FOR FIVE CENT FAR
Hearing Being Held in Hartford Be-
fore Public Utilities Commission for
Lower Trolley Rate.

Hartford, Dec "a plea that
Hartford be allowed a five cent troll
ley fare on the grounds that the city
lines could be run at profit on
that basis, was put before the Public
Utilities commission at the capitol to-
day by Corporation Counsel Francis
w. Cole of this city.
Attorney Cole declared that there
was no justification for the company's
pooling its reports and not giving out
the receipts and cost of operation in
Hartford and other cities independ-
emily.
George D. Watrous, Edward NJ. Day
and J. F. Berry were present as coun-
sci for the Connecticut company and
Gen. Manager J. K. Punderford was
also on hand. Corporation Counsel
Cole represented the city Of Hartford.
Under the six cent fare. Mr.. Cole
said. the company had lost a great
deal of patronage.
And yet. in the face Of this the
company has gone ahead and pushed
UP it's fare above that of the jitneys,"
said the city's representative.
Alderman Schwolzky, chairman Of
the committee on railways Of Hart
ford board of aldermen, said that
at the hearing which his committee
held there was much feeling against
the alleged poor service being given
by the company. He said the COM
pary did not know whether or not
the lines within the Hartford city
limits were a paying proposition.
The company had declared, he said.
that it could not furnish the data
without going through mass Of de-
tail. 1T is up to the company to
show that it is operating the lines
in the city at loss or a too small
profit said Mr.. Schwolzky.

OUR ARMY ENGINEERS
WORK WITH BRITISH
Some of Them Seize Rifles and Assist
in Keeping Germans From
Progressing.

British Army in France, Dec. L.
(By the Associated Press American
army engineers working in the region
of Couseacourt joined the fighting
ranks of their British allies yesterday
which resulted in the village being
enVelO ped for n time. Many of the
engineers were caught in the German
turning movement about the village
and only escape death or capture by
lying concealed for hours in shell
holes until the British had succeeded
in pushing the invaders back. Hun
dreds of other men from overseas
were subjected to Commandment from
enemy artillery and great quantities
of gas shells were thrown near where
they were working.
Many of the engineers seized rifles
and fought side by side with the
Tommies throughout the bitter day,
and many scores of Am orleans were
armed and sent forward as volunteers
to do patrol duty in the hospital zone
before which q large army of Ger
mans were encamped. One British
general in conversation with the cor
respondent spoke In the most glowing
terms of the valuable services rem
dered by the engineers.
The experiences of these men and
of these who were caught behind the
German advance probably surpasses
anything which the evolutionary
force on the American front yet has
encountered in the way of actual
fighting.
