Mountain Spearmen Help
Rout laps From ~ Luzon

NORTHERN LUZON, July TO-
W.H-A mountain tribe of Spearmen
Who have learned a fierce hatred
of the Japanese are aiding the U.
Sixth Division in wiping out the
last organized japanese force in
the Kiangan-Bontoc area of North
ern LuZon.
Known as the Ifugao tribe, these
spearmen now are friendly to white
men for the first time in their his.
tory. This friendliness springs from
their hatred of the Japanese, who
raped their women.
Although the Ifugaos migrated to
the PHILIPPINES from Japan or Asia
between 1000 and 1000 years ago,
they never have intermarried. The
second Malayan invasion of South.
ern LCzon drove them into the hills
several centuries ago and they have
remained there.
Under the strange Ifugao mar.
rlage~ custom, young males are en-.
couraged to become familiar with
tribal ''oologs,'' or marriageable
girls. They don't actually marry un.
til the girl becomes pregnant, but
tribal laws forbid divorce and in
fidelity is punished by behead
ing.
The Ifugao is superior physically
among Filipino tribes and is frs
|class fighting man, as the Japa
nese have learned. They have
a well-developed chest with mus
cular arms and legs, which one
American officer said would make
them great mile runners.
They not only are fighting with
the Sixth Division, but also with
Col. Russell w. Volckman's famed
Lrzon guerrillas. They are gooo
scouts and foragers and are adept
at encircling the Japanese. They
attack with five-foot spears, tipped
with razor-edged hand-forged heads.
The Ifugaos also are proficien,
in the use of Bolos and the bow
and arrow, but the spear is their
favorite weapon. The Americans al
one time furnished them some ri
files, but they Immediately shot ur
their ammunition in childish glee
The army decided then that guns
were not for the Ifugao.
The men have keen sense O.
smell and can detect humans ane
animals at hundreds of feet. They
/ wear their hair long and dress only
in loin cloths, although they keeI
4 their women fully clothed.
Every autumn the tribesmer
hold spear-throwing contest
They respect courage and have
some head-hunting instincts. 4
