,
so the Russian pamphlets are de-
posted for Fritz to pick up-and
often letters written by German
prisoners to their families are
posted" in this fashion. In all
these ways, direct approach to the
German soldiers is maintained.
1t is feature of the Russians
German language leaflets that they
are extremely personal in content.
They contain great many mess
ages from German prisoners and
they are usually addressed to spe-
cif1c regiments, battalions. or divi-
sions instead Of being addressed to
any German soldier anywhere. A
good example is the following
phamphlet:

Reminded That Stalingrad Holds.
On this front the Russians loud
speakers must be a particular thorn
in the flesh OF the Nazi high COM
mand because what the German SOL
diers, hear, night after night, is
based especially on what German
prisoners say and reveal. German
soldiers In Russia don't know any
thing about Allied bombing raids
on Germany, or the recent American
bombing visitation upon Lille, for
instance. But "Fritzies' in Rzhevs
front lines get all such news very
specifically nightly in their own

over the fact that their officers
promised them that the Nazis would
capture Stalingrad early in Sep
