Letter From Explorers Home
Town Voices Views.

Washington, d. c.. - Denouncing
Robert E. Peary, the explorer, as a
selfish egotist," and a "braggart,"
Captain B. 8. Osbon, secretary of the
Arctic Club of America, has written q
letter to the subcommittee of the
house naval committee approving the
letters action in voting down the
proposition to make Peary a rear ad-
miral. Captain Osborn says:
"The action of the subcommittee on
naval affairs in the matter of Civil
Engineer Robert E. Peery-not Peary,
for that is and assumed name-de-
serves the heartiest commentator of
every American citizen who values
justice and respects the United States
navy.
ITO have given this selfish egotist,
this braggart, the rank of rear admir-
al, would be foul blot on the rec
ords of congress and an insult to the
navy of the United States. It would
have disguised millions of our citizens
who have no confidence in this al
legged pole hunter and Arctic fur trad.
er and story teller, who for nearly
quarter of century has been living
off the people and sailing under
naval rank to which he had no legal
right and for which he should have
been severely reprimanded by the
navy department long ago."
Another letter from Portland, Me-,
the home of Mr.. Peary, written by an
executive officer in the naval reserve
of that state, says:
1T should be gratifying to all think
ing citizens that there is group of
men in Washington, who, while ready
suitably and generously to recognize
the distinguished achievements of Mr..
Peary, refuse to be actuated or in
tiuenced by fanatical sentimentalism."

quently suggested by the photographers
of the press. That the former presi-
dent will be thus received is denied
with much positiveness by one of the
news agencies.
This agency declares that, however
much the emperor may desire to honor
his guest he cannot receive him per-
sonally at the railway station or send
a royal prince as a representative to
meet him because this would be too
obvious departure from state etiquet.
One editorial commentator suggests
that the emperor must have consider

hibit too demonstEatively regard for
the presidents predecessor.
