Really Found the Pole--Mrs Robert E.
Peay Bitter in Criticism.

All the worud has united today to
oOngratulating America in the achieve
ment OF DR.. Frederick A. Cook for the
discovery of the North Pole
But explorers and scientific men, even
those who are most friendly to DR.. Cook
declare he should have conclusive
proofs OF his discovery. They must be
shown"
A few say that IL DR.. Cook did stand
on the spot men have sought for 1000
years it was a sporting achievement
and not scientific exploration. A very
few decline to place credence in the an
nouncement. and these believe DR., Cook
vas mistaken in his reckoning or is
laboring under a mental delusion.
Men who know him, and these in
clude some Of the worlds best known
explorers. decline TO believe that he
would willfully deceive the world about
his achievements. and these hope for his
sake that he will be able to prove mis-
claim.
That IL would be almost impossible TO
return from the Pole after he reached
il is one point on which the disbeiievers
rally. His compass would be useless,
they say. and only by rare chance could

proved by DR.. Cook. Following are ome
