RUSSIA

MT. Editor: Few people can gauge the deep significance and measure the far reaching influence of the reyolu- ton in Russia, unless they know
 something of the vastly intricate cir curnstances proceeding the event, and of the ethnology and geography of the nations. Less than four centuries ago the TSardom of Muscovy compa ssed only 37,000 square miles, ten thousand square miles smaller than the state of New York. Now it covers S,660, ,282 square miles, or nearly three times as large as the 48 United States, without
 Alaska. Beginning with a handful of people the population today is at least The Russian empire and the British empire were practically eontemporan- eaus in their expansion. In 1868 Great Britain was ''the tight little isle Of 121, = 900 square miles and a handful of peo- pie. Today it has 12,000, 900 square
 miles and 440,000,000 people.
 The recent growth ot the Russian do- nninion practically began in 1s4s when Peroffsky marched on Kazala and con quered the hordes of tribal folks on the northern shores of the Caspian. Then Lower Amor and Al M6squid. The Amoor Province, consisting of the whole of Northern Manchuria, was ab- sorbed in 1858. The Khanate of Tur- same year, Samarkand in 1868, Kuldga in 1870. Kiva and Bokhara in 1873, Khokand in 1875, Mery in 1884 and what remained of Turkomania in 1885, In short Russia has doubled her do-
 minions the last 6S years. Before the war she had absorbed the whole of Western Asia, except Persia, Asiatic Turkey and Afghanistan, and it looks as if she will add a few million more acres from Turkey including Constan- tinople, when the war ends.
 The Russian Empire may be divided into five parts: 1, Russia in Europe. including Poland and the Grand Duchy 4, Russian Central Asia; 5, Northern Manchuria- The heart of this vast empire is in the Russia in Europe, with Petrograd as the pump in the heart. European Russia with less than two millions of territory has nearly S4. 900. 900 of people. while the other nearly seven millions of square miles has 36,000,000 population.
 The great variety of races involves a diversity of languages and religion The government of such a dominion involved linguistic ability, that imposed upon the administration the higher ed ucation of an army of diplomats The population included Slays, Bulgarians, Czechs, Serbs, Swedes, Films, Karel- ians, Esthanions. Mordvins, Votyaks, Tchererisses, Lapps. Samoyeds. Let's, L1ithuanians, Armenians, Kurds, Per slams. Rumanians, Georgians, Min grelians, Lesghains. Tartars, Uzbegs. Bashkirs, Kfrghis, Turkomans, Kal- mucks, Buriats, Tunguses. MOngols, Gypsies, Yakuts, Koriak5, EsQuimaux. Kamchadals, Chinese. Japanese, Kore- ans and it will be a surprise to many to know that in the Baltic Province, Poland and South Russia there are two million Germans. under the new rule of the new Russian republic.

PosTMAsTERs UNDER CIVIL SER
 VICE.


 True to the announcement that the first. second and third class postnas- ters of the country would be placed April first. President Wilson has is sued tho order which brings it about This is a radical change but one which has long been needed and the only criticism that cah be offered in con- aection herewith is that he failed to take this action a.. a time when it would have included thereundef the postmasters in some of the largest cit ies in the country, where political alp pointr11ents have just been made for a period of four years. Those who have been busted were entitled to come under civil service just as much as those who have now been included thcfeunder.
 Some doubt has been expressed about the outcome of the move under the impression that. the senate will hencefortfi do it's utmost to block the confirmation of such names as are presented to 1t following the civil ser- vice tests unless they happen to be of the proper political complexion. That of course remains to be seen, but if there is the proper respect paid to the civil service tests and if the high stand man is selected for the appoint ment as he should be. rather than one of the several highest. who happens t6 come the nearest to satisfying the ad-' mfnistration in his politics. there is no ground for any interference on the part of the senate. The postof1ice pa tronage is one of the things which congress ought to be glad to get off of it's hands.
 What the outcome of the new move will be remains to be seen but the president thus far is deserving of com- mendation for the action which he has taken. It should result to the credit of the department and the country.

ATTORNEYS Want

STAY ON BENCH

: Honolulu's legal forces, it was re-
ported today, are mobilizing in what is
said to be a concerted effort to prevail
upon Chief Justice A. G. NJ. Robertson
of the supreme court to reconsider his
intention of resigning from the bench
If he has this intention in mind at the
present time. e.
1t is understood that prominent
members of the legal fraternity are
behind a movement to call a special
meeting. of the Hawaiian Bar Associ-
tation to take such action as may tend
to induce the chief justice from send
ing in his resignation, the motive being
that, because of his brilliant career on
the bench, his services as head of the
trio of justices are indispensable.
Chief Justice Robertson told the
Star.Bulletin today that, while he has
been considering resigning for some
time past, there is nothing definite as
regards his future actions. ~=r -
Statements expressing hope that
Chief Justice Robertson will not leave
the bench were heard in court circles
today. AS regards his successor,
should he resign, It was pointed out
that Associate Justice James L. Coke.
has an excellent chance of being ap-
pointed.

KUHIO TO FIGHT
PURPORTED Wills

Little doubt is expressed in local
legal circles that Delegate ]. K. Kala.
nianaole will contest the documents of
1909 and 1917 which purport to be the
wills of the late Queen Liliuokalani.
December 81 has been set as the day
on which Circuit Judge Ashford will
hear the petitions for the probate of
the instruments.
The 1917 will, it is understood, is to
be taken up first, and this presumably
will be subjected to contest both by
Kuhio and by the proponents of the
will of December 2, 1909. Attorneys
for John F. Colburn, named as exec.
utor in the document, will try to prove
the validity of the, document and the
validity of the signature which, it has
been contended, is not that of Liliuo-
kalani
Attorney L. Andrews, one Of coun-
sci for Cslburn, said today, that the
witnesses to the will and other persons
who witnessed the signing of the docu.
ment, will be called. Princess" Their
esa Belliveau who, with her son and
daughter, is given practically two
thirds of the estate in the 1917 docu-
ment, and physicians may also be
called. The attorneys also intend to
call witnesses to prove that the queen
was mentally. competent to execute and
sign the instrument.

DOUBLE TRACKING
OF king Street
TO START SOON

Work which is to be begun shortly
by the Honolulu Rapid Transit & Land
Co. will, when completed, leave King
street double tracked from the Ka-
hauih boundary of the military re-
servation at Fort Shafter to McCully
street, two blocks waikiki of Pawaa
junction.
Within a few days the company will
begin. double tracking from Kawaia-
hao street, where the present double
track ends, to Alapai street, and the
rest of the work will be done just as
quickly as the necessary equipment
arrives here from the mainland. No
estimate Of the time it will take to
complete the work can be given by
the company at this time, owing to
present shipping facilities and the diff
ficulty in having orders for equipment
filled on the mainland.
At present the double tracking on
King street extends from the cane
fields Just eva of the Palama fire sta
ton to Kawaiahao street, near Ka-
waiahao church. Although no definite
plans have been formulated yet, it is
expected that, some time in the near
future the company will double
track from McCully street across the
duck ponds ana out along Kalakaua
avenue to the Waikiki terminus at the
end of Kapiolani park.
The 10 new cars which were order
ed by the company from a mainland
concern some months ago will prob
ably not arrive here until next April.
These cars will be used to relieve con-
gestion on. King street, especially
In the morning and late afternoons,
when, traffic is heavy, and on holi-
days. Some of the cars now on King
street will be transferred to Hotel
street.
