From Our Own Correspondent APIA, Sept. 25. mHE census of the population of X Western Samoa which was taken to day, after an interval of ten years, will be very interesting from several points of view. It probably will disclose a large increase in the native population, and also in the Euronesians (local born of mixed descent).
It will show some changes in the de nominational distribution; and the extent of illegitimate births as a result of the presence of 22,000 American forces in the Territory (of which some greatly exaggerated estimates were current).
