The devil dogs of Polynesia
their officers told me today, are.
Just as big and just as tough as
iHolt brethren from the mainland.
Their forte is jungle fighting —

pine scouts who gave heroic ac-
count of themselves on Bataan,

Kookles were trained at boot

to those In the United States. The

Dec. 7. 1941.
Maj. Herbert R. Nusbaum of
Los Angela*, battalion commander,
said most of the men are employ-*
ed on beach defenses and as
guides and scouts. Their pay IS
the same as other marines and
they get 30 per cent foreign duty
pay even though this always has
been their home. <\
"Ordinarily these Polynesians
are lazy, happy-go-lucky people
but when angered they become
maniacal and are plenty nasty
fighters," one officer said. “They
can crawl through the jungle like
u snake, know i.ll there is to know
about woodcraft, and are excellent
jungle fighters. We arc develop-
ing them Into snipers.”
Sgt. Slanava R. Sova'Aotasi was
first to join the battalion, its first
corporal and now Its first ser-
geant. Son of a royal family of
the islands, he Is tattooed from
knees to waist as a sign of royalty
and manhood.
Capt. Qulntln A. Bradley of
Santa Fe, N. M., said the greatest
difficulty with the troops Is nam-
ing them. Each man has but one
name which sefve* as family and
given name. For purposes of iden-
tification, each rookie has to
choose a new first name.

The battalion Is the only armed
force In the servlee which does
not wear shoe*. If they have shoes
when they enlist the shoes arc
taken away. Most of them never
wore shoes, however.
.The battalion was conceived by
marine officers before the United
States entered the war. Recruiting
was slow until the first few Poly-
nesian marines began walking the
streets wearing red-piped caps,
snrwy white shirts, red sashes and
khaki dresses with insignia on the

of formal audit of department
books which charged her with
responsbillty for shortages ot
$8,480 in public funds.
