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," la circulated right under the noses of the Germans in the manner in which some English shops send out their catalogues, by choosing names › at random from directories and dispatching the tract through the post.

Commenting on the English bombardment of the French porta, "Pantagruel" says: "If we admit that the English aro fighting for us at the samo time as for themselves, and that is the true case, they are no more to be blamed than our own soldiers who blew up ;

Of Dakar and Oran it says: "Naturally the people's good sense reacted when the cer- tainly regrettable incidents of Oran and Dakar were fully exploited; when, with the bad faith natural to those who are accustomed to lying, Dr Goeb- bels and his gang accused the English of wanting to take away our colonies."

"Paper is scarce," it says.. "Pass on "Pantagruel" cau- tiously, as often as possible by letter, without the sender's namo. Do not be inactive or indifferent. France is not benten.

"Do not read this tract in public and do not speak about it to the Germans nor to their friends."

In a country where the death penalty is levied lightly, it must take consider-. able courage to comment on the sentence to death of Ad- miral Muselier in the follow- ing terms: "All real putriots feel indignation and contempt for this new injustice. Vive de Gaulle. Vive Museller.”

As to the death penalty, Pantagruel remarks; "It is applied easily under the Hit- ler regime, perhaps because life is less pleasant in Hitler's Germany than anywhere else, the price of life is relatively lesa,"

"Il Vaincra"

Addressing a message to all loyal Frenchmen, "Panta- gruel" ends its first number with: "Rally morally to General de Gaulle who is the only man in the eyes of the world to hold up the French tradition of heroism and res pect for the given word.

"Supported by the English people whose immovable reso- lution is legendary, he will win."
