organisations, such as Chambers of Commerce and Business Clubs. Typical
of the campaign is the formation of a Buyers' League which is intended
to assemble all persons who will take a resolution never to buy a German
product and be satisfied for the remainder of their lives with the
French manufactured article.

Wherever you go in France, you find some concrete and striking evidence
of the Anti-German wave. When you get a bundle from a Paris shop, you
are likely to find stuck on it a brilliantly coloured stamp showing a
pair of bloody hands holding a number of packages, the largest one
labeled "made in Germany." Under it is the sentence in French reading:
"Frenchmen, do not buy German products. The hands that made are reddened
with the blood of our soldiers."

There is great variety in these stamps, which are used on letters and
packages. One of the most popular shows a helmeted German with a brutal
face holding a smiling mask before his visage. In one hand he holds a
bundle marked "Made in Germany." On this stamp is the inscription:
"Mistrust their smiles--in every German there is a spy."

Still another and equally popular stamp pictures a soldier with bandaged
head standing by a prostrate comrade and pointing to a fleeing German.
The inscription reads: "We chase the Germans during the war. You,
civilians, will you allow them to return after peace?"

One stamp used much throughout the Provincial French cities shows a
woman in deep mourning weeping over a grave marked with a cross
surmounted by a red soldier cap. The woman is supposed to be saying
these words: "French people, buy no more German products. Remember this
grave."
