C. O.P. ALDERMEN
 OPPOSE TRANSFER
No Authorization for Over Expenditure of SI85 By
 Town Clerk

Three Republican aldermen charged last night that the city charter had been violated by the town clerk and refused to vote for a $185 transfer recommended by the board of finance. They claimed that the money had been spent in excess of appropriations and without per- mission from the aldermanic board.
 The transfer involved $185, and the board of finance asked that this money be taken from the item for carriage of voting machines and placed in the item for preparing voting places for the election.
 Didn't the town clerk violate the lay by spending this money for preparing voting placeS?." asked Alderman George L. Kingston. "St1ouldn't she have come to us for permission before contracting to spend any city money not appro- priated?"
 The transfer, in 8 list of many such recommendations, was referred to committee, which reported back that the whole list should be ap- proved.
 Alderman Kingston and Aldermen Burton Walker and Joseph Reiner voted ives" for the rest of the list but mo" for the town clerks trans fer. The vote was 12-3 in favor of approving all transfers, the other four Republicans joining with the eight Democrats in voting affirma- lively.
 T won't vote for that transfer" said Mir. Kingston. Its plain violation of the city charter"
 Aldermen Walker and Reiner ex- pressed similar sentiments as they r0&ed

worth millions in her own right, who
left the bathrooms of high society
and the courts of kings in the World
War to scrub hospital floors and
nurse French soldiers, undertook to-
day-as her "bit" in Europe's new
war-the task of establishing can
teens for anti-aircraft troops de-
Tending Paris.
Socially prominent Mrs. Larz
Anderson, So, world traveller and
philanthropist, author and play

permit from the United States
State Department and authorization
from the French government to raise
funds for canteens for the watchers

The French Army, she said, "does
not provide canteens for these posts
where soldiers live in the crudest
of barracks, huts and dugouts. The
one luxury of a base at present Is
an old American stove which served
in the last war, and 20 years have
not improved it's heating facilities"
There are, she added, about 500 air
defense posts around Paris.
Task Not New for Her.
The work of organizing canteens
is nothing new to Mrs. Anderson.
More than two decades ago, in
Washington, she organized and
equipped the first for the United
States Army. Scores of others set up
in France were patterned after it.
Refusing to take a vicarious part
in that war, Mrs. Anderson aban-
