Great Crowd Welcomes the Explorer
to Denmark's Capital
The civilized world, through it's rep
resentative, Denmark, paid honor to
DR.. Frederick A. Cook, the discoverer
of the north pole, when he arrived at
Copenhagen on the steamer Hans
Egede with proofs of his great exploit
The explorer was cheered by great
crowds as he set foot on land accom-.
panied by Prince Christian OF Den
mark and United States Minister
Egan. An immense throng followed
through the streets to the Metsorolog-
ical institute, where he made brief
speech.
Dr. Cook said he left at the north
pole an American flag and box con-
tanning documents, including brief
account of his trip and certain observa-
tons and data to bear out his claim.
Captain l. Larsen of the Hans Egede
said he had examined DIR. Cooks rec
ords and that he believed them to be
perfectly correct.
Dr. Cook declared with great en-
phasis:
81 have been to the north pole, and
/ have brought back the most exact
observations, absolutely proving my
statement.

Picked One General Course.
SHOULD an American first of all
place the stars and stripes at that COW
eted spot, there is not an American
citizen and there are millions OF us,
but what would feel little better and
little prouder of being an American:
and just that added increment of pride
and patriotism to millions would of
itself be alone worth ten times the
cost of attaining the pole.
Commander Peary almost three
years ago thus prohpetically outlined
his view of the value and interest at
tached to the achievement he now an
nounces.
The penetration of the frozen heart
of the arctic circle, the news of Peary's
feat following close upon the heels of
Dr. Cooks planting of the American
flag at the same spot, evoked enthus-
iastic plaudits in Washington.
Everywhere among army and navy
officers and scientists and official
Washington generally only words of
praise were spoken for Peary.
"Such wonderful achievements as
this make epochs In the history of the
world" declared Captain Veeder, in
charge of the United States naval OBJ
servatory, and l have no doubt that
this discovery will add immeasurably
to the sum of human knowledge"
Captain Veeder greeted the an
nouncement of Peary's attainment of
the pole with hearty "good!" and adj
ded that he was immensely pleased to
know that the American navy was at
least second in the race.
"Peary adds still another name to
the long list of American heroes" said
Professor Asaph Hall of the observa-
tory. Il did not know him personally.
but had come to have the greatest
admiration for him.
Those persons who had associated
with Peary here speak of him as man
! of wonderful capacity for doing things
and they instantly accepted the state
ment that he had discovered the pole.
The courses taken by Peary and by
DR.. Cook did not differ very materially,
according to Professor Henry Gannett,
the geographer.
"Peary's plan was to get up to the
northeastern cape of Grantland, where
he made his former headquarters be-
fore the ice closed in,' said Gannett
Il should say he took about the same
course this time. DR.. Cook started at
Etah or place near there and crossed
: over into Grinnell land to some point
on the north coast near where Peary
started"
Peary's attainment of the pole
crowns the work OF expeditions that he

ocean, exactly two years to a day be.
fore DIR. Cook is said to have reached
the pole. He regarded that expedition
as simplifying the attainment of the
pole by so per cent and his failure to
reach the pole then was attributed by
him to the fact that the winter was not
normal one.
Peary's last public appearance in
Washington was when President
Roosevelt presented to him on Dec. Is,
1906, the Hubbard medal of the Nation
al Geographic society. 1t was then
that Peary declared that man and the
Eskimo dog are the only two mechan,
isms that could meet all the contIil-
gencies of arctic work.
"For over three centuries the world
has dreamed of solving the mystery of
the north" said Commodore Peary on
that occasion, addressing President
Roosevelt. God willing, / hope that
your administration may yet see the
flag planted at the pole itself"
That's good" exclaimed Professor
Willis L. Moore. president of the Ma
tional Geographic society, when in
formed that Peary had reported that
he had reached the pole. 81 am glad
we can encore on the pole"

With the receipt of telgrams from
Peary in confirmation of his feat there
arose the possibility of clash be-

Engineer by Profession.
AS a means of livelihood he adopted
the profession of civil engineer, enter
ing the United States navy in that
capacity, Oct. 26, 1881. Three years
later he was appointed an assistant
engineer on the board which surveyed
the route of the Nicaraguan ship canal.
In these years his interest in the
mysterious north had not abated and
in 1886 he applied for leave OF alb
sence from the navy which would per-
NIT him to visit Greenland. His appli-
cation was granted, and in July of the
same year he began what proved to be
the first of seven expeditions to the
north, all attended with hardship and
some of them with actual suffering and
want, but persevered in with tenacity
of purpose that challenged the admira-
ton Of the world.
Beyond the daring of his exploits,
Peary's expeditions have had a scien-
tific and geographical usefulness that
has been generally recognized; and
he has won the medals of the Ameri-
can Geographical society, the Royal
Geographical society of London and
the Scottish Geographical society,
honors never accorded in equal num-
Der to any other American.
In the navy he won the title OF

president of the American Geographf-
cal society and Is a member of many
