Peary has formally notified the National

its offer to examine and pass upon rec

came to Prof. Willis l.. Moore, president
of the society, in a telegram from Com
mander Peary in New York, reading as
follows:
"Copies of societys resolutions just re-
ceived am not only willing but desire to
submit NV records and data to a COM
mission Of American scientists that is i'm
partially selected.
October the board of the National Geo.

naragraph of which was as follows:
..The National Geographic society urges
Commander Peary and DR.. Cook speedily
to submit all of their observations, notes
ana data to a competent scientific COM
mission in the United States"
so far the society has heard nothing
from DR. Cook in answer to this invitation
save through the public prints. 1t is
nresumed in view of the fact that the

leaders the last two being Mclean,
English, with 445 kilometres (276.34

America has taken the prize Experts in
aeronautics are filled with admiration for
Mix's achievement, pointing out that the
storms which drove the more experienced
balloonists to earth could not conquer
the American.
Mix furnished the dramatic side of the
contest. His telegram, dropped from his
balloon at Jicin, upper Bohemia was jum-
bled in translation, and started the rumor
that the America had descended at Jicin.
Immediately there was a telegraphic
bombardment of Jicin, which showed that
the balloon had made no stop there. As
Mix was the last man to ascend in the
start from Zurich on last Sunday, the
greatest excitement prevailed over his
whereabouts until the arrival of hfs mes
sage today saying he had landed In Rus
sian Poland
NJ Gugelberg. vice president of the
Swiss Aero club, said that Mix started
in to win at the outset and showed re-
markable generalship.
Mix husbanded his ballast" said NJ.
GugeIberg. when ascending at Zurich
he moved upward at almost irritating
slowness, but he was only employing
skillful tactics and keeping his ballast
for a critical moment. That is how he
won. Mix's successful flight against the
driving wind. rain and fog, even If it does
not break any records. constitutes one of
the most remarkable voyages in history"
