We have had our preview OF
the second front. Yesterday
forces of the United States, Can
ada, Britain and the Fighting
French broke into the defenses
OF Maitland at Dieppe, main
tanned themselves for nine hours
on the soil Of Adolf Hitlers New
Europe and returned to base on
schedule.
For the first time an Allied
landing on the continent has
been carried out under the con-
ditions that will obtain when the
Commands and Rangers are fol-
lowed by the great transport
fleets filled with the army of Eu-
ropes liberation.
Goebbels' propaganda machine,
trying to convince the Germans
and their slave peoples that
Dleppe was the real thing and
that 1t failed disastrously, pic
tured a mythical transport fleet
lying offshore in the Channel
mlsts yesterday. But that was
only a f1gment of the Goebbels
imagination; when it becomes
reality the Nazis will have to
invent new myths to explain
the opening of a new and
dreaded phase of the war.
"Dunkerque In Reverse"
This preview OF the second
front IS at once an inspiration
and warning of the cost of the
grim task that must be under
taken and carried through. The
United Nations have done what
Hitler has not dared to attempt
even when Britain reeled al
most helpless after Dunkeroue
They have crossed the Channel
and landed with all the weapons
OF invasion on the enemy coast.
Dieppe was Dunkerque In re-
verse, with mighty canopy of
planes covering an offensive oper-
alton, not = retreat. It showed
vividly how greatly the war situa-
ton has changed since the black
days of June, 1910, for not even
the dangerous position OF the
Russians in the Caucasus or the
threat to Suez can obscure the
growing accumulation Of evidence
that the initiative is passing from
Hitler's hands to the forces bent
on his destruction.
United States troops have

Dieppe Roid Called Warning to Allies
Of Grim Cost of Invasion

first time since 1918. This land
ing. Of course. was under far dif-
ferent conditions from those un-
der which the stream Of 2,000, 900
Americans flowed through the
friendly ports Of Brest, st. Ma
zaire ard Bordeaux a quarter
century ago. when nearly all
France was 4 beachhead for the
British and Americans. This time
the establishment OF the con-
tinental beachhead Is a necessary
preliminary to a march TO the
Rhine and beyond. Dieppe was
the dress rehearsal for that vast
and costly operation.
Losses Are Heavy.
Yesterdays landing was ad-
mittedly costly. The Canadian
people, whose sons formed the
bulk Of the landing forces-grim-
ly welcoming the chance after
two years OF waiting and prepa-
ration-have been warned by
their government to expect heavy
casualties. Nearly 100 Allied
fighter planes were lost, with at
least 68 pilots, heavy toll even
though Offset by at least equally
heavy German losses, which some
experts estimated accounted for
a third OF the Nazi air power in
the western coastal zone Of oper-
ations.
The layman may ask for the
justification OF this expenditure
of life and costly weapons. 1t
is simply that 50 tremendously
important an operation as the
invasion OF Maitland cannot be
undertaken without every bit Of
knowledge and experience that
can be gathered-knowledge of
the enemy's permanent fortifi-
cations and tactical dispositions
and plans, experience of what the
enterprise requires in the way Of
weapons, manpower and train
ing.
The Dieppe raid was invalu-
able In its contribution to the
Allies fund of military wisdom.
1t tested their ability to land in
daylight on a hostile shore, to
maintain themselves throughout
day Of bitter fighting on q
hotly- contested beachhead and,
most important Of all, they
proved the ability of their air
forces to maintain over the mar
row seas the powerful cover OF
fighter planes without which the
invasion will be impossible.

Premier Stain realized during
his conversations with Prime
Minister Churchill that the Ger
man-held coast OF Europe does
not offer the ideal ground on
which to relieve the situation In
Russia.
On the other hand, changes In
the British high command In
Egypt clearly indicate the i'm
portance attributed to the oper-
ations which are expected to be-
gin in that area in the near fu-
ture. The Nazis are expected to
try to correlate their operations
In Southern Russia with an all
out attack in Egypt, Syria and
probably Turkey through the
Black Sea ports OF Samsun and
Trabzon. This strikes much
closer to Russia than the bloody
and necessarily prolonged oper-
ations which would be involved
in an Allied attempt to break
through the Nazi front In the
Low Countries and Norway.
Known as Fearless Fighter.
The appointment Of Gen. Sir
Harold r. l.. G. Alexander to
command the British forces in
the Near East is believed due
to Mr.. Churchill's conviction that
the Egyptian front will become
extremely active. He wants to
have in command there q man
who has proved himself more
energetic than previous COM
manders.
Such great Importance is now
attributed to Alexandria's de-
fenses that the British Prime
Minister did not bother to go

mind and degree of vigilance, and
his tactical scheme for dealing with
attacks.
Information on the last point may
be of particular Importance. The
wider the scale on which. the raid
is made the more likely it will be
to compel the enemy to disclose his
plan of defense by the countermoves
he makes. These may disclose the
location and strength of his counter
attack units in the immediate vicin-
ity and the plan and routes by
which these units are to be moved
up to the main line of resistance
when an attack comes.
Such information may enable our
aircraft to act effectively against
such units in future raids, or In
case OF an operation Of a more seri-
Gus nature.
Puzzle for Enemy.
1t should be remembered that In
big raid, such as the one at Dieppe
the enemy cannot be sure at the be-
ginning whether he has to deal with
a raid or the advance elements OF
an invasion in force.
When raid is made to obtain in

given to capture as many prisoners
as possible; the Interrogation OF

BY BENJAMIN PROULX,


Fifty-nine days after l escaped
from the Japanese prison camp In
Hong Kong I reached the Running
headquarters of Brig. Gen. Claire
Chennault's American Flying Tigers.
1 was broke and tired. Everything
I had made in 20 years of work in
the Far East was in the hands Of the
Japs or had been destroyed.
Gen. Chennault did not talk much.
He just shook hands with me and
gave me a uniform and put me to
work as an operational officer with
the AVG. He knew how I felt.
That's the way he is. That was why
the AVG boys would 60 into any
thing for him, including a skyful of
Japs In Mitsuibishis.
The secret of the FLYING Tigers
success against the Japs was very
simple. 1t was Chennault. He has
only one mission in life. That is
to beat the Japs, and he passed this
feeling on to his men,
At Running I met Col Robert L.
Scott, who flew with the AVG "just
SO he could see some action He
just took his plane up and machine
gunned hell out of a Jap airf1eld.
They were so surprised they didn't
even send any one up to get him.
Then Scott went back and took
pictures of it with his own amateur
movie camera. He is a camera
addict. 1t was at Running that
got the idea that this was the way
we are going to beat the Japs. I
mean through men like these, doing
things like these.
think If Gen. Chennault and his
forces now had only three or four
times the number Of fighters and
bombers the AVG had they could
pretty nearly drive the Japanese
out OF China. Because, if I saw
anything at Running, I saw that
the Japs were afraid of the AVG.
don't mean that the Japs didn't
have plenty of CUTS, it was Just that
they knew it wasn't good business to
tangle with the AVG.
From what saw of the Japs dur
ing my 20 years in the Far East
and during the fighting against
them at Hong Kong and Running
think we can beat them. But ]
don't think we can beat them very
easily by going at it the hard way
l mean by trying to fight them back
inch by inch and island by island
the way they came. I think we
should hit them in the heart-in

afraid of.

papers is frequently source Of in
formation of great value.
A raid for reconnaissance pur-
poses may be made both in Often
sive and defensive situations; in the
latter its purpose usually is to dis
cover whether the enemy is prepar-
ing to attack on that particular
front.
2. Destruction of specific enemy
defenses or installations. Such de-
struction may be carried out as an
incidental by-product of raid
made primarily for another purpose.
When a raid is made for the
definite purpose of ef1ecting stated
demolition, it will in general be di-
rected against an object of great
permanent value not easily replaced.
Thus the mere destruction of a gun
battery, which the enemy can re-
place in a day or two, would hardly
be worth the casualties 1t would cost.
On the other hand, the destruc-
ton OF a drydock, which the enemy
could not replace in less than, say,
six months, might for that length
Of time reduce and dslocate the
submarine activities of the enemy in
a given area, and effect a definite
saving Of merchant tonnage. OF

bridge or a causeway might be

Foes Forces Diverted.
3. Diversion of enemy forces
Since the effect OF a raid is but
temporary-raiding for purely di-
versionary purposes implies that
some other operation is in progress
or Immediately intended which will
be favored by the diversion effected
by the raid.
A raid against enemy communica-
tons may prove Of great value when
undertaken as part of a larger op-
Grafton.
4. Raids may serve other purposes,
such as harassing the enemy and
keeping him constantly on the alert,
and thus perhaps holding in a given
area larger enemy forces than the
total OF those employed as raiders;
breaking down the enemy's morale
by the need for constant vigilance,
and through his inability to come
to grips with the raiding parties;
the training OF troops In offensive
tactics and the inculcation in officers
and men Of the offensive spirit; and
perhaps raising Of the general mo-
rale Of our own people, or OF our
allies, or Of the peoples living within
territories occupied by the enemy.
All OF these purposes may be
served by raids. The distinction be-
tween a raid and an operation of a
more decisive nature is that the raid
is but temporary incursion into
enemy territory, the intention being
to withdraw the raiding force as
soon as its purposes have been ac-
complished.
II 1t proves possible for our forces
to conduct . continuous series Of
raids on the shores Of Western Eu-
rope, the problems thus presented to
the German high command, both
material and moral, may well become
very difficult of solution.

The collapse of the forces under
