ALARM IN BERLIN
NO EXPLOSIONS HEARD. LONDON, August 14. The Berlin correspondent of the Associated Press of Great Britain says an air-raid alarm was sounded at 1.35 a.m., and the all-clear signal was given at 2.22 a.m. No explosions or anti-air-craft fire were heard. Geneva reports that two air-raid alarms were sounded in that city. On both occasions unidentified foreign planes were reported overhead. A Berlin message says that Nazi quarters state that the air alarm early this morning was caused by a number of scattered British planes which were reported to have reached Potsdam and then to have been turned back by anti-aircraft fire. No bombs were dropped, they stated.
