New News Of Yesterday
A Great Financier of Civil
War Days
Nv Holland.
q, Holland.

Many persons confess themselves to
be bewidered by the reports that tell
Of tho colossal financing which the
British statesmen are now perform
ins, saying that only a mind capable
of grasping the meaning that IS in the
figures which tell Of the distances of
the celestial objects in the starry
heavens can get any save remote
comprehension of the magnitude Of
the financing which is now in prog
ross.
/ have heard many comments OF
this kind anu they remind me Of A
conversation which ] had with the
late George S. Coe. a banker Of New
York who was in intimate financial
relations with the government at
Washington at the time Of the Civil
War.
MY relations with Hugh McCul-
loch, who was Secretary of the Treas
ury in the administration Of Presi-
dent johnson and VINO was the FIRST
Comptroller Of the Currency, were
very intimate and at times wnen we
had leisure Mr. MoCulloch would tell
me OF strange or exciting incidents
associated with the administration of
the Treasury Department at Wash
ington" said Mr. Coe.
Il remember that he said that some
time in the future the historians
would identify Jay Cooke as the great
est single financial leader the world
has ever known No man, so far as
Mr. McCulloch had been able to learn
either IN this country or any other,
unless he was a government officer
has ever secured such successful A.
nancial results as Cooke was able TO
obtain at the time of the Civil War
Mr. McCulloch told me that he was
persuaded that not another banker
in the United States would have dar-
ed even TO contemplate a plan Of
floating upon his own responsibility
100000 600 in the form of a govern
ment loan.
Yet Cooke. teariessiy ard without
hesitation. assumed that responsible
ity ana loated the loan. He, in ike
manner, hcated others, and the ag-
gregate of the loans which he hoated
was two billion dollars.
"Mr McCuiloch tod me that per
haps tho most remarkable OF Jaw
Cookies achievements was one which

estimated that as much ar $3.50, co.,

ask him whether he thought he could

eating $3.50. 100000 or thereabouts

government would be IN possession
Of the funds with which to pay off its

within a short time. Tho dopartm Mt
took him at his word and was there
by able TO obtain the money with
which the soldiers were paid. the last
payment being made IN the fall Of
1865. Cookies success was due to the
fact that he had faith not only in the
ability. but in the willingness Of the
American people TO absorb govern
ment loans provided the terms were
satisfactory He never once erred in
a Judgment of that kind"

American Line officials who were con-
v!c,ed yesterday Is concerned Secretary
Lansing announced as far back as q
week ago that in his opinion the evi.
dence produced by the Government
prosecutors linking W the name OF the
Military attache with the provisioning
OF German wars:lps from the United
States could in no sense be regarded as
involving him In an infractlon OF the
laws Of the United states.
According to Mr.. Lansing, to show
that Boyd had violated II Federal.
municipal or international law II was
not sufficient to show that he had ar
ranged for the provisioning Of these
warships. any one OF wh!ch could. under
international law, coal or provision at
any American port as often as once
every three months. but that II would
have TO be shown that he was involved
in the obtaining OF clearance papers
under false manl.ests. or that he mad
directed The provisioning OF particular
ships from American ports more OFTEN
than once in every three months.
In Mr.. Lansing's opinion the trial had
rot shown Capt. Boy-Ed 10 have COM
mitted either one OF these offences.
Whether In view Of the Improper ac-
tivities'' found against the two men this
Government will consent to the sending
by Germany OF substitutes in their
| places is problematical. The question
was dismissed at the state Department
his afternoon by the statement thai Il
had not been considered and would not
be decided until Germany proposed the
names OF substitutes.
on the other hand in war and navy
circles the opinion was expressed that
while Great Britain and her allies might
consent 10 give safe conduct TO Boy-Ed
and Won Papen for their return TO Ger
many under the circumstances OF a re-
call. II was extremely doubtful whether
they would do as much for other at
tdches which Germany might want to
seyd here In their places,
The understanding here tonight Is
that this Government will not consent Il
Boy-Ei or Won Papen remaining in the
country in an unofficial capacity, They
will have TO leave but this country will
undertake to give them safe conduct.
