MAY FOR. ALDERMAN

First Ward Councilman Would Su.-
 coed Albert Anderson for
 Alderman in Ihird-Is Curtis Out?
 Even though the spring election next month will be a comparativelv tame one since there is no contest Tor mayor. there will nevertheless be several spirited contests in the va rsous wards.
 Alderman Albert Anderson of the first ward stated positively this morn ing that he will leave the council and will not seek reelection. Upon re- ceipt of this information Councilman Charles May, whose term in that ca pacity does not expire until April, 1918, announced that he would seek higher honors and will come forth as a candidate for alderman for the first ward.
 Councilman Charles Mueller, whose term expires next month, has an- rounced his candidacy for alderman in the third ward to succeed Valen- tine B. Chamberlain. who has de- clined to enter the race again. While c. F. Curtis could not be located this morning to anirm or deny the -rumor, it was currently reported that he will rot seek reelection to the council either as alderman or councilman. It has been intimated that his position in the state factory inspectors depart ment is such that his superiors do not want him connected with politics while holding that office. Last week, however, MT. Curtis was reported as having declared that he would be in the council race again this spring. William Wall, who succeeds the late Eliot Hale Porter as councilman, will he a candidate for election for term Of one year and Gardner c. Weld and Kenneth Hoffman have both an- ncunced their candidacy for seats in the council.

 Editor, New Br4tain Herald:
 So many messages have been re- ceived by those undertaking the relief work for our local Red Cross indicat- ing misunderstanding on the part of the public as to the conduct of this work that will ask you to permit me to use your columns to state the
 Our local chapter has been in exist ence since the autumn of 1914 and for two seasons has conducted relief work under 8 committee of ladies who vol unteer. their services and constituted the relief committee of the chapter.
 This year, owing largely to the number of other relief channels no one could be found willing to start under Red Cross. When, howe1er. the recsnt crisis developed and when weTrecei39d an urgent appeal from Washington to be up and doing. dur officers endeavored to meAt the situa- ton by persuading the Woman's Club to stand sponsor for the relief work and to engage to form . relief con4- mittee from among it's memhAEs.
 This the Woman's club has done, the officers of the chapter agreeing to find quarters for the work and fur nish the necessary funds for the pur- chase of materials, packing etc.
 Mrs. James H. Robinson and Mrs. Lawrence Mouat, IT,. are in, charge of the relief work and a room has been secured in Booths block where there is seamstress on duty from nine until i've. The misunderstanding seems to exist that this work Is now exclusively being carried on by members of the Womar's club. @
 Nothing could be further from the facts. They. have simply found 2 committee to have charge of the re- lief work in exactly the same way as 1t has been done heretofore and az It Is conducted elsewhere.
 Everyone willing to sew, cut out or do any other part of the work ia eagerly welcomed at the rooms or by applying there can take work to their own home. Members of other so- cieties, notably the Stanley Post wom- ans Relief Corps, beside numerous in- dividuals outside of the Woman's club are at work but this misunderstood. Ing seems so widespread that I feel the work may be much curtailed un- less 1t is corrected. Not only Is everyone earnestly invited to co-oper. ate i'm relief but those who are moi members are earnestly asked to sub- scribe and become members which can be very simply done by steppins into the New Britain National Bank and leaving your name and address
