For Civilians Predicted
BY the Associated Press.


The Agriculture Department pre-
diets that the per capita civilian
supply of butter for the last quarter
Of this year will be lower than at
any time in over half a century,
due to seasonal decline in produc-
tion and large military requirements.
Butter production this year has
failed to keep pace with either last
years output or the war food admin
istration's production goal.
In monthly food report, the De-
partment said the overall situation
will be comparatively good for the
remainder of 1914.
Besides butter, however, there will
be somewhat less of other manu-
factured dairy products, canned
fruits, canned vegetables. lamb and
better grade beef than during the
spring and summer.
Fresh fruits and vegetables are
expected to be more plentiful than
last year.

Reason for Leaving
Democratic Party
Explained by Wi||kie>
BY the Associated Press.


BIRMINGHAM. Ala, Sept. D.
Wendell L. Willkie, Republican NOM
inee for President In 1910, said yes
terday in an article written for the
Birmingham Age-Herald that he
left the Democratic party when it
began to violate the very essence
OF Wilson's philosophy OF govern
ment" in the middle 30s.
The article was written for John
Temple Graves, Age-Herald COL
umnist, and was used by the news
paper in his column yesterday. Mr..
Willkie, delegates to the Demo-
cratic National Convention in 1924.
devoted large part of his article
to description Of Newton D. Bak-
er's fight for a platform indorse-
ment Of the League of Nations at
the 1924 convention. He termed Mr..
Bakers convention address lone of
the really great convention speeches
OF our history"
In 1882, he said, the Baker boys,
grown older If no more skillful po-
ltically, decided to bring about the
nomination of Newton D. Baker"
at the Democratic convention after
President Roosevelt publicly re-
pudiated the League Of Nations"
1--WE had plan" he said. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt and Alfred E. Smith
were the leading candidates. We
worked feverishly for second choice
votes for the leader Baker who
almost alone through the dark iso-
lationist 20s had fought consistently
for world cooperation.
Again we lost. For Garner and
McAdoo and Hearst and Joe Ken
nedy and Jim Farley got together
and no subject interested them less
than the cause of world co-opera-
ton.
After these experiences and after
the Democratic party in the middle
30s began to violate the very es-
sence of wilson's philosophy of gov
ernment-'the state exists for the
sake of society, not society for the
state'-I left the Democratic party.
or perhaps the Democratic party
left me-"

sent me to pulled small book out of his

'See here In one day at Faverges, one
thousand liters of petrol and three hundred
and eighty iters of oil were stolen. Again,
near Bonneville. we got six hundred pairs of
trousers, one hundred military tunics.
Some of our arms we capture from the
Germans. Some are English and American

planes do fly over and parachutes do drop
And then there are submarines which find
their way into the coast of France. More and
more arms are reaching us as official presents
from the Allies.

EACH day, we become more important to
the Allies. Cermany's main supply route to
its troops in Italy passes through maquis ter
ritory in the French Alps We have become
expert train wreckers. Many an Allied soldier
in Italy owes his life to the Nazi gun or am
munition or soldier that never got across the
Alps because of the patriots and the men of
the maquis."
But they could not do this alone.
People of the villages help them. They
always know when a conscription order
is coming through, for example. One OF
the most important jobs they do is raid city
halls after the Nazis have spent weeks
assembling lists of people they intend to draft.
Sometimes they destroy only the lists. Other
times, they've burned down the city hall and
destroyed every record in the place. Look"
he pointed to his little book again, last month
