WH|7ELAW IS
SCHEDULEDAS
DEP. To NOEL.
R()M0RS SAY.
Probable Appointee De-
clines to Confirm Persist
ent Story Circulating in
Political Circles.

Although no alinouncemPnt aa !:
come from the new head offhe de-
pariment, il was persis tently fumored
in political circles today that Bert d.
Noel, elected district attorney last
Tuesday, would name Dorsey White
law as his deputy.
- Mr. Whitelaw, who came into The
county legal department through APP
pointment from E. R. Simon, who
succeeded the late Galen Nichols as
istrict attorney, declined 10 confirm
the story. He stated thai any an
nouncement must come from M.
Noel and not from him.
"Even though my appointment was
practically certain, / could, in JUS
tice 10 The incoming head of The de-
department, say nothing about it,"
was his only comment.
Mr.. Whitelaw has been practicing
law in this city for some time and is
one of the best known Of The younger
members of The bar. He has been
serving as chief deputy to District A.
torney Simon for the past two months
and has capably filled he position.
It was also understood that when
Mr.. Noel is inaugurated into Office
he will radically change the policy
of The legal department in one par
ticular. AT present it is the ecustom
of the department to issue complaints
or warrants without investigation.
This system often leads TO an inius-
tice against falsely accused defen-
dant. is mol common custom in other
counties, and cumbers up the wheels
of The prosecutors office.
II is said that Mr.. Noel will re
verse this proceeding and will re-
quire an Investigation of the facts in
majority of cases before arrests or
complaints are issued.

The British have captured The fort
ress of Maubeuge and have pushed
eastward well beyond Avesnes on The
Maubeuge road south of town. They
have crossed the Scheldt in Flan-
ders on wide front north of Tour

continued N advance despite
strong machine resistance. :
The French M*e resumed their ad-
vance along The entire front.
American trucks moved about last
night in the zone behind the front
line with headlights burning. Low
visibility, officers believed, made It
unlikely The enemy would see the
lights. The fact thai the German
armistice delegation is within The
Allied lines has not slowed Amerei-
can operations.

WASHINGTON, Nov. General
March today announced that The
Ninety-first division, including Cali
fornia and Nevada troops, was fight :
ing in Flanders. AT last reports 1t
was on The heights of Ardenarde on
the Scheldt.
The British capture of Maubeuge
marks the severance of The last Ger
man artery 10 hat section of The
west front and makes it impossible
for The enemy to shift his force 10
meet new attack, according 10 Gen
eral March.
The Germans now occupy less than
25OO square miles in France.
General March said he American
First army had advanced thirty miles
in the last eight days.
General March characterized The
publication of The erroneous an
nouncemenl of an armisiice as "very
bad for The military program of the
United States." "Folf instance" he
said, "New York stevedores loadin2
essential supplies for The expedition
ary forces, stopped and did moi re-
iurn even The next day. Army food
shipments were thus delayed"
He said that The American army

Paris, Nov. 9.--The Petit Journal
says the German delegation was re-
ceived by Marshal Foch in the rail
road car where he hsa hk headquar-
ters. Marshal Forch read the terms
aloud, dwelling upon each word. The
concrete demands seemed 10 bring
10 the Germans the first full reaii-
zation of the extent of the German

ma terial difficulties standing in Inc
way of carrying out some quitee sec
ondary clauses. The Germans we've
housed last night at Rethondes, six
miles east of Compiegne and thirty
