He says:

wishes to be believed will do we'll to
follow Peary's example and have skill"
ed men as the heads OF supporting
parties.
There Is no question of Peary's haV-
ing gone to the pole. His expedition
was scientifically worked out and its
results show that Peary knew what
he was doing.
"rhc Cook fiasco will eventually re-
suit In great good to the cause of eH-
poration II will put an end to clap
trap and theatrical performances and
win set the business of exploration on
4 firm. scientific basis"
CAPT. oSBON HAS FAITH.
Capt. 3. S. Osbon. secretary of the
Arctic Club OF America. who has been
spokesman for the Cook partisans, Is
not vet convinced.
This argument is not yet over he
says. There are going to be more
important developments very soon. L

Cook controversy and viii make some

You will find that DR.. Cook Is not
downed yet. He s preparing some
thing for his enemies now, and when he
gives 1t out you can be sure it will be
worth while"
