~FITA-FITAS" OF TUTUILA.
The Nati0e Militia of the Amercan
Samoan Possession.
IFrom The Tribune Bureau.1

Washington. April 7.-One of the odd branches
of the United States governmental military body
Is that known the 'Ffta- Fitas." It serves as
q sort of militia guarding American property
and persons in the Samoan Islands, and is COM
parable with the constabulary of the Philippines
The organization is composed of young Samoans
who are models of physical endurance and fur
nish notable example Of military efficiency
discipline and obedience. There are some eighty
men in the organization at the headquarters at
the United States naval station Pago-Pago
serving under a non-cOmmissioned officer of
marines, Gunnery Sergeant Cox of that corps
a drill master and instructor who is most in
dustrious and indefatgabIe in his efforts to
maintain the merit of the command. The body
is, Of course, under the naval commandant at
Tutuila, and the guard has as a native COM
mander a chief of exalted rank, who wields
much influence among his people. In fact all Of
the officers of the "FIta-Fita are hereditary
native chiefs who are fitted physically for the
work and who are highly respected among the
natives. They are naturally the object of much
admiration on the part of their own people as oc-
Cupying positions OF distinction under the United
States government
The rank and file of the ''F1ta-Fitas'' are men
who have been thoroughly trained as solders
hey take much interest and deserved pride in
their achievements in the drill and in the care
pf their arms and equipment Not only that,
hey are good marksmen as well, possess much
Ekin in fencing and in manRuvres generally.
Most of the men are enlisted as landsmen, and
six OF them rate as coxswains in the navy
dheir headdress is a sort Of turban, and the
rest of their uniform consists Of what resembles
, half -sleeved shirtwaist, the insignia of rank
being on the sleeve. A short skirt coming to the
knee Is also worn. The men are unhampered by

the Moros recently attacked at Mount Dajo by
General Woods troops, they are outlaws pos

fearless They are organized under chiefs their
name meaning "red trousers" This garment Is
the distinguishing mark of the organization. The
ranks of the Pulajanes are recruited from Grim
inals who prefer this free life among the fast
nesses of the jungles on the hillsides to punish
ment and those who are forced to join them by
physical coercion.
Colored pieces OF cloth covered with strange
hieroglyphIcs play a part In their attacks upon
the Americans These having been blessed by
their "papas" or "pOpes," are considered by
them to have the same power Of resistance to

Facial Casts Which Depict Agony

The strenuous athlete OF the college cinder
path may well look long and ponder much
remarkable set OF facial casts Just completed By
DR.. r. TAFT Mckenzie. physical director Of the
University Of Pennsylvania With the object OF
showing how the violent efforts OF athletes to
cut fractions OF seconds from existing records
affect the physique. DR.. Mckenzie has made
series Of models which reveal with Hfelike ac-
curacy the effort with which the heroes Of the
cinder path win their victories DR.. NIcEenzie
based his facial models on Photographic snap
shots made at the time various athletic leaders
were breaking the tape or sUrmOuntins the
hurdles at Franklin Field and other athletic

The Lost Boy.

The discovery that an Italian child
whose parents believed him TO have
been kidnapped was kept three days
in the rooms OF the Brooklyn Society
for the Prevention Of Cruelty TO Chill
dren, while detectives searched high and
low throughout the city for him, dis
closes a curious failure in the police sys-
tenn. The society's managers seem to
have been blameless In the matter. The
child was found on the Brooklyn Bridge,
and taken to a police station full Of men
who had been specially instructed to
look for him. After the usual fOrmali-
ties he was sent to the society's refuge.
The superintendent OF this institution
would not expect the police to bring to
him a child for whom they were in search.
His failure to learn who the infant was
is entirely natural.
The police are in a different case. Their
plight would not be 80 humiliating il a
great hubbub had not been made over
the boys disappearance and rewards
had not been offered for his A
considerable number Of policemen had
been detailed specifically to the hunt,
and every patrOlman in the department
had heard the general order ~instructing
the force to watch for him. That he
was actually taken to a police station and
not recognized. and that no policeman
eve attempted to identify him as the
lost boy. is remarkable.
1t is apparent that some policeman
made a mistake. and he should be called
to account for it. The parents Of the
child endured three days Of unnecessary
anxiety because Of a stupid official blum
der, and this alone is sufficient cause
for an investigation Of the circumstances
responsible for il.

Cuba Settling Down"

The work of the commissioners in
Cuba wasdone quickly, but not hurriedly,
and completed in time to save the in
dustrial situation. The establishment
Of even temporary American control Of
Cuban affairs has resulted in a general
restoration Of financial and commercial
confidence, and merchandise IL already
moving in considerable volume. Money
is fairly easy and loans and advances are
being made to planters. The tobacco
crop, which hung on the verge OF disaster,
may be delayed, but unless the weather is
unfavorable it does nOt now seem prOba-
BILE that it will fall much, II any, below
the normal amount. The warriors OF the
tobacco areas are going back to work.
The largest sugar crop ever known
is now standing in the fields, and il the
weather is favorable and the labor sup
ply ample, the island will probably put
out the largest yield ever made.
More or less friction in the adjust
ment TO new conditions is inevitable.
1t is even probable that here and there
blows will be struck and perhaps shots
fired. Such incidents, however, should
nOt be taken too seriously. The course
pursued by the Cuban Administration
and the leaders Of the Moderate party
left the Liberals and rebels in the posi-
ton Of victOrs. Whether they were
victors otherwise or not, IL Is natural
that they should be disposed to some
exhibition Of ~jubilation, and equally
natural that such a display should gall
their opponents. 1t is also natural that
the Liberals, regarding themselves as
the victOrs, should wish and expect TO
enjoy the spoils Of victory and to see the
MOderates elected from office and Lib
erals substituted.
The confusion attendinE the process
Of disarming should have been avoided,
and might have been averted by q clearer
arrangements. The auxiliary forces en-
listed to support the Government have
been a particularly disturbing element.
There has been in some localities a pro-
found distrust On both sides, and both
rebels and militia have been reluctant
w klNV up bhCh Ahi ~ hOhk 10 luc1r
opponents retained their weapons. The
behavior OF the rebels has been, on the
whole. better than that Of the auxiliary
Government forces. All such trouble
is only temporary. 1t will subside and
its subsistence will be accelerated by the
distribution Of the American forces exer-
cising police power. Several serious po-
litical problems must arise before long.
At present there seems to be reasonable
ground for the belief that they will be
settled without serious disorder.
