duCed Again.

locked doors today on the city's

was cut from the budget, to S1,135.
The general fund levy was So cents

dream or fake such sharp and minute detail
Throughout the sickening propaganda war upon
my discovery claim and until this day. it is my con-
tenton and firm belief that the best proof or dis
proof of my truthfulness lies in my narrative account
of the Polar dash. Figures, observations and other
statistical data can be hypothecated; any reasonably
intelligent person knows the frequent fallacy of che
old saw, Figures don't le"; but to manufacture
complete and crcumstantal chronicle of such trip
as NINE without permitting obvious discrepancies
and inaccuracies to enter, is feat far beyond The
attainment of even a "Prince of Liars"
Let the following reiteration, then, stand as my
last offering of evidence in my behalf before the
court of public opinion That the final verdict will

whose statues have been crowned with laurel and
whose memories have been enshrned in reverence

Oddly enough, my successful expedition to the
North Pole started not such, but was organized
and launched primarily as hunting trip. The
Polar effort though it lurked in my thoughts from
the moment the voyage was decided upon, ] kept
IN the background until the Arctic was actually
reached.
Just as in the conquest of Mount Mckinley, my
success in attaining the Pole was based on Oppor-
tunsm-the conjunction of favorable circumstances
and my preparedness TO seize them.
