DIEPPE CASUALTIES
Canadian Totals
(Received September 6, 7 p.m.) LONDON, September 5. A message from Ottawa says that Adjutant-General Letson announced that tlie total number of Canadian soldiers who are known to have been killed in the raid on Dieppe is 170, and wounded. 626. .In addition a much larger unspecified number is listed as missing. Last night'German planes made a brief raid on the south coast and dropped .leaflets which people early today were seeking for souvenirs. The leaflet 'is a 'four-page pictorial folder claiming that the Dieppe raid was an attempt to open a' second front. The pictures are apparently intended to emphasize the failure of the expedition, but'th'ey show .nothing which was not printed in the British newspapers. One of Die pictures shows Tommies playing cards -and certainly not downhearted. '
