New York, Sept.20.-Dr. friedrich A.
Cook, of Brooklyn, who was with

the South Pole as chief surgeon, ex-
presses the opinion that Peary's latest
endeavor was by no means a failure
and the explorer has added material
to annals of science which will be
found invaluable, in fact, more valua-
BILE than the actual discovery of the
pole ITSELF"
"All this talk about the terrible dam
gers to be met before reaching the
pole is sheer rot" continued DR.. Cook.
"A man, all things taken into account.

as he Is in New York. There are no
fever germs there, no contagious dis
eases, no swamps no sewer gas, no
decaying vegetables, no rotting rags.
Everything is on ice. There is no dan
