dreds of men north with him on his various expeditions. he has brought them all back, and in good health, with the exception of two, who lost their lives in accidents for which the leader was in no wise responsible. What a contrast this record is to the long list Of fatalities from disease, frost, sh h.pwreck and starvation, which, in the popular mind has made the word Arctic" synonomous with tragedy and death.
 Thus Robert E. Peary crowned life devoted to the exploration of the sicy north and to the advancement of science by the hard-won discovery of the north pole. The prize of four cen turies of striving yielded at last to the most persi istent and scientific at tack ever waged against it. Peary's success was made possible by long experience which gave him thor ough knowledge of the difficulties to be overcome, and by an unusual combination of mental and physical p0wer-a resourcefulness which en- abled him to find a way to surmount all obstacles, a tenacity and cour- age which knew no defeat, and a physical endowment such as nature gives to few men.
 Tt has heen well said that the glory of Peary's achievement belongs to the world and is shared by all mankind. But we, his fellow coun- trymen, who have known how he struggled those many years against d scoura cement and scoffing and how he persevered under financial bur- dens that would crushed less stalwart shoulders, specially rejoice that he made good at last and that an American has become the peer of Hudson, Magellan and Columbus" Tribute to the achievements of Ad- l miral Peary was paid by Secretary Dainels today in the following mes sage of synpa thy to Mrs. Peary: "Voicing the sentiments of the whole navy. l desire 10 express deer sympathy in. your bereavement.

DEATH OF A8kI RAJ PEARY,
 DlSCOVERER OF NORTH POLE

Washington, Feb. 20.-Rear Adni- ral Robert E. Peary, retired, discov- erer of the North Pole, died at his home here early today after a two years illness of pernicious anenlia, during which thirty-fiye blood trans fusions had been of no avail Sailors, attaches of the naval hospital, and many ex-service men gave of their life's blood during that period in the vain effort to prolong the life of the country's foremost explorer.
 It had been known to the exrlor- CTS family for weeks, but kept from the public, that his life was despair ed of. but no one thought the end so near and h-s sudden was unexpected. He will be burial Monday morning in Arlington National Cemetery with the full naval honors of his rank.
 In an appreciation of Admiral Peary, Gilbert H. Grosvenor, presi- dent Of the National Geographic So- ciety. today said:
 Tt has been my privilege to know Admiral Peary intimately for twenty years, and 1 find it difficult to ex- press my admiration and affection for his personal qualities. the bignesy of his heart and personality, his loya devotion to his friends. his rugged in tegrity and his love for everything American.
 "The struggle for the North Pole began nearly one hundred years be fore the landing of the Pilgrim Fa- thers at Plymouth Rock, being in augurated 152O by that king o many distinctions, Henry VIII. o i England.
