STATE COMMITTEE ID CANVASS VOTE OF
 RECENT PRIMARY
Meeting Today at Tutwiler of Democratic Committee. Unique Contest in Race
 for Sheriff

Two contests will come before the state democratic executive committee when it meets at the Tutwiler hotel today. Both grew out of races for the office of sheriff. one from Clark county and the other from Russell county.
 The Russell county case is rather unique i'll that there is no dispute over the vote cast and no allegation of fraud. The con- test grows out of the fact that the pres. ent norainee was elected sheriff for the term whicn expires next January, and sometime ago was impeached and re- moved from office.
 Those con.esting the nomination con tend that the law prohibiting sherif succeeding himself applies in this in stance, even, though the person elected did not serve out his full term. Tne5 say that the fact that q man is elected for a full term makes him ineligiol under the constitution, for election ;c the succeeding term.
 Aside frcm hearing and deciding che two contests the committeee will have only perfunctory duties to perform. It

will canvas the vote cast in the primary election on August ls and announce She result.
 No call has been issued for meeting of the new committee, elected on August 1s, and noEe is likely to be made for sore. time. The old committee which has charc of the primary eiecrion, ana hears llt contests arising out of it, according to the ruling of the committee in the Troy city primary election case. which cams before the committee last May in the contest proceedings between rival can didates fer mayor.
 Until the vote is counted no offf-lal notice u the election can be made and, therefore. the new members have to ava It action by the old committee before they can begin performing the duties for which they were elected.
 J. Kelly Dixon of Talladega, chairman of the ce,ainlttee, came to Birmingham yesterday iE advance of the meeting. He stated that he had been absent from ;le state for sometime and had not informsd himself as tc the matters coming before the committee at this meeting.

 Exquisite floral designs from friends and well-wishers adorned the prettily decorated parlors on the occasion of the opening, and the magniticently mir rored rooms luxuriously carpeted and tastefplly furnished formed an effec- tive background for the beautiful dis play of suits, coats, peignoirs, blouses, negligees and other feminine access sories to please and dazzle the eye.

HUNS BEGINNING ID LEARN WHAT VICTORIES MEAN
German Press Says Strug- gle Grows More FOrmida- ble Daily-Neutral Pa
 pers ComplimentA Allies

Washington. September 2.-Germany's growing realization of what the allied victories in France and Flanders mean Tcontinue to be reflected in the Changed tone of the Gakman press. An official dispatch today quotes the following from the Cologne Gazette:
 The struggle going on the south- ern front becomes every day greater and more formidable. The greatest Ger man offensive cannot even be compared to the present fights We must not let the relative calm reigning in some sec tfons deceive. Formidable forces are gathered there. Are these troops in need of rest, or are they designed for fresh fighting. ready to attack on the first op- portunity?''
 This paper comedies that it does not understand Fochs strategy and adds: "Our staff must take the necessary dis- positions to meet any painful eventual ities.
 Other dispatches today comment upon tne evolution of the press in neutral countries since the allies took the offen- sive. AS an example the Germano- Swiss paper, the new Zurich Gazette, is quoted as paying a fine tribute to Marshal Foch's military genius. saying he not only IS theorist of deep knowl- cage, but also "a leader wonderfully able to get his methods used on the bat t1efield.'
 From the Basic National Gazette this is taken:
 The German morale will be irremedi- ably shaken by the allied victories. The belief in Hindengurg and Luden- dorff animated the whole German policy: it was the secret of it's power. They have been defeated. The Germans have for haan hrnit to1,t i,, ha idea that they are the strongest and this belief formed the basis of their concep- tion of the universe. If they suddenly find out that they have been mistaken, it is just as if the floor that supports them gave way
