The administration has received
intimations from Berlin that Imperial
Chancellor Won Bethmann-HollWcg
will meet Secretary Lansing more
than halfway in the submarine war
fare controversy. The intimations re-
ccived arc such, it was asserted, as to
remove the possible peril of dipIo-
matte break with Germany, despite
the apparent seriousness oil some OF
the cases pending, especially that Of
the Sussex. The statement was made
that Germany in good faith made de-
finite promises to tho United States
respecting her conduct Of submarine
activities, but that she never commit
ted herself TO policy that would
prevent her attacking armed enemy
vessels. Her pledges related only to
noncombatant unarmcd merchant
ships.

VOICE OF
THE PEOPLE.

- A majority of the democratic Vot-
ers of the city Of Alexandria yes
terday determined to make Thomas
A. Fisher the successor to hlmself
as Mayor of the city. They saw no
good reason why Mr.. Fisher, who
has given the position his undivided
attention during the past four years,
should not be honored with second
term, which is a sort of unwrltten
law among US.
There ca;a be no doubt that Mr..
Fisher has kept his eyes wide open
in the interests of the people ne re-
presents since he took the oath OF
office September 1st, 1872, "hlle
he has kept within touch with things
without, he has been equally vide
awake to those within, and has close
" scrutinized and weighed carefully
every act of the City Council, not
losing sight of the fact that he IS
part of the legislative branch OF the
city. When errors have been dlscov-
cred or inadvertence apparent, his
courteous communications to Counci'
have resulted in votes sustaining nm.
There are always more or less
nromises on the part Of candidates OF
what will be done in the event OF
changes in administrations. Those
who make them no doubt believe IN
their Feasibility; but it is one thing
to build air castles and another 20
bring about their crystalizaton. Mr,
nishcr has the city's interest at
heart as much as any Off,
cial or one of the rank and file, and
that he will be ever ready to acccl-
crate her interest goes without say
ing. His past official life is an earn
est of what we may always expect Of
him.
Mr.. Fisher was elected Mayor four
years ago by landslide. While there
was no tidal wave yesterday, his vote
shows that the majority of the peo-
pie are satisfied with his admin
istration.
Mr.. Duncan made a good race and
would have made q good mayor Ii
elected, but the people willcd other
wise.
The best crcdcntia! Of ofliccholdcrs
in Alexandria is the fact that there
is but little disposition to change
these officials. This has long been Sc
with the minor officials. The same
c""fid".",""" "nS expressed yesterday
in sa@ IS + The chief executive
het,s W. good rcaS"n why he
Q0l5 aut ggfc been given his sec
