SHACKLETON SAYS
 NO MORE "DASHES"
Future Polar Expeditions Will Take Form of Order ed Scientific Research.

London. Sept. 7.-In the opinion of Lieut.. Ernest Shackleton, the English Antarctic explorer who came within Ill miles of reaching the South Pole, there will be no more "dashes to the pole'' such as those just concluded by pr. Cook and Commander Peary.
 In an interview with the United Press today, Lieut.. Shackleton said:
 q think Peary's success ends the present method of Polar exploration. There will be no more dashes to the North Pole. Expeditions in the fu- ture will be like the expedition planned by Roald Amundsen, on which Amund- sen expects to drift with the ice, talk ing ample time for observations and soundings. There is not time for ade- quate observations under the present method.
 tI think both men have done an ad- mifable work, of great scientific value. Peary's observations are sure to be of the greatest purely scientific value, while Cooks discovery of unknown land and the presence of game further north than heretofore supposed to ex- ist, gives an added incentive to scien- tific work, as it means a partial guar antee against starvation"

MRS. PEARY TO MEET EXPLORER

Eagle Island, Maine, Sept. Mrs. Robert Edwin Peary and her two chil- dren are today rushing preparations to go to Sydney, N. s., where they ex- pect Commander Peary to land from the Roosevelt and proceed by train to Washington, D. c.
 My husband is still a naval officer and it will be his first duty to report to the Navy Department in Washing ton.
 .I expect him to proceed directly to that point,'' said Mrs. Peary to a United Press representative today.
 The wife of the intrepid explorer re- ceived the news of his wonderful feat with joy Early yesterday morning she called her two children, Ahmghlto, the girl who was born in the Arctic Circle, and Robert E., Jr., and said to them:
 "We are going to hear from Dad to- day. I can just feel it.
 q have felt the same way,'' replied little Miss Peary.
 And it was but a short time later that newspaper men dashed up to the home and told Mrs. Peary her hus- band had notified the world that he had reached the pole. "I know he cabled me first,'' ex- claimed the little woman. It was but a short time later that a cablegram was handed her. It had to be brought over from the mainland in a sailboat and that accounts for the fact that the newspaper men feached her first on a launch. Mrs. Pesry, her hands shak-

fGlory Enough for Two,"
 View of Washington

Washington, Sept That there is glory enough for two, and that both Cook and Peary are each deserving of all credit and praise for their inde- pendent discoveries of the North Pole, is the verdict of scientists and public men generally in Washington.
 The one thing that is the occasion for the greatest rejoicing is that the discoverer was an American.
 In the opinion of local savants, Cooks was a tremendous personal tri- umph, Peary's scientific achieve ment Cook himself has admitted that as a scientist he is an, amateur. He was not equipped with the variety usually take with them, and he has even expressed some doubts as to the absolute accuracy of his observations. It is believed here. judging from his interviews in Conenha gen, that when his full report shall have been made rublic, it will add little to the worlds S sum of scientific knowledge regarding conditions in the North Polar region.
 On the other hand, Peary went sup piled with the most elaborate devices for making scientific observations. Moreover, he is a thorough scientist himself, and will undoubtedly be able to lay before the experts not only con- vincing proofs of his presence at the pole, but data of inestimable value.
 Prof. Willis l.. Moore, chief of the United States Weather Bureau and President of the National Geographic Society, is conferring today with the board of managers of that body as to what action the society may take in recognizing Peary's achievement and in welcoming him back to this city. It is likely that an effort will be made to have him present as one of the guests of honor at the annual dinner of the society in December, when it is proposed to have President Taft pre- sent the Hubbard gold medals to Dr. Cook and Lieut.. Shackleton, the Eng fish explorer, who recently returned from his near-South Polar dash. Peary is already the wearer of Hub bard medal, bestowed upon him in 1906, for his last previous exploit in the Arctic regions
