Fire Insurance Expert Says
Honolulu Should Have Salt
Water Emergency System
FIRE TUG ESSENTIAL TO
PROTECT WATER FRONT
Sprinkler System Would Re-
duce Rates, and Gravityis
Preferable to Pumping

This Is what Clifford Comfy, super
intendent OF agents, representing
George H. Tyson, general fire insur-
ance agent, thinks Honolulu should
have in order to reduce fire hazard to
a degree compatible with that in other
cities OF this size:
A saltwater emergency pipeline
system. to be used only when a con-
flagration is imminent.
A fire tug to protect territorial
wIlaryes and shipping.
A gravity water system in place OF
the present battery of pumps.
Sprinkler installations in large
stores and office buildings.
Needed as Auxiliary.
Although Mr.. Comfy has been in
Honolulu only six days, having come
from San Francisco in the Manoa, he
sees the above fire protection features
as suitable and desirable auxiliary
to the new Seagraye motor apparatus
recently purchased by the city.
Il am here looking over the insur-
anee situation on the islands, says
Mr.. Cenlv today, and shall probably
go over to Hawaii some day this week.

GERMANS Plan
REVOLT AMONG
FRENCH TROOPS
(speeial cable to Nippon LID


TOXIC, Japan, March 27.-That the
native population, more particularly
the native troops in Indo- China, is
growing hourly more and more rest.
less toward the French authorities is
the gist of the press dispatches reach
ing here today. An open uprising is
expected at any moment.
According to the information avail
able here now several Germans are
desperately engaged in agitating
amongst the natives against the
French. How these Germans eluded
the French authorities and gained
safe entry into the French posses
sions is mystery yet to be solved.
The German sgitators at any rate
have been successful in their mission
as far as the native population Is con-
cerned and the conditions of uneasi-
ness now are reported to prevail there
with every indication pointing to-
ward an early rebellion. -

INTRODUCTORY.

In assuming the management of The Pulaskian, we do so with a full appreciation of the splen- did field that was opened up by it's founder and original publish CT, MT. John c. Small.
 The Pulaskian is essentially rural and suburban, and does not in any way appeal to the same clientele as that of the metropolitan dailies. The com munity interests of Pulaski Heights, now the Ninth ward of Little Rock, and the interests of the five thousand progressive citizens of the fertile farming lands of the county, will con- tinue to engage the attention of The Pulaskian. Your interests are our interests, and it shall ever be our aim to help you in every way possible, and bring into closer touch the agricultural communities of good old Pu- laski.
 There are to be no radical changes in the manner of con- ducting The Pulaskian, but we have in mind certain improve ments to be made from time to time that will make the paper even more popular than it has already become. The splendid corps of country correspondents will be continued and increased, until the whole county is cover ed. The affairs of everyday life on the farm do not inter- est the big dailies, but they do interest the readers of The Pu- laskian.
 We have been in the newspa- per business for many years, and we know the needs and the interests of our readers. When ever our friends from the coun- try are in the city, make the of flee of The Pulaskian, at 12312 West Fourth street, your head quarters. The latch-string is always hanging out. Pull it and come in and make yourself at home.

quate sewer system, an exten- sion of the water and gas serv- ice, and a double track street car line to Forest Park.
 The Ninth ward has two able representatives in the City Council, and in the fact that one of the new owners of The Pu- laskian is a member of that body from the First ward of Lit tie Rock leads me to predict that this community will have three friends in the council when their services are needed.
 I thank the readers of The Pulaskian for the patronage and courtesies they have extended me, and ask that they continue their support and friendship to the paper under it's new man. agement. Sincerely,
 JOHN c. SMALL.
