well pleased with the outlook and with
the management of affairs.
Messrs. Cole and Becker found the
trip highly interesting and were loud
in their praises OF the magnificent
scenery along the trail. They did not
perhaps enjoy the difficulties OF max

there was plenty doing. There is no

DENMARK DIVIDED
INTO THREE CAMPS
Generally Accepted Cook Wondered Around
Artic Region and Then Determined to
Make Bold Claim Of Discovery

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 22.-Denmark
is today divided into three camps re.
garding the exploded north pole dis.
covery OF Dr. Cook. A handful Of peo-
pie. including the inspector OF North
Greenland. still believe he reached the
pole, large number think DR.. Cook
believed he reached the pole. and an
overwhelming majority declare the
Brooklyn man is the greatest impostor
OF modern times. The generally ac.
cepted view Is that Cook wandered
around in the Arctic In search OF the
pole. but without sufficient scientific
knowledge to know where he went.
When he returned from the polar wilds
he was determined, according to Dan.
lsh opinion, to make bold claim to
the discovery of the pole, stalking
everything on the forlorn possibility
that upon the meagre and incomplete
observation that he had made might
possibly substantiate his claim.
NEW YORK, Dec. 22.--Captain b. s.
Asbon, secretary OF the Arctic Club Of
America, who has been spokesman for
Cook partisians. is not yet convinced
This argument is not yet over" ne
says. There is going to be more Inn
Dortant developments very soon. I
am not at liberty to say what these
are, but they have to do with the
whole Cook controversy and will make
some people feel mighty queer. You
will find DR.. Cook is not downed yet.
He is preparing something for his
enemies now and when he gives 1t out
you can be sure 1t will be worth
while"
