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. Their fatigue uniform consists
of a- sort of black kilt with a bright

is "nature's own." A leather
belt carrying: a dagger on the side
holds the kilt, or lavalava, in place. A
bright red turban is the head dress.

wear with the lavalava a sleeveless

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.

'Washington.?Advised that the
navy department has in reserve
9.000,000 pounds of sugar, Secretary
Daniels intimated that he would release
one-third of the stock, or 3,000,- 1
000 pounds, for public use to relieve
the situation resulting fix>m a nationwide
shortage of the commodity. <
The present supply of the navy,
Secretary Daniels said was sufficient
for six months. 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."
