Lecture at University Club
of Special Interest to Sci
entiStS of Washington.

When Rear Admiral c. NJ. Chester
delivers his address tomorrow night be-
fore the University Club. washington
scientists at large will have their first
opportunity Of knowing something real
definite about the Peary records.
Admiral Chester was a member Of the
investigation committee which decided
that Peary really reached the Pole. As
a personal friend of the explorer, he
entertained him at his home during the
recent visit. ard probably got the best
look at the records of any of the mem
bers of tie committee.
The National Geographic Society in
tends to send a committee to Copen-
hagen along with the Cook records, and
has asked permission of the Danish Uni
versity to examine them at the same
time they are examined by the Danes.
A cabIeEram was sent yesterday asking
permission to be present. President VII
hs L. Moore has appointed as members
of the committee Henry Gannett. G. NJ
Chester. o. H Tittman, and Prof. J. II
Gore. Of the George Washington Uni
1t was stated today by officers of the
society that Or. Cook cannot be hon
cred until his data has been examined.
and it is shown that he accomplished
the trip to the Pole. While il IS not
disputed by the society that he DID
reach the Pole, Yet, they are from Mis-
souri, and have TO be shown

NEGRO PUT ON'LOWER
PLANE BY DIPLOMAT
After Careful Study in America, German Declare Edu-
cation Isn't Helping Race. and That Whites
Must Ever Boss and Lead.

LONDON, Nov 5-Herr Dernburg.
German secretary for the colonies. who
has just returned here from an extend
ed tour Of the United States. today gave
an interview, in which he declared the
negro race in America could never equal
the white race, and that the Aryans
must ever boss and lead the blacks.
The object Of my visit TO America"
he said, was purely for economical re-
search. ] wanted to study the employ
ment of black labor in the South for
the purpose Of applying the same kind
Of labor to the cottOn-grOwing industry
in German East Africa

problem in the South not so much as
a black. but as a yellow problem, for
it is only the partially white 'niggers,'

or mulattoes, who cause trouble or at
tempt TO progress beyond their station
Long and careful study of the entire
question, both in America and in the
German colonies in Africa make me ex-
tremely doubtful if the education of
the black viii result in ultimate good,
either for the black or the white race.
Anyway, We do net ware an educated
proletariat In our German colonies.
My ideal of proper solution of the
method of handling black labor is that
this kind Of labor should be ruled alb
solutely by the whites, with corpora
punishment. If it is felt TO be necessary.
But Justice of an absolutely impartial
kind must be melted out to The negroes
