OBJECT ACHIEVED
RAID ON DIEPPE COMMENT OF CANADIANS (3 p.m.) MONTREAL, Oct. 15. With his arm in a sling and a D.S.O. ribbon on his chest, Lieut.-Colonel Dollard Menard, leading 17 Dieppe survivors, shyly faced 50 pressmen and described the bloody fight at Dieppe as an enlightening and necessary preliminary to the forthcoming permanent landing. Colonel Menard and others declared that German prisoners were treated honourably and the wounded with great kindness. The security precautions were excellent and the raid accomplished its object. Our tanks, planes, and naval craft timed the operations effectively. The men were ready to return to-morrow to finish the job. '
