Astronomer Says There's Life on Mars (Part 1)

August 1924 (Des Moines Register)

"Capt. T.J.J. See, professor of mathematics, United States navy and government astronomer at Mare Island, in a statement today said that astronomical research has proved beyond a doubt that Mars is a habitable planet and therefore it is inhabited by vegetable and animal life of some kind. Of that Captain See is certain."

Quote from Captain See: "Mars has polar caps of ice and snow, which melt with the advance of the Martian summer and are built up again with the return of the Martian winter. We can see this very distinctly in the several large telescopes I have used during the last thirty years. And wonderful to relate, we can see the clouds floating in the atmosphere of Mars."
