Good progress is being made with the Armistice Monument in the glade of Compiegne Forest where, on November 11, 1918, the German envoys signed Marshal Foch's armistice terms. "Here succumbed the criminal pride of the German Empire," is the inscription to be cut on the granite monument which is to be unveiled on November 11 next: in' the course of a ceremony now being organized by the French. ex-service men's association, and the Ligue des Chefs de Section et des Soldats Combattants. Among those expected to attend the cere: many are President Millerand, the King of the Belgians, the President of the Portuguese Republic, M. Poincaré, Marshal Foch, Admiral Lord Wester Wemyss (who was present at the signing of the armistice as representative of the Allied navies), the Allied Ambassadors in Paris, etc. Under the monument is to be placed a list of those who subscribed towards its cost. As everyone knows, the signing of the Armistice took place in a railway dining car then, used as Marshal Foch's study or office. This car is now in: the courtyard of the Invalides, quite unsheltered from the weather, and is hardly likely to be preserved as a_ relic for posterity unless some better place is found for it.
