(Pi Italian authorities Indicated today that operations to close Britain's gate way to the Red Sea would be undertaken as a sequel to the conquest of British Somaliland and occupation of Berbera, its capital. Strongly Implying that attacks on Aden, on the Arabian coast of the narrow waterways link ing the Red sea and the Indian ocean, and on Islands In the strait of Bab El Mandeb were contemplated, authoritative fas cists said the Somaliland victory would enable their forces to "threaten the British outlet from the Red Sea." The occupation of Berbera, fall of which the British an nounced yesterday, was reported in today's Italian high com mand communique. Mussolini ordered the Duke of Aosta, commander of the Ital ian forces on this front, to lead them against new objectives after a period of rest. The British troops retreating from Berbera by sea left part of the city in flames, a communique said. On entire camel corps, de scribed as "well equipped and well armed" was said to have surrendered to the advancing Italians at Hargeisa, south of the port. The high command also re ported that a submarine of un known nationality had hit an Italian mine near the Dodecan ese Islands in the eastern Medi terranean. A large patch of oil on the sea led to the belief it had sunk. TAKES MAN'S LIFE Ashland, Ore., Aug. 20.
