I'D The north pole should be at

geographical knowledge, as a matter of
prestige, 1t is a prize worth the utmost
effort. The struggle for 1t has been
going on nearly four centuries. Its at

boosted civilization and our alleged
abilities.
"(2) The only practical route to the
pole is the Smith sound route, Offering as

to return and a practicable and we'll

"(3) The attainment of the pole is
peculiarly an object for American pride
and patriotism. The North American
world segment is our home, our natural,
ultimate destiny. Its bounds are the
isthmus and the pole. We must find
and mark the pole. More than this, we
want the pole because 1t is the pole,
and because you, and we, and practical
ly all the other civilized nations of the
world, have been trying for 1t for nearly
four centuries, and have not got it yet,
and because to win 1t will be the crown
of those four centuries of effort and sac

TO REACH THE POLE.
PEARY OUTLINES his PLAN FOR
ATTAINING THAT END.
Gives Several Reasons for Past Fail
uTes and Why the Pole Should Be
Located by an American
Explorer.

New York-Commander Peary n
nouneed 10 the g~eographers Of all the
world, when they were gathered In New
YORK city for their International con
gress the other day, that he is going u
make another dash for the north pole,
using a ship he is having specially built
for the purpose.
Very few arctic OF antarctic expeditions
have been made in specially built vessels,
and that is why so many have failed,
often light craft never intended for ice
navigation have been used by explorers.
only two ships have been specially con-
structed for polar work within recent
yesrs-Nansen's Fran and the Discoy-
cry, now in the Antarctic sea with the
National British Expedition"
Most men experienced in arctic ex-
ploration believe that Commander Peary
has a good chance OF reaching the north
pole, or at all events getting nearer TO it
than any man has yet gone. His won
aertul perseverance, eliminating in his
reaching the most nOrtherly point Of
Greenland, has greatly Impressed them.
At this meeting Of the Royal Geo.

probably his briefest and best summary
