Best Order Maintained

Dospite the large number who inspected the Abegweit at Char- lottetown on Sunday there was not the slightest damage, which speaks w-ell for the 111811 sense of respon- |lbllity and orderliness of the citi- gens of Charlottetown and allparta o; Prince Edward Island.

Yesterday the completed new crew of Island men made practice docklngs and these were successful after the necessary adjustments had been made and today the ship is in splendid condition.

On this first crossing strait in active service, Captain 3R1}, Magulre was the master ‘m. w.c. Irving as chief officer and J_ S. Moore chief engineer. Th9 following Canadian National Railways officers made the trip:

no guarantee that any of the beaches will be properly secured and this is an absolute prerequis- ite of success, determining whether subsequent phases of the operation are to take the form of withdraw- al or of further follow-up.

4. A further point. which was

clearly shown is that the strength of the German defensive system in the coastal region confronting the assaulting troons gives them a problem not dissimilar to that of the Western Front in the last war. , 5. Arising out of this is the need for far more effective methods of supporting the troops unless it is "quite certain" that the defences which dominate the landing-places can be over-run by surprise night assault. The methods whereby effective support can be given are not considered to include night bombing. . . . .

Hughes-Ballet continued:

I consider the chief lessons of the operation are:

l, It was shown still to be pos- sible to achieve tactical surprise in a cross-channel operation of some magnitude.

2. The comparatively small naval forces which took part in the oper- ation sufflced to prevent the enemy from offering any surface opposi- tion whatever apart from that re- sulting from the chance encounter of No. 5 Group with German arm- ed trawlers.

8. If it should be necessary to attempt a frontal attack on strong- ly-delended enemy positions again it will he essential to provide far more effectivefmeans of support- ing troops. In this particular oper- ation I am satisfied that a capital ship could have been operated in the Dieppe area for the flrfl he or thrce hours of the operation without undue risk.

4. The enormous possibilities of this type of operation for bring- ing about a decisive battle were demonstrated.
