Chinese Historical Plays That Keep

Historical plays are acted every

the quiet villages. the homes Of the

written with the object Of intensity

actors possess The foreigner is rep
resented as q monster in appearance.

Of Commander Peary announcement
that he had reached the North Pole.
DR.. Cook was intensely interested, and
said: ''That is good news. [ hope
Peary did get to the pole. His OBJ
serva,ions and reports on that region
will confirm mine.
Asked if there was any probability
Of Peary's having found the tube con-
tanning his records, DR.. Cook replied:
II hope so, but that is doubtful on
account Of the drift. ,;
DR.. Cook added: "Commander
Pearyn would have reached the pole
this year. Probably while I was in
1.-The Arctic region last year his route
was several hundred miles east of
mine. We are rivals, Of course, but
the pole is good enough for two.
".That two men got to the pole
along different paths,'' - continued the
explorer, "should furnish large ad-
ditions to scientific knowledge. Prob
ably other parties will reach it in the
next ten years since every explorer IS
helped by the experience Of his pred
ecessors, just as Sverdrop's observa~
ton and reports we're of immeasur-
able help to me. I can say nothing
more. without knowing further de-
tails, than that 7 am glad Of it"
While Dr.. Cook was conversing
casually with some American friends
on the possibility Of the denouement
which electrified the world. DR.. Cook
laughingly remarked: "It is quite
possible that Peary will turn up now.
He is due to get back, if he carries
out his plans. We have always been
friends. While Of course we we're nv
ais in the attempt to find the. pole, we
have been friendly rivals. "
Those who have had the best op-
pontunities to become acquainted
with Dr.. Cook here believe that he is
not likely to enter into controversy
with Commander Peary:
Sverdrop. who came here for the
purpose Of congratulating DR.. Cook,
was most interested in the news that
Peary had reached the pole. Sver-
drop is a remarkably tactiturn and
careful man. He said: "There is
nothingI cando about this particularly
except that it is most important and
wonderful. It seems to me that Amer
lea is doing wonderfully if two Amer
leans are the first men to get to the
pole after such long struggles by SO
many men Of different nationahtles. "

ment. reached New York tonight
from South Harpswell. Me-. where
Mrs. Pearv has been spending the
summer. 1t contained both a touch
of pathos and quaint reference to
his success. "Have made good at
last" says the explorer to his wife.
" have the old pole. AM we'll. Love.
Will wire again from Chateau" The
message is signed simply "Bert,' an
a,bbreviation of Robert, Commander
Peary'S first name.
Mrs. Pearv sent a wife's charac-
teristic reply, wife love and a bless
ing, and a request for him to "hurry
home.'
By another strange coincidence in
this chapter Of condolences Mrs.
Cook. too. was in South Harpswell,
Me-. when she received the first news
Of her husbands success. Both she
and Mrs. Peary had gone for months
without a word Of their husbands,
but had hoped and prayed, first for
their safe return. and, secondly, 1t
may be guessed, for the planting OF
the flag at the pole.
Views Overwhelm Scientists.
In New York tonight little prepara-
ton had been made to welcome home
Commander Peary for so suddenly
came the news Of his achievement that
scientific societies were overwhelmed.
While Peary's name was on the lips
Of every one from the street urchln
to the college professor, no formal
meetings were held and no commit
tees Of welcome appointed. But with
the dawn of tomorrow it is expected
that the Peary Arctic club. the Ex-
nlorers' club and the Arctic club Will
begin preparations for the celebration
of the unprecedented event.
i Peary's exploit could not be dis
cussed from a scientific viewpoint to-
night because details Of his dash to
the pole are lacking. How fast he
travelled, what great obstacles he met
and overcame, what observations he
took and what data he brings back
with him are as unavailable tonight
as if he were still in the frozen North.
1t is noted generally, however. that
the home coming Of the two explorers,
practically at The same time. will at
ford an opportunity for the COMPARE
son of records never heretofore pre-
sented. For 400 years man has been
striving to reach the pole and now
two Americans bring back with them
chronicles of their discovery and OBJ
servationS of the land Of mysteries.
Cooks achievement has been ques-
toned and he has been charged by
staunch supporters Of Commander
Peary with conduct unethical for
what they termed his following in Sc
crecy route which Peary had IN
view. Each faction, now. however, has
its laurels, and with animosity buried
the world at large will profit there
from.
