There is no doubt that Mr.. Peary

cation was severe. However his atti.

not In the slightest affect the honor
that Is his of being the first discover.
er to reach the Pole. and his reward

It Is unfortunate that Admiral

time comes TO write the history OF this
century in proper perspective. assured.
