companied as it was by the announce
ment that the society viii inquire into
''the question of whether or not any one

Peary was awarded a sold medal for
his achievements in the polar regions
while medal was also awarded 20 Capt

ton directing a committee 10 inquire into
the claims OF Cook excited good deal
OF interest.
While Cooks name is not directly mem

90 have an important bearing In deciding,
SO far as the scientific world is con-
cerned. whether credit is due TO Cook or
