IF it is true, as is charged, that DR.. Frederick

such tactics as those employed by Representa-

Assuming that Representative Helgesen's
motive is to clear away the discredit that now
attaches TO DIR. Cook, he is going about il the
wrong way. To remove Admiral Peary from
the retired list of the navy and to deprive"
him OF the thanks Of Congress, extended in
