ALEXANDRIA BOMBED
FIRST TIME FOR WEEK PEOPLE REMAIN CALM EFFECTIVE BRITISH ATTACKS (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received August 23, 3.15 p.m.) ALEXANDRIA, August 22 Alexandria was bombed for the first time for a week. The raid lasted half-an-hour, and slight damage was done, but there were no casualties. The anxiety aroused by the early raids has entirely disappeared. People are returning to the city at the rate of 500 daily. The fact that the raids are more infrequent is proof of the effectiveness of the British attacks on Italian bases.
