Encourage Spirit of Adventure.

The spirit of adventure, so nearly
universal In youth, commonly is
thwarted at every turn. Yet this Is
one of Its finest gifts; when it has
gone, life's greatest promise is past.
An educational system should nurture
and direct this spirit, bringing it to ex-
preston in a daring to aim at high
standards, In adventures into new
fields Of action, thought, and knowl-
edge; in a desire for the hard, strenu-
GUS things which temper and stabilize
character. The sporting instinct Of
youth demands these difficult tasks,
and life is stale when they cannot be
found.-Arthur e. Morgan, In the At
lantic.

General Belief That There Are
100 In County and City;
Strict Censorship AS To
Names and Details

Although it is the general belief
that there are not less than 100 in
this city and the surrounding country,
only nine alien enemies presented
themselves at the local postoffice and
the office Of the chief Of police for
registration during the period of reg
istration just closed.
Tho registration closed Thursday
night at 3 o'clock after having been
extended four days over the original
six days allotted for the work.
Alien enemies, or residents who
come under this classification, who
failed TO register are liable TO ar
rest and either interment for the dur
alton of the war or deportation.
Federal officials knowing that q
number Of aliens who come under the
rule had evaded the registration dur
ing the first six days, extended the
time after issuing special warning
to all delinquent ones. The govern
ment in order to give all an opportun
ity TO tote square" even went SO far
as to put a strict censorship on reg

no intimate information touching the
registration has been made public.

among the Teutons. Chancellor Won
Hertlng IS unyielding and talks war,
Count Czernin is more conciliatory
and hints peace. Lloyd George is the
martial; President Wilson the more
pacific member Of the opposing team.
1t is supposed Won Hertling will not
overlook this development when he
delivers his rejoinder TO Mr. Wilson
next week Inasmuch as Count
Czernin's attitude has raised the hope
IN this country of the detachment OF
Austria from Germany, there would
be little occasion for surprise il
Hertling should try to make capital
out of these differences.
With Allies to the End
Some unduly nervous public men
cave begun TO be obsessed by fears
that the President is travelling a road
which may lead him eventually into
greater conflict with the allies Ad-
ministration officials assert, however,
that such suspicious are ridiculous.
The President has gone on record en-
phatically and without reservation
that America will stand with the
allies to the end,
According to the administration, the
disagreement between Mr. Wilson and
The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1918-02-16

the allied governments is one OF views,
not of policies. The President, it is
asserted, has abated no whit his de-
termination to wage the war to vic
tory side by side with the allies. But
while the war is being waged vigor-
ously Mr. Wilson thinks 1t entirely
feasible to discuss peace with the
enemy in the hope that a common
basis of understanding may be more
closely approached.
Those advisers of the President
who repose great faith in his theory
that the German people eventually
will repudiate their military masters
believe that the wisdom of Mr. Will
sons policy will be appreciated at no
distant date.
1t is conceived that it anything
can impel the German people to over
throw the Prussian autocracy and de-
mand democratic peace, it will be
such military reyerses as German
arms will suffer this spring, if the
allies succeed in their plans. AT such
moment, it is asserted, the concili-
atory attitude of the President will go
far to reassure the German people
and strengthen them in the resolve to
rid themselves of their oppressors.
