BY WILLIAM D. DICKINSON United Press Staff Correspondent

London. Nov. l6.-UP)-Gen Henri Honore Giraud, assuming com- mand of French forces in North Africa. announced today that a great French Colonial army would join the Allies in "reaping final vic tory.
 Giraud's appointment by Admiral Jean Francois Darlan. former con- mander of all French armed forces under the Vichy regime, apparently was the last straw for Marshal Henri Petain, Vichy chief of government, announced, according to Havas, French news agency, that Darlan had been deprived of all his func- tions. including his military com mand.
 Tn a statement broadcast to Frenchmen throughout the empire, Petain was quoted as asserting that Darlan, by agreeing to the appoint ment Of Giraud as commander Of French Colonial forces resisting the Axis. had placed himself outside the French national community"
 British diplomatic and political ad- yisers have arrived in North Africa, 1t was learned here, to assist in clarifying political questions arising from the complicated status of the Vichy regime now openly under Axis domination, and the French in North Africa who have agreed to fight the Axis.
 What Darlan's final status would be remained unciear. When the Americans announced that they had come to save North Africa and asked Vlehy's leaders to join them they were put in a difficult position when Darlan appeared in Algeria. He is not popular with the fighting French forces Of Gen. Charles De Gaulle.
 Petain's banishment Of Darlan was couched in heated terms. The mar shal accused Darlan of insinuationS which made him appear "contemp- tible".
 Admiral Darlan dared to assert in his declaration that l am faced with the Impossibility of making known my thoughts to the French people and alleges he is acting m my name" Petain's statement said.
 "I am not a man to give way to compulsion. To insinuate the con- trary is to make me appear con" temptible.
 At the very moment Africa was attacked l empowered Admiral Dar- Ian with the defense of French soy- ereignty, Of which l am the trustee. As soon as the first engagement took place the Admiral did not hesitate to enter into relations with the at- taeklng powers.
 By giving 6 premature order to cease hoStilitelS he disorganized re- sistanee and dislntegrated the nor ale of the troops"

Peru, Ind, Nov. 16-(UP) - Mo- dec, the will O the wisp elephant who eluded pursuers along the Wabash river for four days, feasted on hay and bran today in the famil- far stall that is her home. She trad- ed freedom for bread.
 Terrell Jacobs, her trainer and leader of the posse which lured Modoc into her truck with bread last night, said she was ill marvel ouS condition" despite exposure and frequent dips in the Wabash and Salamonie rivers.
 Modoc was tired and hungry. She fled Wednesday when dogs parked at her outside the Wabash high school gymnasium where she was appearing in a circus performance. She terrified pedestrians, crashed through a drug store and numbered into the open country.
 Jacobs tried repeatedly to lure Modoc within range of a chain but the jittery pachyderm broke away each time despite the trumpeted in- vitations of her elephantine girl friends, Empress and Judy.
 Raymond Duke of Ora, Ind, Har- " Haag of Peru and Ezra Corona Smith, of Medora, Ind, all trainers, joined Jacobs for the final effort yesterday Smith is a giant negro, experienced in handling outlaw elephants.
 With state police holding onlook- CTS back, Modoc approached Judy and the two twined trunks. The trainers threw Modoc ten loaveS of bread, which she downed in ten gulps, and followed Judy to the truck.
 Then she broke away and ambled back into the field.
 Sheriff Marvin Odle of Hunting ton dashed away and returned with 20 more loaves of bread. The pro- cedure was repeated. Tired of teas- ing and tired of liberty, Modoc wearily rumbled up the runway into the truck and Judy followed
 She heard that motor running and she knew it was her truck" Jacobs said, she's just been scared. She's tickled to death to be home" "

 A dispatch of the Vichy Havas News Agency reported that Vichy authorities had made the Toulon naval base area on the French Mediterranean coast a forbidden zone and that entry would be per- mitted only to persons who could plead grave illness or death of close relatives.
 Gen. De Tasslgny Prisoner
 Vichy, quoted by the German ra- dio, confirmed that Gen. De Lattre De Tassigny of the French army had been arrested in the newly-oc- cupied part of France for trying to organize resistance to the Germans and said he would be court-msr- tialed.
 Vichy broadcast repeatedly to Africa appeals by Marshal Henri Philippe Petain to French forces not to obey Gen. Henri Hon0re Giraud, new commander Of the French African forces under Adm. Jean Francois Darian.
 The failure of the German air force to appear in the western Euro pean zone indicated desperate at- tempts to get endorsements to the Mediterranean. including Italy.
