The first proof, however, of an active de Gaulle movement in France, is contained in a modest weekly publication, written clandestinely in Paris, and called "Pantagruel". Named after the famous Ra- belais character "Pantagruel, Feuille d'Informations," is circulated right under the noses of the Germans in the manner in which Bome English shops send out their catalogues, by choosing names at random from directories and dispatching the tract through the post. Sympathisers

When he was given the latier appointment he needed a secretary who could understand engineering terms and keep her mouth' shut. He found such a girl in Miss Beryl Morden, formerly a clerk in City motor sales firin, who, be- fore the French collapse, worked for the Earl in Paris,

She escaped with him from that doomed city with the Nazis hard on their heels. For two days and two nights they hid in their car at Bor- deaux and, after seeing the ship which they were to have boarded blown up, eventually crossed to Eng- land in a small cargo boat, their re- cords safe.
