SUBSTANTIAL REASONS FOR

and worries of the people of England
on account of apprehension OF a Ger

panic on account of the teles of air

making ready for the oncoming of vast
aerial hosts. This worry seems TO have

ways with England the fear that trou.

the fortunes Of war might go hard with

THAT Or. COOK is
PREVARlCATOR
(By Associated Press.)


NEW YORK, Sept. S.--The lie
was hurled today concerning the dis
covery of the North Pole and the
foundation laid for a controversy
unparalleled in history.
Peary today sent message which
challenges the veracity of DR.. Cook,
and further complicates situation
which the whole world is discussing.
Peary discredits Cooks claims,
with the intimation that he (Peary)
and he alone planted the flag at the
North Pole, on April 6, 1909, and
that Cook, who asserts that he un-
furled the flag at the North Pole on
April 21, 1908, must substantiate
his claim.
At Copenhagen Cook was shown
his rivals statements, and stood by
his guns He declined to enter into
a debate, and calmly asserted that
his records would sustain him. To
prove his right Of discovery before
the entire world he announced that
he will dispatch a ship to Green
land and bring to America his Es-
kimo companions.
DR.. Cook, according to present
plans, will sail for the United
States Sunday next and will arrive
on September 21. BY that Tins
Peary also is expected to arrive.
