Admiral Il. Il. Peary in the narrative
describing his discovery OF the north
pole deyotes a very long chapter TO the
Eskimos with whom he has had inti-
mate dealings FOR many years. He tells
us that. though they are savages, they
are not savage; that, though they are
without government, they are not law
less; that, though they are uneducated.
they exhibit a remarkable degree Of
intelligence. He assures US that they
have no religion, yet he describes them
as destitute Of vice and ready to share
their last meal with the hungry. He

The Federal Express is necessarily run
bv a roundabout way in order to obtain

provided nightly, ,aetr way, between
New York and Boston. Space for these

UP TO vienna OR Berlin
TO EXPLAIN PERSIA sinking
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON. Jan. Ga dispatch
to the State Department today from
Consul Garrels at Alexandria indi-
Gates that the government now has all
the information it is likely to have
regarding the sinking OF the Persia,
unless II comes from Vienna or
Berlin.
Garrels' cable said, "no submarines
nor any other beat was seen" by sur
vivors from whom he has taken affi-
davits. The second officer Of the
Persia. who said. according TO press
dispatches, that he saw the wake of a
submarines periscope, was asked for
an afRdavit
State Department officials admitted
they believed this officers affidavit Is
said contained no further informa-
tion."
This point is considered important
in view of Secretary Lansing's repeat
ed assertions that $50 far the United
States does not take for granted the
assumption that the Persia was tor
pedoed."
He has frankly said his mind is
sun open on lne question OF whether
the Persia was sunk by submarine or
mine Other State Department OIL
Gals nave plainly intimated that the
word eOf only one man. and that an
Englishman, that he saw the wake of
n submarines periscope. would be
small evidence on which to take Il
for granted that a torpedo from a
submarine sank the British liner"
A despatch from the Ambassador at
! Vienna received toda,. said Penfeld
has formally requested the Vienna
foreign Office for information in the
matter.
Both dispatches were considered Of
enough Importance to be read by
Secretary Lansing TO President Wilson
