Astronomer Says There's Life on Mars (Part 2)

August 1924 (Des Moines Register)

Quote from Captain See: "The chemical elements in Mars are the same as upon earth; the electrical, atomic and molecular forces are similar in all respects; all physical conditions are the same; therefore Mars and Venus are habitable, like the earth and therefore also inhabited like our own globe. The canals of Mars most likely are vegetation banks along water courses."

Quote from Captain See: "If any one ask if we can signal to Mars, we answer that we can but that the chance of an answer is slight because we could not have answered such a signal ourselves thirty years ago; radio telegraphy was not then invented."

Quote from Captain See: "It is unlikely that the Martians could answer us, even if we signaled them, for a thousand years. Hence the prospect of signaling to Mars is slight, though some kind of life certainly exists there."
