Secretary Knox is anxious to con-
clude a treaty with Japan under which
neither country may resort to arms.

many recent attempts to reach the
North Pole, any one of which might,
under fortunate conditions, have prov
ed successful. Contributing to the
worlds scientific knowledge is what is
OF Importance and that Peary has
done. The mere question who arrived
first at a certain point happens in this
case to be of much less consequence.
Commander Peary is entitled to all
his laurels. quite regardless of the
question whether DR.. Cook is an hon

should leave Cook to fight his own
