 ARCONNE HILL
FRENCH GOVERNMENT CONSID- FRS MAKING HISTORICAL MON UMENT OF MONT FALCON HILL IN ARGONNE FOREST; MANY AMERICANS BURIED THERE.

PARIS. Dec. 1S.-P)--In commem- oration of the great work done by the Americans in the Argonne for est, the French government is seri- ously considering making an his torical monument of Mont Faucon hill situated in the now famous woods. More particular attention is being paid this site as probable monument to the Americans than any other along the western front, owing to the fact that it is the scene of one of the greatest battles in the his tory of the war and that hundreds of Americans, who died fighting the Germans. are buried on the hill.
 In case Mont Faucon is made a monument, the ruins of the village on the hilltop will be left untouched, that the coming generations may realize what fearfuls toll modern warfare exacts in damage to prop erty.
 It is the general opinion of the French people that some monument to American soldiers should be erect ed along the battle front and the main question concerns only its site.
