DR. COOK LEAVES FOR HOME

Sydney, N. S., Sept. 1o-'This is my eighth visit to Sydney in connection
 with my husbands polar expeditions.
 said Mrs. Robert B. Peary upon ar- irving here tonight. Mrs. Peary said she thought her hus- band now ought to be satisfied and
 stay at home and get acquainted with his family.
 "He used to say,r she continued,
 'that a man should not go to the
 Arctic region after he was forty years of age, but the discovery of the pole was the only thing he had not suc- ceeded in. and he. would not discon- tinue his efforts at the age limit he
 set himself. On May 5. Commander
 Peary was 53 years old. Ills stay Tn Sydney will be very brief.
 Tonight Mrs. Peary received all the newspaper men in the reception room
 fo her hotel, and was questioned for ten minutes. All the two score mem- bers of the press gathered here were
 presented by Secretary Bridgman.
 Mrs. Peary said she had never heard
 the commander express the idea that
 the north pole region would be con-
 sidered among United States territory If 1t were discovered by an American.
 She said also that in the wireless mes sag she had received from her hus- band he had made no mention of dis- covering new land. She had no definite word when Commander Peary will arrive in Sydney.
 She Misses Husband. Married twenty-three years and lived but three," said Mrs. Peary with
 a sigh that expressed the years of waiting and anxiety. My son told me the other day" she continued. that IL
 would seem strange for dad to be at
 home. I am afraid 1t will seem the same to me as to the boy. MT. Peary
 has been home only one year In the last seven."
 Asked if she had any comment to
 story of his dash to the pole, Mrs Peary said:
 T think 1t goes to show that he was correct in his theory as to the, condi- ton of the ice above the highest north he reached in ig0e---thst Is S7 desrees six minutes. He always believed that conditions were about the same there
 and that there rwas hardly any per ceptible decrease of the temperature
 and also that the fee was better for travelling.
 "while MT. Peary naturally will be
 interested in anything that will fur
 tfier Arctic exploration and research,
 do not think he will take a personal
 part in any expedition, either to the Arctic or the Antarctic. Several years ago MT. Peary spoke before the Inter- national Polar Commission at Brussels on the furtherance of Antarctic work
 showing that he was interested as far
 back as that. have heard him say that as long as there Is a square inch
 of unexplored territory in the Arctic
 or the Antarctic, it challenges civilIza- ton and that we ought to know every
 part of the world"

 Copenhagen, Denmark. Sept 10.--Dr. Frererick A. Cook left Copenhagen this afternon on the first stage of his journey homeward. apparently happy and confident-and with the cheers of a great crowd ringing in his ears.
 Formal farewells were exchanged be- tween him and committees of the Geo graphical Society and the University of Copenhagen. As he departed the ex- plorer stood alone on the high bridge of the yacht Melchior which is taking him to Christiansand, raising his hat in response to the shouts of the specta- tors.
 The yacht will arrive at Christian7 sand tomorrow at noon, where tR steamship Oscar II will be ready V, steam for the United States as soon as pr. Cook boards her. Managing Director Cold of the Scandinavian American Steamship Company accom- panied pr. Cook. He said the oscar IT could reach New York Monday. Sept. 20. but that he thought 1t better to keep the steamer to schedule time and arrive Tuesday the 2lst.
 Before the gang-plank\ of the Mel choir was drawn up, there was a pleasant ceremony in the cabin at- tended by Minister Egan and Miss Egan, the rector of the University or Copenhagen and several geographers. Admiral Dekichelcu thanked pr. Cook for returning to the United States un- der the Danish flag.
 "Green-eyed envy and jealousy" the Admiral said, "are doing their en- venomed work. but we In Denmark believe in you absolutely"
 Cook Returns Thanks.
 q want to thank you," said pr. Cook in reply, flor the great honor that is mine in going home on a Dan- ish steamer. since l cannot reach nome on an American steamship or an exnedition vessel, 1t is fitting that I should go on a steamer of the land which has given me such happy days. You have made my return so happy that inc tortures of the past are for gotten. You have been my friends; vou have fought my battles. With a full heart I say farewell to the people of Denmark. said:
 "I am perfectly willing to put my records before the American coast and reodetic survey to be compared with those of Commander Peary, but I do not sec why l should ask for such a comparison first.
 Asked if he had any message for the nublic. pr. Cook replied:
 Don't you think that would be rath- AT nresumptious? All I want Is to get home to my wife and children and finish my work"
 The water front was crowded an ho,,r before the Melchior sailed. Short iv before o'clock three motor cars a,nnesred. pr. Cook and Commander SYerdrup. between whom a close friend shin has arisen. were in the first and pr.
