OPENING OF TROLLEY FARE
 HEARING IN HARTFORD.
Corporation Counsel Cole Opened Ar
 eument Against Six Cent Rate.

Hartford, Conn. Dec. 3.-After open ing Statements had been made on Hartford'S plea that the Connecticut company be com peHed to grant a. five Cent fare on trolleyS operating within the city's fare limits before the public utilities commission here today, the hearing was adjourned until Dec. 10.
 Corporation Counsel Francis w. Cole opened the argument against the pre- the city should be treated as a sep arate system and fares based upon in- come derived within it. and not be compelled to make up deficits accruihg through business at other points.
 J. F. Berry, representing the Con necticut company, declared that the corporation should not be considered as composed of individual units but a whole when rates of fare were brought in question. He argued that at five cents none of its lines could be maintained profitably.
 Dr. Thomas Conway, Jr., professor of economies at the Wharton school of finance at the University of Pennsyl- vania. called by the Connecticut com pany, occupied most of the afternoon, giving statistics to show that at the present cost of labor, rolling stock, re- placements and like necessities no troll ley lines in the east could be conduct ed efficiently at a five cent fare.
 Alderman Schwolsky, chairman of the aldermanic committee which pass ed upon the citizens appeal for re- duced rates, said that at the hearing the road was criticized for the poor service and that the company officials had said that they did not know whether the Hartford lines were on a paying basis.

TRIBUTE TO CONDUCT
 OF AMERICAN ENGINEERS
Paid in mn Official Communication
 From the French Government.

Washington. Dec. 3.-High tribute to the gallant conduct of the Ameri- canf engineer corps in France, who were in the German encircling attack on tthe British attack near Cambrai is paid in an official communica ton from the French government received here tonight by cable. The communication follows:
 We must remark upon the conduct of certain of American soldiers. pio- neers and workmen on the military railroad in the sector of the German attack west of Cambrai on November %. They exchanged their picks anc sbovels for rifles and cartridges and fought with the English. Many died thus sbravely. arms in hand, before the invader All helped to repulse the enemy. There is not a single person who saw them at work who does not render warm praise to the coolness. discipline and courage of these inn prorised combatants."
Norwich bulletin., 1917-12-04

Extremely hard fighting, with the Germans using great forces of in- fantry in mass formation, is taking place along the southwestern and the southeastern sections of the Cambrai salient
 querie and southward to Vendhuile and northward toward Masnieres bat ties waged with great fierceDess throughout Monday, but with the Ger mans nowhere successful in breaking the British front. At La VacQuerie they again succeeded in penetrating the village from which they were elected previously, but a strong coun- ter-attack again turned the scales in favor of General Byng's forces who threw out the enemy, infiicting heavy casualties on him.
 As in their previous attacks the Ger mans used great masses of material, but the British forces everywhere met their onslaughts stoically and at last at all points.
 Although the Germans in their of tensive have been using men reckon ed at twenty divisions, the British have been able here and there to re- gnin some of the ground they lost in the Initial attack. which was dcliv- predf with a suddenness similar to that of Byng's big drive toward Cambrai Sunday night they had gained the eaftern edge of the village of Viilers- Grislain and ds2driyen out the Germans from La Eacquerie. They held this when they were compelled aga7n to csde 1t to the enemy only to take it agnin later in the day. Southwest of Bourbon Village to the west of Gam hrai, they also have recovered los. terrain

The German war office asserts that six thousand British have been made prisoner during their drive and that one hundred guns have Leen taken from them large number of the guns already have been recaptured. The four days battle is described as the most sanguinary one that has taken. place since the days of Verdun and the first battle of Ypres.
 Artillery duels are in progress be- tween the French and the Germans north of the Chemin des Danes and in the verdun sector. An attack by the Germans north of F1irey in the latter region was entirely without re- suit, the Germans being driven back by the French, suffering heavy cas- ualties and leaving prisoners behind them.
 Likewise, on the Italian front the fighting is mostly by means of big guns, the duels being intense on the northern line in the hilly region be- tween the Brenta and Piave rivers.
 No details have yet been received concerning the negotiations between :he Germans and the Russians for an acmiStice, although the German grand headquarters announces that an ar- mistice already is in force on sections OI the Russo German front. Ir addi- ton to Austria Hungary accepting the proposal of the Russians for ces- sation of hoStilities, Bulgaria also is to open negotiations with Russia with the same object in view
 Meanwhile the internal situation in Russia remains acute. Infantry and machine gun ~detachments have been sent against the general staff head met the BolshevilSi regimes demand that proper arrangements be made by the conamander-in-c chief with the Ger mans for an armiStice
