In the group were several women planning to make trips abroad next summer. Pour hundred office girls em- pioyed by a Cincinnati firm pledg- | ed themselves not to buy articles| of French origin and accept them | as gifts, “pending a change in the| attitude of the French government and its people.” According to Associated Press ad-‘ vices from London, the bitterness that appeared Wednesday gave Wway yesterday to a se]f-consclous‘ pride that Great Britain had not This was noticeable in Capt.
