CAIRO,
February
27:
(CP)
British
headquarters
announced
today
that
the
drive
of
Imperial
forces
in
Italian
Somaliland
leading
to
the
capture
of
the
capital
city
of
Mogadiscio
had
brought
the
surrender
of
4arge
Fascist
forces
which
were
evidently
demoralized.
Several
thousand
prisoners
have
already
been
counted
and
many
more
are
straggling
into
British
outposts.
Large
quantities
of
arms
and
war
supplies
were
also
captured.
During
their
advance
the
British
forees
freed
two
hundred
Allied
seamen
who
had
been
heldlfbr
months
as
prisoners
of
war
at
Merca.
The
capturje
of
Mogadiscio,
a
city
of
35,000
persons,
brings
allof
Italian
Somaliland
completely
into
British
hands,
Jthe
Italians
losing
their
last
possession
bordering
on
the
Indian
Ocean.
.Italian
Somaliland
comprises
:about
300,000
square
miles
of
territory.
The
Italian
propaganda
machine
endeavoured
today
to
conceal
the
fall
of
Mogadiscio
although
admitting
that
Fascist
forces
were
falling
back
on
the
city.
