NOT CALL FOR ACTIVE SER
VICE At FRONT.

Red Cross officials, through the To-
cal chapter. are taking pains to make
it clear to volunteers that Red Cross
service does not mean service away
from home.
The doctors and nurses, who COM
prise the professional organization of
the Red Cross. are detailed for service
with the fighting forces and are sub
ject to the military laws and disci-
pine.
Others Stay at Home.
But the civilian volunteers, men and
women, whom the Red Cross needs in
great numbers now, remain at their
homes taking charge of the collection
and transportation Of supplies and
manufacture of great quantities of ban
dages and garments by home needle

Neither membership in the Red

PETAIN HAS
HEAVY TASK
NEW DIRECTOR OF FRENCH
ARMIES ADMINISTERS MA
TioN's RESOURCES.

! Paris, May 10.-The title just con.
ferred upon General Petain, that OF
directing chief Of war operations is
new one, which never existed be-
fore in the war. On the first day of
mobilization the chief of the general
staff went to the front with the COM
mander in chief; at the ministry Of
war only few officers and depart.
'nection between the front and the
rear The entire direction of army af-
fairs in short, had been taken with
General Joffre to the front Matters
remained pretty nearly in that condi.
ton until very recently, when 1t was
felt that there should be in Paris, close
to the council Of ministers and the
council OF war. powerful organism
capable Of coordinating efforts at the
front and at the rear-English and
French efforts, French and Italian eff
forts This new organism has just
been created, and General Petain is to
be its head.
General Nivelle Is and remains the
commander in chief of the troops
fighting at the front-that is. he d.
reefs and executes the operations OF
the war on the Somme and the Aisne,
in Champagne, Lorraine, and Alsace.
But his authority does not extend to
the armies in preparation or being
formed in the interior: 1t does not ex-
tend to the English or Italian army.
He is. in word, the great executive
chief of thewar operations; he Is not
the great directing chief of the war
operations.
The latter will be General Petain.
1t is he who will prepare great oper-
atoms, coordinate them with English.
