British Sink 2 Italian Subs in East Indies LONDON, July 1. (U.B The admiralty claimed today that since the start of the war British forces have destroyed nine Italian sub- manes. An announcement said a report had just been received that two Italian U-boats had been destroyed in the East Indies.

The statement that the Italian submarines had been destroyed in the East Indies, did not mean in the far East, officials explained. The reference to the "East Indies" region might mean anywhere in-the Indian ocean area and the submarines probably were destroyed near the Red Sea port at Aden. Efcrlier the admirality had claimed that British light forces in a running battle with Italian destroyers at "extreme range," presumably in the Mediterrean, had sunk one Italian destroyer with- ont British casualties. The sinking report indicated that units of the Italian fleet were operating far from their home possibly to prey on British shipping and supplies of troops and munitions from wach outposts as Australia and New Zealand. The report at destruction of the destroyer said that three such Italian vessels had been spotted by Royal Air Force reconaissance planes, which in turn notified British light forces which proceeded to-the engagement.
