6 FRATERNITY Kossuth’s visits to Great Britain and the United States were triumphal lours. In Washington he addressed both houses of Congress and was lauded by Daniel Webster at a legislative banquet. Although sympathy and financial aid were freely offered, Kossuth’s mission ended in failure. His eloquence was not enough to persuade either Great Britain or the United States to intervene directly in Central Europe. Unable to accept the compromise of 1867, which restored some measure of Hungarian selfgovernment, he remained in exile, dying in Italy on March 20, 1894. 4-Cent Stamp to Be Green The 4-cent Kossuth stamp will be printed in green in sheets of 70 (seven across by 10 deep), and the 8-cent denomination in red, blue and golden ochre in sheets of 72 (eight across and nine deep). The basic design for the Champions of Liberty series was a collaboration of the three arist members of the Stamp Advisory Committee — Arnold Copeland, Erviné Metzl and William H. Buckley. One of the plates used for the 8-cent Bolivar stamp, plate 26070, for printing the blue denomination, lower ribbon and spray of leaves, will also be used for the 8-cent Kossuth stamp. Collectors desiring first day caneellatoins may send self-addressed envelopes with remittance to cover the cost of the stamps to the Postmaster, Washington 13, D. C. The pictorial part of the first day cancellation will show Hungary’s ancient coat of arms.
