North Pole. Cook claims to
have discovered it on April 21,
1908. ..Peary announces that he
discovered it and planted , the
Stars and Stripes on April , 6,
1909. Cook was more than a
year sending in' word of his dis
covery; Peary was able to an-
. nounce the ' discovery in five
months. Peary found no trace
of Cook's wanderings nor of
what he left at the Pole, but
Peary went by an entirely dif
ferent route. Both discoverers
are Americans. , k

people... '"' . '" ..'
Sverdrup announced that he
believed in the - .explorer's claim
when he read the early accounts
of the discovery. Yesterday he
was closeted with Cook for an
hour.' He went carefully over the
measuring, reckoning ana otner
data and questioned Cook closely.
Then he announced his unquali
fied indorsement of Cook's claim.
"I talked with Cook personally
again and I am' thoroughly
Convinced that he is honest in his
belief that he has discovered the
pole. . The only possible doubt in
Cook's mind is the correctness of
his observations. - It they are
correct ne reacnea xne poie. :
that he has is correct, but admits
that others are better' qualified
by reason of greater scientific
knowledge ' to draw conclusions
from the data than he.
Dook admits that he is an
'amateur scientist' - as compared
with some of , the others now
studying Arctic conditions.

Cook Claims to have discovered the
pole April 21, 1908, and has been more .
than a year reaching civilization again,
Peary claims, to have discovered- the
pole April 1, this year, and has been
but five monts getting back to civiliza
tion. It appears that doubt of Coo&
comes in the speed with which he made
his dash to the pole in 1908, about 19 '
miles a day; while ; doubt of Perry
having been at the pole comes in the
speed with which he made the return
trip. . '
