Enemy Attacks Light Com- pared With Marathon Over Empire Capital Monday Night.

By Ifnruld Fair Canadian Press staff Writer

LONDON. Aug. 2B —tWednesday) -——(CP Cable) —- Hitler's uignt raid- ers twlce sent sleepy Londoners to their shelter lzltc last nigh: and early today, dropped a few incen- diary bomb clusters but lailed to penetrate the main defences of the Etnplre capital.

The raiders ranged also over wide areas ill other parts of England and Wales at the erid of a day of “very slight." alr activity‘ m which three Nazi planes tvere tlowileti. No Royal Air Force loses were re- ported.

As far as central London was concerned it was Just another ser- ies of “nuisance? or “insomtlltfl raids, disturbing the Sllllllllfil‘ of millions, but achieving little wise.

Londoners. after their six-ilt>ul' siege ill shelters Monday night and Tuesday morning. took the new a- larms phlegmatlcally Thrre was less anti-aircraft activity‘ and few- er searchligilts lit. the sky. Nllin a y'all/hing householder refused to leave his snug bed.

The searchllght activity was pale beside the brilliant display; witness- ed 24 hours ago.

At. one time bomb flashes could be seen in the distance extending in a semi-circle and an enemv plane appeared over a rcd glow where apparently a fire started.

Incendiary bombs fell without damage in one area. but were known to have caused some fires in oth- er areas which were quickly extin- gulshed.

The first raid, lasting about 2- 1-2 hours. ended just before lnirl- night, and was followed by nilother of less than an hour's duration shortly after midnight.
