LONDON CHANGES 'FRONT.'
Newspapers Indicate q ReUutsion of
Feeling IN Favor of DR.. Cook.

London, Sept. 10-The immediate effect Of the
publication of Pearys brief account of his journey
mere is certain revulsion of feeling in favor Of
pr Cook and the adoption of more judicial and
impartial attitude toward both explorers. THE
Daily Telegraph" in editorial says:
DR. Cook has decided to face the music and in
SO doing has greatly redeemed his position in Eng
llsh eyes, and in a large measure has made COM
fnent at the present stage both unfair and unvise
90 long as the matter between himself and his
greater rival is sub judce it is but common justice
to concede to both claimants the courtesy of the
best construction"
The Morning Post regrets the tone adopted by
the extreme partisans. and says that Com
mander Peary's kilograms SAVIOR of the intudicious
Both explorers may, for all know says the
paper be mistaken, and until proof is forthcom-
ing must both be considered 20 stand equal
1ty so far as the race for the pole is concerned"
One of the chief reasons for the reaction In DR.
Cooks favor is the unexpected switness OF Peary's
sedge journey to and from the pole. This is re-
garded as having disposed of the strongest
arguments against the probability of Cooks feat
and has placed the possibilities of Arctic travel in
entirely light
Comment is made the fact that DR.. Cook
does not mention meeting with open water which
would retard his journey to the pole. One of the
leading British medical journals points that,
according to the usual ideas. microsoopical exam
ination OF water to detect the presence of alga in
the sea, such DR.. Cook records having DONE
would be practically impossible, because the
would freeze under examination.
The general opinion is that little OF a convincing
character will be obtained by examination Of
the Esquimaus, and that evidence of value
will be secured only by expert comparison OF
the two mems records of scientific observations.
The Post" in a special article suggests that

rate Observations for latitude in the farthest
North. especially In the early spring, when the
suns altitude above the horizon measures only a

phenomenally rapid at which they travelled
both Cook and Peary may have miscalculated their
positions. and adds: ut must be assumed that
Peary guarded against such errors. but expert
examination of his records will be awaited with the
greatest interest
Convincing evidence is the verdict the after

which adds: "Peary has actually reached the pole.
