Clamor for Truth
Grows in Germany
Radical-Liberal Leader Asks
Imperial Chancellor to Let
Press Print Facts

LONDON, Sept. 16.-The clamor for
the truth is growing in Germany. DR..
Muller-Meningcn, leader of the Radi-
cal-Liberals. according TO "The London
Daily Mail" has addressed an open let
ter to the Imperial Chancellor demand
ing that the German press be per
mitted to give a more faithful picture
of the actual psychology of the ma
tions which refuse TO acknowledge that
Germany has defeated" them. Muller
Meningen says:
"The German nation cannot only
stand the truth, but actually thirsts
for il. It is determined heroically and
stout-heartedly to bear everything and
to make any sacrifice demanded of it.
1t only yearns TO hear and speak the
truth without damage TO the Father
land-the truth, even when it is
capable temporarily Of depressing our
spirits. The people insist that all the
facts from the enemy's camp be ruth
.lessly communicated to them. whether
for the moment they seem to be favor
able or otherwise"

Committee Completes Re-
vision, to Become Effective
as Soon as Possible
Cuts Number of Rates
Aims to Make Pay Nearly
Uniform in All Sections
of the Country
tStar Corr~rondence

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-1he Navy
Yards and Arsenals Wage Committee
made up Of representatives Of the de-
partments of War. Navy and Labor
has completed its revision Of the scale
of wages paid in arsenals and navy
wards. and the new scale will go into
effect as soon as the new payrolls can
be made up.
The committee, after careful exami-
nation of local rates, has been guided
to a great extent by the desirabillty
in the present national crisis Of MAX
ing the rates as nearly uniform as
possible.
In the new navy yard scale the most
important change is the reduction OF
the number of rates in any one TRACE
to three. Heretofore most of the
skilled trades have been graded INTO
five rates, the men in the lowest rates
receiving often little more than un-
skilled labor. Hereafter the lowest
will be paid not more than sl.O4 a
day less than the frst-class men. The
increases given in the maximum rates
average nearly 10 per cent. In some
cases the recommendation Of the local
navy yard, as in the case, OF some
trades at Puget Sound, have been
slightly reduced in view of the abnor-
nal situation in that locality. The
scale given by the committee shows
nevertheless, an actual larger percent
age of increases and higher maxi
mum of pay than in any other navy
yard. In other cases, notably Mare
Island and New York, the increases
given are greater than the recommen-
dations of the local authorities.
The committee has approved the rec
concentrations of the commanding Off
GERS at the arsenals. At certain OF
the arsenals there remain appeals on
which no decision has been reached.
II is the intention of the committee
to visit the arsenals in person or to
send representatives to adjust all out
standing questions.

THE DEADLY JUMP OF THE RADI
GALS

There are at present only two Demo
cratic Governors, and they are the only
Governors who, from the outset OF their
term, attempted to put the state militia
on q better basis as far as the radical
monster called the CONSUMPTION bill
gave them free play.
The radical Senator Wilson con-
tended at a time when the willingness
to enlist in the Union Army was great
est that the army of 10000 was too
strong, and the radical Secretary Of
War, Stanton, ordered the recruiting to
be stopped.
We see in this dark period how the
Republican Governor Curtis of Penn
sylvania vainly begged from Washing
ton the permission and the means to
organize the state militia. There were
blind and weakened tools like Todd, of
Ohio; Morton. Of Indiana; Blair, Of
Utah, and Yates, OF Illinois, who were
wanted by the Administration.
To rob finally the state Of any chance
Of an independent policy of defence and
10 take away from the state Governors
the last remnant of military authority
and power, the infamous CONSUMPTION
bill was added TO all the prior orders
aimed at this effect during the last aes-
sion Of Congress.

July 4. 1862
The American nation is celebrating
to-day the eighty-seventh anniversary
Of its birthday There will be no lack
Of noisy demonstrations, fireworks,
cannon salvos, banquets and speech
making, which generally were employed
to glorify this day; but, in spite OF all
this, every intelligent man must recog-
rize that we hold to-day funeral
rather than birthday party.
These sad meditations are caused not
only by the extremely critical situa..
tOn in the theatre of war; for even II
the worst fears will be realized, II the
national capital will be lost and our
armies beaten, the death sentence OF
the nation will not be thereby pro-
nounced, as long "a it (the nation)
preserves the spirit from which 1t has
sprung, thanks to which it has become
great, powerful, honored and respected.
But the fact that this spirit, when
Inspired the fathers OF our Republic,
eighty-seven years ago, has become eX-
tinguished, so that to-day not the least
vestige remains OF those ideas and
thoughts, the defence and development
Of which was our nations duty in the
history Of mankind's evolution, IS
what forces from the attentive OBJ
server the admission that to-day's cele-
bration is meant TO be the anniversary
OF the American nations death rather
than of its birth.

and a manner of carrying on the war
which repeatedly exposed the country
TO the humiliating defeats and most
threatening dangers. No matter
