Washington, d. G. (Speciall -
America has decided to seek for
South Pole laurels similar to those
won for her by Commander Peary
at the North Pole. The National
Geographic resolves TO send an exae-
dition in search of the South Pole
provided the necessary funds can be
raised. 1t is not believed that there
will be any lack on this score Com
mander Peary, who is in New York.
where a testimonial in his behalf
was given at the Metropolitan Opera
House. was notified Immediately of
the action of the board of managers
of the Geographic Society.
Captain Bartlett, who was in
command of the Roosevelt, which
Peary used on his successful trip 10
the North Pole, probably will be plac-
ed in charge of the expedition into
the Antarctic regions. With the ex-
ception of Commander Peary, the
members of the expedition will he
the same as those who returned last
year from the frozen North.
The Roosevelt, including complete
equipment, sledges and all, is practi-
cally in readiness to be stored with
provisions and start on her search
of the only big goal on the globe
which has not yet been reached.
Before the Geographic Society
makes final decision in the matter
there will be consultations with the
members of the society to find out
whether the project will receive sut-
ficient financial assistance to war
rant the undertaking.
Question OF Funds.
1t is not felt that the money
should be taken from the funds OF
the society, but it is believed that no
difficulty will be experienced in rails
ing sufficient money to fit out the
Roosevelt
After a meeting lasting more
than an hour the board of managers
of the Geographic Society adopted
the following resolution:
THE National Geographic Society
believes that it is of great Importance
to science that tidal, magnetic and
meteorological observations shall be
obtained at or in the vicinity Of
Coats land during the same period
that the British expedition under
Capt. Robert F. Scott, r.. ~, is
making similar observations on the
other side of the Antarctic area
! 500 miles distant, and at the same
time that this recently discovered
land shall DE explored
THAT the society is ready to ac-
cept Mr.. Peary's proposition that it
shall undertake Jointly with the
Peary Arctic Club an expedition to
the Antarctic regions as outlined
above, provided that the board OF
after consulting with the
members of the society, finds that
the project will receive sufficient f.
nancial assistance to warrant the I'M
dertaking."
No Rivalry To British.
1t is thought probable that the OK
petition may be ready to set sail
from New York, where the sturdy
little Roosevelt is now lying at rest
after her hard labors in struggling
through northern ice fields as early
as July The rapidity with which
response for financial assistance is
made by members or friends of the
society will determine the date. It
is hoped to have the South Pole seek

Der next. No spirit of rivalry to the
British attempt to reach he South
Pole is being manifested, it was de-
clared, in the American expedition.
