u. ). Butter Stocks
Lowest in y Years
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-Butter in
storage for civilians has shrunk to
the lowest level In % years or more,
the American Dairy Association re-
ported yesterday.
Owen NJ. Richards, association
manager, said that on September
only one pound of butter was in
stockpile for civilians for every IS
pounds available at a comparable
date in peacetime years.
Mr.. Richards said even though the
Government has announced it would
quit buying butter next month, un-
til production climbs in the spring,
the immediate outlook Is for con-
tinued shortage for civilians.
He said total butter storage Sep
tember l was l38,0OO,O0O pounds,
we'll below the flve-year average of
178 1000 900. He added that only
1900 900 pounds of this were esti-
mated to be in storage for civilians,
the remainder being designated for
use by the Army and Government
agencies.
Mr.. Richards asserted current pro-
duction is running about 10 per cent
under last years output at this
time
He said the decline was due prin-
'cipally to wartime diversion of
butterfat away from butter and was
not the result of any lag in milk
production by dairy farmers.

CAIRO, Sept. u.s. Chaos is

tors said today the situation prob
ably is miniature of what the
Allies will encounter in Germany

The Germans told in their COM

their erstwhile allies. the Bulgarians.
at Prilep in Macedonia, where "a
strong Bulgarian force was smashed
with our own losses negligible"
The Bulgarians left their entire
equipment of guns and heavy wea-
pons in our hands," the broadcast
Berlin communique said. Local
fighting is going on at the Bulgarian
border and at the Iron Gate" where
the Danube cuts through the Car

Information reaching Cairo said
the Germans lack coordination in
eXtricating their occupation troops
in the Balkans, outflanked and in an
increasingly untenable position since
the about-faces of Romania and
Bulgaria and the swift advances of
the Russians to the frontiers of
Hungary, Yugoslavia and Greece

wherever possible, some obviously
are waiting to surrender to the Allies

are continuing to fight in isolated
pockets.

Of frayed telephone and rail lines.
Individual groups thus are shifting

Western Germany when the Wehr-
