Britons Fear Peary May
Beat Scott to the
South Pole.
by United Press Wire.

ondon, Sept. 16.--The announce
ment that Commander Peary may
next turn his attention to the discov-
cry of the South Pole has aroused a
tremendous amount of enthusiasm
throughout England for the Antarctic
exploration that Captain Scott is plan
ming soon to start upon.
For fear that Peary may beat Scott
to the South Pole and thus rob Eng
land of the one great exploration
honor that Is left, contributions to-
ward the necessary 100000 fund for
the Captains trip poured in today in
u greater stream than ever, notwith-
standing that 1t was announced two
days ago that the entire sum had
been pledged.
One subscriber today sent n dollar
with the request that 1t be used to buy
nails with which to fastcn the Union
Jack to the Pole.
There have already been 10,0 900 APP
plications for places in the Scott ex.
pedition, the ages ranging from
thirteen to slxty-five years. The an
nouncement of Peary's Anarctic am.
bitions, whether IT is true or mot has
had the effect OF increasing the re.
sentiment felt toward him. Eng.
land is so set on winning the Ant
arctic honor that even the suggestion
of another nation capturing this prize
makes the average Brltisher want to
fight.
