FAQg TWO INTERESTING DOPE | ON SAIMOAN ISLANDS America's Little Known Possessions in Pacific and the Natives. Should the United States acquire the island of Yap, that island will not be an isolated example of American proprietorship in the Pacific, says a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic Society. Everybody knows of the Philippines, but not so many folk know of this country's other South Sea insular possessions, small but numerous. Those include Guam, Wake, Midway, and some seventy-five of the Guano Islands, not to mention a portion of the Samoa group. In the American Samoan islanls are to be found America's South Sou soldiers, who are described in a communication to the society by Lorena ^iaclntyre Quinn, as follows: When tliinking of the insular possessions of the United States, we are apt to lose sight of the fact that our flag flies over a group of six tiny islands in the South Seas, comprising what is known as American Samoa. Here our government maintains a naval station on the Island of Tutuila, at Pago Pago, one of the first and safest harbors in the South Seas. In those troubled times it is well to remember the strategic value of the naval station at Pago Pago, with its magnificant harbor and its situaton at the cross roads of the Pacific trade routes from North America to Australia and from Panama and South America to the Orient. Fita-Fitas American Samoa is under the supervision of the Navy Department of the United States. The naval officers stationed at Pago Pago from the governing body of Tutuila and the five other small islands. The yeomen among the bluejackets are valuable office assistants. The Fita-Fitas, as tlie native soldiers are called, constitute an important unit in the government of American Samoa. It would be hard to find a more picturesque body of men than these, nur South Sea Island soldiers. Tall, broad-shouldered, handsome in features, possessing: splendid poise, they are admirable types of their race.

A leather belt carrying: a dagger on the side holds the kilt, or lavalava, in place. A bright red turban is the head dress. For dress uniform the Fita-Fitas wear with the lavalava a sleeveless I white undervest, similar to the X. V. Z. or A. B. C. garments graphically described in the advertising sections of magizines. Municipal Duties. When the native soldiers were first taken into the service of the United States, a less abbreviated and more convential uniform was provided them, with the result that they were constantly suffering from colds; so there was a wise reveision to a uniform on the lines of their native dress The Fita-Fitas have municipal as well a> military duties, trey act as policemen on and out about Pago Pago, guard all prisiners in the Pago Pago jail, and frequently are called upon to settle fights at cricket games between rival native villages. The last named duty is sometimes a severe test for the soldier as an arbitrator, especially when his own village is involved in the controversy. Like Ceremony. When the governor of American Samoa makes a tour of inspection of Tutuila, he is always accompanied by native soldiers. The Fita-Fitas selected to be the orderly on such occasions holds a proud position among his friends. The official party is received with great dignity and formality by the chiefs of the villages on these tours, as the Samoans delight in ceremony and speechmaking. The reception accorded the Fita-Fitas by the pretty, vivacious Samoan belles of the different villages is always ejeeedingly cordial. These maidens with bronze complexions, are as susceptible to the fascinations of the lava-lava uniform as their sisters in America are partial to khaki and brass buttons. The principal feature of the Fita Fita organization is the band. A little more than a decade ago the natives of American Samoa had never seen a brass instrument, but with infinite patience a bandmaster of the United States Navy eventually taught some of the Fita-Fitas how to play, with the result that today he reperoire of the Fita-Fita band covers a wide range of classical and papular airs. ?o Subscribe to The Herald. o Habitual Constipation Cured in 14 to 21 Days , "LAX-EOS WITH PEPSIN" is a speciallyprepared Syrup Tonic-Laxative for Habitual ' Constipation.

As only a three months surplus usually is kept on hand, Mr. Daniels indicated it would he unjust to retain more than that amount now when the entire country is experiencing a shortage. The war department, however, unlike the navy, found that its supply was running low, the supply being estimated as barely sufficient to last until December 15. Quartermaster General Ragers, accordingly wired all zone supply officers that sales of sugar to any one person in the service must be limited to not more than ! six pounds per month and not more | - ii f - 1a than 24 pounds per monui ior eat:us family. Secretary Daniels also said he has sent a message to all ships and stations of the navy calling for strict economy in the use of sugar as waste fulness by the navy even of its abundant supply would "not only bo unpardonable but v/ould reflect discredit upon the navy itself." o ....
