NAVAL OFFICERS ARE
JOYFUL OVER NEWS

Washington, Sept. S.-Commander
Robert E. Peary was detached from
regular duty with the navy depart
special duty with the coast and geo
detic survey.
His explorations in the arctic regions
before that date had been conducted
under technical leaves of absence from
the navy department. This status was
satisfactory neither to Commander
Peary nor to his associates in the naval
corps of civil engineers, and it was be-
lieved that he could prosecute his Sci
entific investigation with a freer hand
If he were attached to M Of the gov
ernment's scientific bureaus and re-
lieved from the tedious form of naval
reports at set intervals, which had en-
~barrassed him in the past.
One point Of supreme Importance in
this report of his success, which has
attended his last effort to reach the
north pole. is that the statement must
remain absolutely unchallenged. In
all probability there can be no question
OF he fact, because Peary undoubtedly
Is able to confirm his statements by
credible white witnesses, who made up
the personnel Of his party.
Rear Admiral w. S. Cowles, chief Of
the bureau Of equipment Of the navy,
expressed his delight over the Peary
announcement.
1T was my understandings" said
Admiral Cowles, that when he left
here 1t was his hope to reach the pole
abou this time. Peary is a most de-
serving officer. He has pursued his
purpose under all sorts of adverse con-
ditions and only a nan Of his energy
and persistence could hope to win so
great an undertaking.
"Peary had an exceptionally fine
equipment. Very much money was
spent on his outfit, and he has been
able to take advantage OF all Of the
mistakes and successes of his prede-
cessors. 1t would be no great wonder
at all II he has at last achieved what
he set out to do The only fear is
that even II he had discovered the pole,
sufficient time has not elapsed in which
to get the news to the outside world.
I hope, however, it is true"
Admiral Cowles also said he believed
that DIR. Cook discovered the pole last
year.
"At any rate" he said, Il believe in
the interest Of fair play, adverse judy
ment should be suspended until it has
been demonstrated that he has not
made the discovery he Claims"

Copenhagen, Sept. 9.-COpenhagen
was electrified last night by the report
of Commander Peary's announcement
that he nae reached the north pole.
DR.. Cook was Immediately informed,
and said:
That is good news. I hope Peary
got to the pole. His observations and
reports on that region will confirm

1t is doubtful If history furnishes a
more episode han the break
ing of the news to DR.. Cook that Peary
had realized the goal of his life's am
bition nj repeated struggles. DIR. Cook
was seated at dinner, surrounded by
explorers and correspondents, in the
gilded ballroom OF the Tivoli casino.
Around his neck was hung a garland of
pink roses, according to the Scandi-
navian method of honoring heroes,
which the explorer wore blushingly and
speeches acclaiming him a been
given and repeated toasts to him drunk
with cheers.
Cool and Unmoved.,
Amid the scene a whisper went
around that Peary had planted the
stars and stripes at the pole. Cook
was perfectly o and unmoved. He
made a striking speech, in which he
paid high tribute. to the work of Sver-

cries he declared he largely owed his
success: to John r. Bradley. who had
financed the expedition; to 'the INTEL

the Eskimos who had assisted him
IN the preparations. and those who had
accompanied him. The whole story Of
the expedition" he said. has not como

Comments on News.
Asked II there was any probability
OF Peary's having found the tube con-
tanning his records, DIR. Cook replied,
I hope so. but that is. doubtful, on
accoun Of the drift" DR.. Cook added:
Commander Peary's route was several
hundred miles east Of mine. we are
rivals. Of course, but the pole is good
enough for two. That two men who get
to the pole along different plans" con-
tinued the explorer, should furnish
large additions to scientific knowledge.

the next 10 years. since every explorer

When DR.. Cook was conversing cas-
ually this morning with American
friends. Il possibility Of the denoue-
ment which electrified the world was
laughingly suggested. Dr.. Cook re-
marked: 1T is quite possible that
Peary will turn up now. He is about
due to get back If he carried out his
plans. We have always been friends
while, Of course. we are rivals in the
attempt to find the pole. but we have

to enter into a controversy with Com
