About a year ago Storm of Protest Is Expected When Negotiations Between Japs and Rusians Are Completed Masses Still Bitter. ST. PETEKSBUltQ, March 17. that a storm of protest against tho Russo-Japaneso alliance, hinted at by the blploruitlsM, is believed certain to como when tho compoltlou of tho negotiations aro announced. Teh foreign office today diplomat ically evaded any statement regard ing the actuar negotiations, but un official dtspat-ihea from Japan de clare that tho alliance has boon com pleted. These dispatches havo been suffi cient to ralso a popular clamor a gainst tho allianco that shows that any official x announcement hero Is cortian to bring troublo for the offi cers of tho foreign department. Tho masses of people, still bitter over their doteat in tho war in tho Far Bast, and holding a lasting en mity for tho Japanese are strongly opposed to any "understanding" be tween tho two powors. It is feared that the situation will bo seized upon by leaders of rovol t'onary porties to stir up a still fur ther discontent which may end In a new rctgn of terror.

"The bookless man does not un derstnnd his own loss. He does not know the leanness in which his mind "is kept by want of the food which he rejects." So also is a bookless town, a town without a library. Such a town can suffer its interests in God's universe to shrink until they reach no farther than its eyes can see and its ears can hear. There is nothing like a public library of good books to break for men the poor hobble of everyday sights and sounds by which men are tethered to a little worn round.
