Shibusawa says,

fectly satisfied in sending US plain

We are all deeply interested in the

us, therefore. work for the extension
OF commercial relations TO our mutual

REFLECTION CAST
ON COOKS NAME

Chicago. Sept 2-More definite and
more reliable Information concerning
Dr.. Cooks trip to the North Pole must
be receieyed before Chicago scientists
will admit the quest was successful.
Last night University of Chicago
professors were inclined TO be skep-

ed from the explorer, who claims TO
have reached "farthest north" They
even intimated that his position in
the world OF exploration and science
was not sufficiently firm to give his
statements the strength Of those of
Peary. Nansen or others. who have de-
voted their lives to attempting to
reach the pole.

his chief claim TO fame as an explorer

ed discovery before they would ac-
cept it as true.
Professor Thomas C. Hamberldn,
head of the geological department of
the University of Chicago. and his as
sitant, Professor W w. Atwood, were
asked TO give their opinions Pro
fessor Atwood in commenting upon
DR. Cook said;
