JAP COMMENT
Premier Kato Quoted As Speaking of Russia in Very Friendly Terms Following Treaty.
By Tho Assnclnteh Prnss-

By The Associated Press.
 Tokio, Feb. 25.-Commenting on the ratification of the Russo Japan csc agreement by the privy council today, Premier Kato is quoted by the Japanese press as follows:
 "It is a pity that such a vast country as Russia should have been excluded from the worlds inter- course for so many years. Conclu- sion of the Russian Japanese treaty therefore, must be regarded as an achievement worthy of congratula- tion, not only from the viewpoint of the two countries, but from the outlook of mankind in general.
 Between the two countries there was pending for a long time ques- tions of serious import, but thanks to sincere efforts all these have been settled or have been brought to the point of settlement.
 Ut is to be hoped by the peoples of the two countries that the agree- ment now ratified will be used for the promotion of mutual friendships and for such purposes this govern ment is prepared 10 employ it's best efforts"
 The exchange of ratifications eS- tablishing diplomatic relations be- tween the two countries. will take place at Picking tomorrow.

 Bremen to Eat
 Final plans have been made by the members of Plainville Hose Co. No. for the supper and social to- morrow evening in the firemen's rooms on Pierce street. Following business meeting, the members will eat the results of the culinary attempts of James Boswell and Will liam Cunningham, Reports of vari- ous projects completed by the mem bers of the company in improving the station will be read.
 Fire Alarm System
 With the contemplated shutting down completely of the Bristol Mfg. Co. plant on West Main street, Plainville will be left without means of signalling when fire breaks out. When the steam at the plant is shut off. the town will be forced to turn 10 the Trumbull Flee tric Mfg, Co. for help until some other arrangements can be made. Though many of the people are not in favor of having an alarm sent for from the Trumbull plant because of it's situation in the east end of the town, consideration of a siren alarm Is thought to be inadvisable.
 The best solution of the problem which now confronts the town, is the installation of an individual bell system in all the hrcmen's homes. This, it is understood, could be operated from the telephone office end will be the means of notifying ali the mon of an alarm. Some other main signal would be re- quired, however, 10 send out the general alarm to notify the 1iremen who are not at home. This prob- lem will probably be taken up at the meeting of the fire company to- morrow night and a general discus sion of it will be held.
