$200.000,000. the whole Of the 7.30 loan
of $3.50. 900 and others amounting to
$1,000. 900, 900. which were considered
the most remarkable feats Of financier-
Ing known to history.
After the fall Of Richmond and the
surrender of the Confederate army. the
Secretary of the Treasury wanted $780,
100000 to pay the Union soldiers and
send them home. Mr.. Cooke, within the
space of five months, secured this loan
in $40 notes. He was the originator
of a unique method of advertising,
which proved most successful then and
since has stood the British in good
stead in advertising their war loans in
the present war.
Mr.. Cooke obtained permission to en-
ploy every branch of the postal serv-
ice, had broadsides struck with the
American eagle bearing in its mouth
scroll, on which was printed q pa
triotic message relative to the coun-
try's needs and urging subscriptions to
the war loan. These posters screamed
the seven-thirty loan from signboards
Your sons and your money on your coun-
try's altar. Our national debt may be a
national blessing. Newsbows in the
trains distributed what was called "Jay
Cooke tracts" setting forth the neces-
sites of the war, and catchy songs
were printed on posters, on which terms
of the loan were explained. These songs
were sung in the camps by the SOL
diers, and the commanding officers were
requested to address their men on the
patriotic duty of subscribing to help
the country.
Members of Congress made such
dramatic appeals for some Of these loans

WHEN THE PRINCE OF WALES
VISITED WASHINGTON'S TOMB

NoRMER PREMIER BALFoUR and
his associates of the British high
commission were not the first
Englishmen to pay tribute at the grave
of George Washington at Mount Ver-
non to the high character of the
father of his country and the leader of
the revolutionary forces with which
their forebears had fought.
Prince Edward of Wales, afterward
King Edward VII. antedated them in
a similar ceremony of honored respect
to the great patriot moro than half
century before.
The United States was then on the
verge of a great conflict. the fratrio.d o.dal
strife of the civil war. 1t is again at
the beginning of what promises to be a
greater struggle.
It was late in the year 1860 that
Prince Edward made his historic tour
Of the United States. His visit to
Mount Vernon is best told in the words
of Captain Of Engineers F. H. Pulsifer.
United States coast guard, retired, who
was engineer aboard the revenue cut
ter Harriet Lane. named after the niece
of President Buchanan, the vessel as
signed to take the royal visitor from
port to port along the Atlantic at that
time. Capt John Faunce was in COM
mand.
Capt. Pulsifer. in "reminiscences of
his services. writes:
Later In the year (1360) we had the
youthful Prince of Wales on board at
the time of his only visit to this coun-
try. My recollections of him are as a
high-spirited. mischievous boy. friendly
and inquisitive.
HE and his party came aboard at
Washington navy yard. the prince es-
cortfng President Buchanan's niece,
Miss Harriet Lane. When they reach
ed the wharf the prince insisted on her
walking on the strip of crimson carpet
laid for his royal feet. while he walked
alongside on the planking.
''The prince would walk all over the
cutter from the top of the paddle boxes
to the engine room and berth deck"
The Harriet Lane was the first steam
vessel. with auxiliary power, in the
revenue cutter service. She attracted
much attention in those days. owing to

cal officers from the army and the navy
are active in its administration and in
sure that Its course will be in harmony
with the military system.
Already the Red Cross has begun the
organization of base hospital units, and
it needs money and supplies. especially
supplies that volunteer workers can
make. 1t wants them now. because
after war begins it is hard to get any,
thing on account of the general upset
of transportation and manufacturing
plants.
The Red Cross will establish stations
throughout the country for the storage
of such supplies. Volunteer workers
may, perhaps, get the best results by
forming groups. each to be responsible
for one class of supplies. They can
pack these in boxes and have them
ready for delivery to the station where
they are opened.
formation by putting itself in touch
with the nearest Red Cross station. 1t
can spend as much money as the
wealthiest can afford; it can at least
make something for some fellow who
needs the remembrance even more
than he needs the gift.
The. heads of the bureau of medicine
and surgery have. in peace times, made
ready. They have welded the cog and
adjusted it to fit in with the other
parts of the great naval machine. 1t
will be found ready to bear its part
in any great movement when the word
comes.

PulSifer continues:
"At Mount Vernon he paid homage
to the man who had wrested our coun-
try from the empire of which he was
later to be the head"
That is all that Capt. Pulsifer says
of the princes conduct on that occa-
sion. but he adds:

Capt. Pulsifer continues his narrative
with an account of further travels with
the Prince of Wales as distinguished
passenger and guest. He says.
I'VE next proceeded to New York.
Here hero worship held sway-follow-
plates and glasses used by the prince
were carried off by enthusiastic ladies.
One lady exhibited for years, no doubt,
a glass which she believed had touched
the lips of the Prince of Wales. but
which had, to my knowledge been sub
stituted by the steward upon the
breaking of the reverenced glass.
